    POST RACE INTERVIEW WITH DANIEL MERCADO

  • Womens 5000m - including post race interview
    It was mostly a show by the elite women, but it was Megan O'Reilly, 4th place finisher at the Foot Locker Champs and local star at Mt Spokane H.S., who stole the show with her new High School National Record time of 16:26. She smashes the old record by almost 20 seconds!!!

  • Mens Mile Invitational
    A large pack for most of the race, but Chris Estwanik of the Nike Farm Team pulls ahead off the last turn to give the crowd a sub-4 mile. In fact the top 6 runners all go under 4 minutes

  • Mens Mile Invitational - Section 2
    Just when you thought that one sub-4 mile was enough excitement, the college/open guys come right back with their answer........ANOTHER SUB-4!!!

  • Womens Mile Invitational
    Canadian and Commonwealth Games bound Courtney Babcock runs away from the field the last half of the race to run a 5-second personal best of 4:31 (World List #12)
