Preview

Girls favorite is Shalane Flanagan, Marblehead MA sr, who has the only sub-5 minute mile this season in the nation.� She will be joined by Easterners who hold the next four places on the US leader list: Pilar Marin, St. Anthony's NY;� Danielle Jelley, Clarke NY; Marian Bihrle, Belmont MA; and Allison Hofmann, Rocky Point, NY.� A western challenge comes two veteran national competitors: Sara Gorton, Phoenix AZ (US#1 1999 outdoor at 3000 meters, 9:33.98) and Michelle Dela Vina, Valparaiso IN.� Rounding out the field are two New Yorkers with fine credentials as well:� Jen Donovan,� Half Hollow Hills, and Jillian Mastroianni, Sayville.�

The boys race will see a more balanced national representation with no clear favorite, unless it is Tristan Colangelo, Gloucester MA sr, who leads the nation this indoor season with a sparkling 4:11.82 time at the Dartmouth Relays.� Second in that race and second in the US is Jason Jabaut, Seton Catholic NY, 4:13.16.� The rest of the Northeastern delegation is Brian McGovern CT, Justin Romaniuk NY, and Walton Kingsbery NJ.� They will be severely challenged by such national stars as David Vidal, Kalispell MT jr, (recent winner of the San Diego Games in 4:14.67, a substitute for Alan Webb of Virginia, who withdrew); Ricky Brookshire, Boone NC sr (a 4:11 miler outdoors last year and second in the Great American Cross Country Festival this year);� Brian Turner, Omaha NE sr (a 4:09 miler as a sophomore 2 years ago); and Mason Ward, Cincinnati OH sr (defending Ohio champion at 4:12).

In addition, there are a bunch of 4x400 relays for teams in the New York metropolitan area, and Samantha Shepard, Weston MA soph, will join the women again in the pole vault.�� Samantha shocked the world two years ago when she went 12 feet as an eighth grader in women's competition at the Millrose Games.�
