 Girls Eastern States - Defending Foot Locker national champion Aislinn Ryan (left, photo by John Dye ) crushes the Girls Eastern States field in 14:04, third fastest girls time ever on Van Cortlandt Park's 2.5-mile course (13:57 Nicole Blood in 2004, Erin Keough 14:02 in 1986). Ryan finished 39 seconds in front of Saratoga's first two -- Hannah Davidson 14:43 and Lindsey Ferguson 14:46. Considering the driving rain conditions, it may have been the greatest girls performance ever at Van Cortlandt Park.
Before the race, there was speculation that US#1 NE#1 Saratoga, winner of this meet 5 straight years, might be vulnerable. The results proved this is true, but the mighty Toga squad prevailed over NE#2 Hilton NY 133-147, with six more teams scoring within 100 points (Suffern NY 193, Warwick Valley NY 205, Eleanor Roosevelt MD 205,, Colts Neck NJ 212, Bronxville NY 213, and Fayetteville-Manlius NY 232.). Saratoga's spread of 1:38 (2-3-26-48-54) was the widest in years and Hilton's fifth girl finished ahead of Saratoga's fourth, but Saratoga's top end duo was enough to carry the day for the defending champs. Hilton (4-17-38-41-47) was led by Amanda Griggs 14:47 in fourth place.

Foot Locker - NTN qualifying issue is up in the air
Last year, with the Nike Team Nationals and the Foot Locker West regional running on the same day, a procedure was worked out whereby the top two individuals at NTN from each Foot Locker region would qualify for the Foot Locker national finals the following week. This increased the Foot Locker fields from eight per region to 10. Whether this procedure will be in place again this year is unknown. DyeStat talked to both Foot Locker and Nike and confirmed that the issue is being discussed, but neither company would disclose the options that are on the table.
