Nery Finishes Fourth in Valencia Track and Field
by Rod Hughes
Costa Rican sprinter Nery Brenes finished just out of the money at the World Indoor competition in Valencia, Spain, last weekend, an impressive fourth in the 400-meter. His time was 46.65 seconds, two laps around the 200-meter oval.
This was the best performance of the handful of athletes sent from this country. Winner of the 400 was Canada’s Tyler Christopher, followed by Sweden’s Johan Wissman and Chris Brown from the Bahamas, barely edging Brenes.
