Nicole Blood goes out in style, while Michael Eaton represents for high school.

Nicole Blood of Saratoga Springs (now a California resident) holds off the field in the 200 meters, while Michael Eaton of Bowling Green, KY shows how his modest 13th finish at the recent Foot Locker Champs was just a bad day, as he slips in for the final 6th spot on the US Junior Team for the World Champs in April.

Prior Years

2005 - Jr Women 6k - U. Colorado freshman Liza Pasciuto wins with preps Erin Bedell TX, Jenny Barringer FL, and Lindsay Flacks CA, and HS 5000m record holder Caitlin Chock, now with the Oregon Project, also making the World Cross team.

Jr Men 8k - Flying down the hill U. of Oregon freshman Galen Rupp left no doubt that he would be the eventual winner. His fellow Oregonian, Stuart Eagon, meanwhile was hard at work in cementing his position, yet Rupp still increased his lead to around 45 meters. Rolling up the final hill Eagon opened up a large lead in second place but he still lost ground in the ‘race' for first. (photo by Brian Myers)

2004 - Jr Men 8k - John Janson wins by 10 seconds over Ryan Deak and Trent Hoerr. Jr Women 6k - Alison Costello crushes the field to win by almost 30 seconds over Kathleen Trotter and Amber Harper.
