"What They Said...!"
Brandon Bethke, Boys Individual
Sweepstakes winner in 14:30: "I just
want to thank God for the strength that last 400. I just was going to
run today how I felt. At the mile I think I was fourth, and at the two
mile it was me and Mark (Matusak). I took the lead with 250 meters to
go. It was awesome to be just off of the course record! I didn't think
that I was running that fast. When I saw the time my legs just sank!"”
Fitsum Tesfa, Boys Team
Sweepstakes winner in 14:43: "I relaxed
until I was coming down the switchback. My goal coming in was just to
relax during the race. I was 4:43 at the mile, but I wanted to actually
go slower than that. I definitely approached this race different than
last year here, where I went out too hard."
Alyssa Craft, Girls Team
Sweepstakes winner in 17:41: "I think
I won it at the line. I really did not have a set strategy at the start,
I kind of just run my own race. The fast start that I usually have just
happens. I think I feel more confident when I get out fast. I wanted
to break 18:00 and think the first mile was 5:15 which is a record for
me."
Marie
Lawrence, Girls Individual Sweepstakes winner in 16:48: "I
felt I was going pretty fast the first mile. I talked to my teammates
about the switchbacks and they said to not push the first part hard,
but try to shoot up the last part. I tried to just sprint down the hills
and work up the last two big hills on the course. I want to win Footlocker
this year as a goal."”

it's great! "
