Long-Shot Suwanee GA bests Tatnall DE and No. 1 ranked Caution TC (Mountain Brook AL)
 
By ARTHUR L. MACK, DyeStat correspondent
 
HOOVER, AL, September 24--Everyone at Hoover's Veterans Park--the site of the Nike Team Nationals
Southeastern Regionals--was sure that Caution TC (better known as the Mountain Brook girls cross-
country team) would walk away with the girls' title. After all, it was the top-ranked team in the region, and
ranked fifth in the country. 

Apparently, the Suwanee XC Club, better known as the Collins Hill cross-country team, didn't read the
memo. 


A strong second-place by Amanda Winslow in 18 minutes, 35.7 seconds, along with a sixth-place finish
by Nicky Akande (19:06.9), 10th by Allyson McGinty (19:28.) and 15th by Briana Crawford (19:37.3) was
more that enough to overcome Caution TC's Madeline Morgan's winning run of 18:26.2 as Suwanee XC
defeated Tatnall RC (Tatnall High of Wilmington, Delaware) 69-79. 

Tatnall RC was led by Juliet Bottorff (third in 18:40.3), Molly Parsons and Kallie Fehr. Parsons and Fehr
were 13th and 14th repectively in 19:36.9 

Both Suwanee XC and Tatnall RC received automatic bids to the Nike Team National Championships in
Portland, Oregon on December 1. 

1st, Madeline Morgan, leading Caution TC (Mountain Brook) to 3rd place.
2nd, Amanda Winslow, leading Suwanee GA (Collins Hill) to the team title.
3rd, Juliet Bottorff, leading Tatnall DE to 2nd place and a return trip to Portland.

"It's amazing, and it feels so good I don't know how to describe it," said Winslow, who was one of only
three runners to break 19 minutes on a cold windy day running on a course--complete with a gravel
surface and haybales--that could best be described as challenging. 

"I thought we had a really good chance of doing well," and I'm really happy because we were not
expecting to win," said Akande. 

Tatnall made it to last year's NTN National Championships as an at-large team
and finished 12th running as the Wilmington XC Club.  Despite being ranked
second in the Southeast this year, Bottorff, Parsons, and Fehr felt that anything could happen,
especially on a course such as the one at Veterans Park. 

"We we're still really nervous the whole time (coming into the meet) Bottorff said. "But we are surprised
and very, very excited (to automatically qualify)." 

"Everyone was really nervous, because there was a lot of good competition," said Parsons. 
"This course was different than other courses we ran, with the gravel and haybales," Fehr added. "We
never had anything like that in Delaware."    

Caution TC, which finshed third with 88 points, and No. 7 ranked Episcopal RC (Episcopal of
Jacksonville), fourth with 100 points, had to settle for hopes to be selected as one of four at-large teams
for the NTN Championships, while Greenbelt XC (Eleanor Roosevelt of Greenbelt, Md) rounded out the
top five with 108 points. 

Suwanee/Collins Hill, the 2007 Georgia 5A girls' cross-country champions, was considered a longshot at
best to even challenge for the title, considering the talent Caution TC had with Morgan, Marie Demedicis,
and Catherine Diethelm. But past experience with the course, combined with a sub-par race by Diethelm,
worked in Suwanee's favor despite the cold, windy weather. 

"We ran Great American here, and I ran on this course last year," said McGinty. "Teamwise, it was great." 


These girls in black are actually from three teams -- Leslie Boozer of Caution-Mtn Brook AL (1151),
Kallie Fehr of Tatnall DE (1239), Molly Parsons of Tatnall (1243), and Allyson McGinty of Suwanee GA-Collins Hill (1232).



It was hard to tell the difference between Suwanee XC and Caution TC, because both had similar
black uniforms. However, there was no mistaking the front runners, as Morgan, Winslow, Bottorff, and
Greenbelt's Dominique Lockhart led the 95 runners after the first mile. 

Morgan broke away from the pack soon after, while Winslow was trying to maintain contact. 

"I knew I needed to stay in that front pack, and Morgan took a pretty big lead when we went into the
woods," said Winslow. "At one point I thought she was just gone, and I was just settling for third. But
then I caught the Tatnall girl (Bottorff) and actually got pretty close to Morgan at the finish." 

Though Morgan's team had to settle for hopes of an at-large selection, the individual win was a
vindication of sorts for Morgan, who had to drop out of her state meet race earlier in the month because
of dizziness. 

"We didn't know what to expect, because our coach wasn't even allowed to talk to us because of all the
rules and stuff," Morgan said. "But it turned out pretty well. The competition was good. I felt I had the race
under control at about a mile and a half."
