Satisfied that Lerner had overcome a tendency toward "meet-nervousness" to which he had been prone and anxious to keep him from over-strain, Jaakko scratched Lerner from the semi-finals. Although MacKechnie placed fifth in an eight man host in the same run, the finish was close enough to put him within an ace of pay time. A little more training will turn the trick for the "lab-be-labored" pacers...
