Can you snap your fingers in 2/100 of a second? Two-hundredths of a second was all that separated first and second place in the Crusader 1600m race. Waukesha West's Alyssa Beste barely edged out Kenosha Bradford's Hope Christie in one of the days most exciting finishes. Less than 7/10ths of a second separated the first five runners.
