Boys 2-Mile-
Chris Solinsky (WI) 8:56.26 by John Dye It was the first race of the year for Stevens Point WI sr Chris Solinsky, last year's fastest 2-miler and Foot Locker cross country champion, and he didn't know what to expect. "I had a time trial of 9:07, and I knew that wouldn't cut it down here, especially with the fast times these guys were running," Solinsky said. He especially noticed Galen Rupp's 8:12.30 for 3000 meters a week ago. Solinsky broke on top and then settled in just behind Josh McDougal, whose 8:14.10 was the second fastest 3000 meter time of the season. Rupp was third, and several others lined up single file. It went that way for 10 laps before the racing began. On lap 11, Rupp surged, and Solinsky and Hassen went around McDougal with him. One lap later, Solinsky and Hassen moved together and it was down to these two. Hassen suddenly bid for the win on lap 15 with a quick move down the backstretch. The Florida runner opened up a solid lead as the bell rang for the last lap. But Solinsky countered on the backstretch and pulled away in the stretch. "I decided I just didn't want to lose," Solinsky said. "The time was a little slow, but it was my first race of the season, so I can't complain."
Solinsky got faster as the race went on, with negative splits of 4:31 and 4:25. Spurred by Hassen, Solinsky covered the last 400 meters in 60.8 and the last lap in 29.6.
