Adam Perkins led his Liberty MO team to an absolutely dominating win
over a field loaded with the best from the midwest. Perkins moved away
from a crowded lead pack in the second mile, then simply held position
for the rest of the race, winning in a very comfortable looking 16:02
for the hilly 5k. Perkins was followed by fellow-show me stater Colten
Green of Macks Creek MO (16:24). Green moved away late from a pack
including Jason Simpson (Liberty MO 16:29), Colby Wissell (Kearney NE
16:32) and Alex Morris (Springfield Kickapoo 16:33), with another Lee's
Summit North MO Adam Scrogham in 6th (16:35), just ahead of another
Liberty runner (Aaron Martens 16:37). Wichita Heights Ryan Wilson was
the first Kansan finisher at 8th in 16;37.
Liberty piled all seven runners into the first 31 scorers to
overwhelm the multi-state field. Kearney NE (153) defeated Jenks OK
(161) for second with Blue Springs MO (161) close.
Times seemed to be slowed in the meet with tempetures in the 80's and
sunny skies, ideal conditions for the 6000+ crowd, but hampering runners
over the hilly course.

followed across the line by Jenks team mate Rachel Barber in second at
