The toughest course is Brandywine Creek State Park
in Wilmington, Delaware. Each year the Salliesianum Invitational
is held there. The times are always slow there because of the ultra
tough course. The course record is held by Sharif Karee in 15:54.
Alan Webb during his Junior year only ran 16:12 there. Peter Hess
this year who ran the 4th fastest time ever at Holmdel only managed
to run 16:42 at Brandywine Creek. Ben Stern, a footlocker qualifier
last year ran 17:02 there. It is by far one of the most difficult
courses on the east coast, if not one of the toughest in the nation.
