Unusual race with no surges, no gaps - just one big pack of runners. After Michael Haddan led through a mile in 4:45, Mike Poe got a slight lead in the second mile and held it to the end. Tim Nelson needed a big 800 meter kick coming off Reservoir Hill to qualify, going from 12th to 4th. Oregon placed 3 runners in the finals for the first time.

After a first mile in 5:22 didn't shake anyone, Zoe Nelson surged on the Switchback hills and was never challenged again. Heidi Magill, last year's US#1 800 meter runner, closed for second in the last 800 meters. Ruth Graham shook off the California state meet (40th place) as a bad race and ran strong throughout.
