Race recap by DyeStatIL editor Bob Geiger

Solomon Haile, winner of the Nike Indoor Nationals boys 5,000, once again championed the event outdoors, but did so a bit differently.

"Coach and I discussed the race [indoor] and realized that I went out way too fast and paid the price for it," recounted Haile. "This [time] I settled in early and I was better for it."

Zachary Ornelas of Cedar Park, Texas, took the early lead in the race. According to Zach, "I took it out hard because I wanted it to be an honest effort."

Honest it was, as he went out in 67 and pulled Haile through the mile at 4:38. It appeared to be a two-man race when Ben DeJarnette put in a big move to put himself in contention at the 1700 mark. It was then that Haile moved into the lead and pulled the trio through the second mile with four 71-second splits in a row, crossing the 3200 in 9:25.

The third mile was all Haile, as he pulled away on lap number 9, splitting 69 along the way. DeJarnette went the opposite way, while Ornelas tried to keep chase.

After the race, DeJarnette noted, "I wanted to wait a bit longer [regarding his move at 1700], but I fell into the trap of feeling good after the mile and went for it. I paid the price for it, the last 1200 was horrible."

Haile on the other hand ran against himself for the last 1600, running gradually faster each of his last four laps to finish in 14:38.23, tying the meet record to the hundredth.

Ornelas hung on for second with a time of 14:56.42, while Kevin McDonnell came on strong in the end to finish 3rd (15:01.01). DeJarnette faded to 11th, but the junior plans to make another attempt at it next year.

Brasovan barrels to #6 all-time 16:18.91 in girls 5k

Race recap by DyeStatIL editor Tony Jones

The opening of the 2008 Nike Outdoor Nationals got off and running under very pleasant conditions at Irwin Belk Track on the campus of North Carolina A &T. The sparse and hearty crowd got their money's worth with two exciting girls races.

Heat 1

Jessica Butler (Coral Springs, FL) 18:03.62 [1k-3:27, 5:36.4-1600]

Butler won her section the hard way. She took over laps 5 through 8 but lost the lead to Erin LaFave MI. LaFave appeared to have the race wrapped up as she opened up a five second lead. But on the closing lap Butler got the courage to chase down LaFave and actually put distance on her and won going away. LaFave (right, photo by Vic Sailer) broke the world junior deaf record with her runner-up 18:09.32 and will run in the world deaf championships in Turkey later this year..

Heat 2

Ashley Brasovan (Wellington FL) 16:18.91MR/ #6 all-time [78.3, 2:34.3, 3:51.1, 5:08.9, 6:27.4, 7:46.5, 9:05.8, 10:25.0, 11:44.4, 13:04.0, 14:23.0, 15:40.8].

The second heat was a seasonal coming out party of sorts for the reigning Footlocker Cross Country champion, whose outdoor campaign was mostly low-key. Brasovan, hurt for much of the outdoor season, put a hurting on the solid field that featured Chelsea Ley (NSIC 5k champ). Brasovan totally ran away with a personal best and meet record-- just missing the junior class record owned by the legendary Erin Keough (16:14.69- herself a former FL champion).

Brasovan was briefly fronted during the first 300m of the race, but she took over the chore of leading at 400m. Brasovan bolted off in full flight just after the 1200 and it was over. After a swift 1600 and 2k there was no doubt the meet record was going to fall, but it was a question of whether the class record would go as well. Race announcer Ian Brooks pleaded with the crowd to assist Brasovan’s quest. She continued her assault through a very fast 3200 (10:25). Eventual second placer Ley was a respectable but very distant (10:54). Ley ran a strong 17:12.08, but it was just Brasovan’s night.

Brasovan indicated afterwards that her goal was to run even splits and not take it out too hard. She consistently clocked 78’s and 79’s when she got into her rhythm: “I felt pretty good… this [effort] came with lots of cross-training.”

She indicated she may run the 2 mile for “fun tomorrow...it depends how I feel when I wake up."
