DES MOINES, Iowa — Michael Norman and Trevor Stewart both dipped under 45-seconds in the heats of the men’s 400m on Day 1 at the 2019 USATF Outdoor Championships on Thursday.

Stewart of North Carolina A&T sealed victory in the second heat of the one-lap event in 44.76 seconds, the fastest of the evening with Blake Leeper (45.09) and Wil London (45.47) advanced automatically as well after finishing in the top three.

Norman, the world-leader in 2019, secured victory in the fourth heat with a time of 44.81 secs — leading home Nathan Strother in 45.17 and Michael Cherry in 45.42.

Fred Kerley, another contender for the national title, won heat three of the men’s 400m with a time of 45.09, crossing the line ahead of Vernon Norwood, who ran 45.39 and Marcus Chambers (45.62).
