Galen Rupp 20th in Junior Men - Dathan Ritzenhein fades in men's long race - Lauren Fleshman's 11th is highest US finish of the meet
- Sunday
- Junior Men - Galen Rupp is 20th, first US finisher, as Kenya and Ethiopia continue to dominate the meet.
- Men's Long - Best Americans were 2003 Foot Locker champion Matt Withrow 38:41 60th, Ian Dobson 38:45 61st, and Dathan Ritzenhein 38:46 62nd. A day that began with such optimism for Ritzenhein quickly turned to defeat, far behind the African runners he was trying to contend with. After one lap at the horse track course, the former 2-time Foot Locker Cross Country champion was 22nd in a big pack only 1 second behind the leader. The next four laps went like this: 26th, 0:13 behind - 35th, 0:47 - 42nd, 1:30 - 55th, 2:32. Olympic 10k gold medalist Kenenisa Bekele took the lead from Eliud Kipchoge on lap 5 and went on to win for a double (he won the short race Saturday).
- Women's Short - Lauren Fleshman 13:44 11th is highest US finish of the meet, followed by Shalane Flanagan 14:05 20th and Shayne Culpepper 14:06 21st.
- Saturday - Kenya and Ethiopia dominate
- Junior Women - Best American is Lindsay Scherf, 18th in 22:12, followed by 18. Erin Bedell 22:32, 30. Lindsay Flacks 22:37, 42. Liza Pasciuto 22:58, 47. Jennifer Barringer 23:02, and Christina Fiduccia 24:42.
- Men's Short - Best American is Jorge Torres, 13th in 11:58.
