Girls - Defending regional champion Nicole Blood NY dominated defending national champion Aislinn Ryan NY. After one mile, Blood and Ryan led a pack of 20 girls within 9 seconds. Blood opened a gap in the hills, however, and finished looking comfortable and full of run, while Ryan appeared to labor down the stretch. Saratoga NY qualified four girls for nationals for the second straight year -- Blood and Caitlin Lane, who trained on their own, and Lindsey Ferguson and Hannah Davidson, who stayed with the US#1 team.
Boys - The Taye brothers - Sintayehu and Ayalew - who moved from Maine to a private school in Massachusetts this year, finished 1-2.

PA Preview - Even minus the sidelined Craig Miller, PA is sending strong group to Northeast -- several should qualify., says Don Rich
NJ Preview - Ed Grant tabs six New Jersey runners with high hopes for a trip to San Diego.

Craig Miller sidelined – Pennsylvania's best chance in years for a first-ever Foot Locker National Champion will not be racing in the Northeast Regional after suffering a collapsed lung during a workout on Saturday, November 12th at Van Cortlandt Park in New York City. More from Don Rich
