Double Surprise!
Aislinn Ryan and Ken Cormier
Warwick Valley NY jr Aislinn Ryan 17:31 duplicated her Great American win by getting on top early and never looking back, putting big daylight on her pursuers Marie Lawrence NV 17:39, Ramsey Kavan SD 17:47, Whitney Anderson CO 17:49 and Brittany Tinsley OH 17:49. The Midwest girls 28 beat the West 46.
Douglas AZ sr Ken Cormier's win came after a steady rally over the last mile until he caught duelling leaders Andy Bumbalough TN and John McGuire CO with 300 meters to go and then shook off a counter punch from Bumbalough near the finish (below). Mark Matusak CA finished strong to edge McGuire for third and lead the West region boys to the team title, beating defending champs Midwest, 32-38.

The "camelbacks", a series of short hills five feet apart, took runners out of their rhythm and, along with mud and generally soft footing, kept the flat course from being a speedway.
The famous spread (9 seconds at the New York Federation meet) of Fayetteville-Manlius NY (Stotan AC) was stretched out by York's upfront duo of Sean McNamara and Matt Dettman and by passing runners in the last 500 meters. Here, Stotan's 3-4-5 runners in maroon are finishing 31, 34, and 35. Stotan's fifth was 7 places ahead of York's fifth, but that couldn't overcome York's 42-point advantage through four runners.
Saratoga dominated the team race, but Ramsey Kavan dominated the individual race, remaining unbeaten on the year, with back to back wins in the mud (Foot Locker Midwest Nov. 27).

Thanks to the new Finish Lynx scoring system, with team scores and standings every 1000 meters, the crowd could follow the team battle on 23-foot screens. The system also fed coaches (left) the data on Palm Pilots. In the boys race, the Harrier Crusaders OR (Jesuit) were out early, but Stotan NY (Fayetteville-Manlius) took the lead after 2,000 meters. York Elmhurst IL responded in the third segment but had only a 5-point lead with 1,000 meters to go. It seemed that a furious finish loomed. But York pulled away for a convincing win behind individual winner Sean McNamara. Matt Dettman's fourth place finish was a key for York as the Illinois crew and others pushed F-M's 3-4-5 runners back.
There was no suspense in the girls race after Saratoga put their four Foot Locker finalists in the top six after 1,000 meters. Ramsay Kavan of South Dakota settled the individual race early as well, with Brie Felnagle WA closing fast to beat Saratoga's Nicole Blood for second. Next were Smoky Hill CO's Foot Locker finalists -- Katelyn Kaltenbach and Keara Sammons -- finishing together in 4th and 5th place. |

- Bill Aris, coach of Fayetteville-Manlius NY (runner-up to York IL)
- "I believe York would be an outstanding team on any type of course."

 - F-M junior Andrew McCann: (left) "There were so many great teams in the race. It wasn't an upset. I'm never going to forget it. This is probably going to be the best year of my life, I can tell you that right now. Next year we're going to have a new group of Stotans -- another great team."
- Jared Burdick, the only senior on F-M: "This [NTN] is definitely the cherry on top of the sundae."
- Linda Kranick, coach, Saratoga NY girls, US#1 for 11 of last 13 years :
- "Our kids are just regular kids like the kids on every other team."
- "What this meet has done for cross country running is unbelievable."
- Pat Caulfield, Cedar Cliff PA runner: "This [NTN] is epic for cross country."

Leo Collins reports:
2-legged thoroughbreds and high technology
on display at Portland Meadows.
It was a wonderful experience for both fans and competitors. there were no gloomy faces to be seen after the race had ended. Everyone seemed to know they had taken part in something special.
Choosing the best is not an easy task & this was a brilliant step in the right direction.
A Jesuit Portland runner: "This season has been the most fun. It's all about team!" |
