At the 2015 Prefontaine Classic, Maclay runners Clay Milford, Jake Mazziotta, and James McClure led most of the 5K race running together. Clay Milford jumped ahead late to get the win, and the trio led the Maclay boys to a win over a field of six teams.There is, after all, no reason to change a winning plan. Milford, Mazziotta, and McClure were together again after the race.
"We just wanted the win today. We knew our top three were good, but four was a problem. Our fourth man is in Denver at a concert."
"We're gonna tell him we lost by one point."
The times at least were different in 2015. Milford ran 17:39, Mazziotta 17:41, and McClure 17:48. Gatlin Nennstiel of Aucilla Christian was fourth in 18:13, while 2014's fourth-place runner, Wakulla's Bryce Cole, was fifth in 18:45.
Cole's Wakulla team came very close to overtaking Maclay, scoring 36 points to Maclay's 32. Florida State University School was third with 104 points.
