At Arcadia in April, Chris Solinsky dominated the deepest
3200 meter race in many years. Solinsky's 8:48.44 led six runners under
9 minutes, and the next seven runners were under 9:10. Six of the top
seven 2-mile times of the year came from this race (DyeStat Elite rankings
adjust 3200-meter times to 2 miles by adding 3.8 seconds.). Solinsky took
control late with 65.7 and 61.7 second closing laps. Husky for a distance
runner, Solinsky spent his summer lifting 100-pound bags of fertilizer
at his job and running 100 miles a week on the side in preparation for
what could be a stellar senior year. He was third at the 2001 Foot Locker
national finals, so he is the highest finisher returning for 2002.
