NTN Splits BOYS - GIRLS - Attention, stats freaks. You heard about the new FinishLynx system with standings and team scores every 1,000 meters. Well, here are all the figures -- enough to keep you busy analyzing until next season.
NTN action photo albums
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. |

NTN quotes and photos by Don Rich, Northeast regional editor
- 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."
- This [NTN] is the best thing to happen to high school cross country, and maybe to high school athletics. It shows vision."
 - 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!" |

Qualifying for Foot Locker at NTN
The expansion of Foot Locker national finals to 10 per region, with the two extra slots coming from the top two individuals from Foot Locker regions at NTN, created a meet within the meet in Portland. Some Foot Locker alternates from the Midwest, Northeast and South regions had a second chance to get to San Diego Dec. 11. Read the meet within the meet to see how it all shaped up. |
Boys
In the Northeast, a consolation prize for Fayetteville-Manlius as Tommy Gruenewald and Andrew McCann qualify.
From the Midwest, York's Sean McNamara in 1st and Matthew Dettman in 4th take the two auto spots.
In the South, Bedsole's 8th place vaults Sandy Roberts NC from 9th at South regional to San Diego. Ben Schulz, Woodlands, with 12th place finish, takes other FL spot and will make it 11 Foot Locker finals appearances for Woodlands runners, most of any school in the nation.
From the west, Brandon Bethke, El Toro CA, with 2nd; and Robbie Barany, Eisenhower WA, in 3rd, capture two auto qualifiers. |
Girls
Because Blood and Davidson finish 1-2 for the Northeast Region, alternates Chantelle Dron and Brittany Sedberry are going to San Diego again!
With Ramsey Kavan 1st, Kaltenbach 4th and Sammons 5th, both Midwest alternates Rebekah Smeltzer MI and Molly Waterhouse MI will join them.

Bernard Lagat surprises Sandy Roberts
Sandy Roberts of Broughton HS, Raleigh, NC, (at right in the Foot Locker South regional Nov 27) was hoping to get a call from someone in Portland Saturday learning whether or not he had qualified for Foot Locker Nationals. He did not expect to receive it from Bernard Lagat. "I was blown away," Roberts said a few hours later. "He's one of the greatest runners of all time." story by Steve Underwood |
