“After four years, winning this feels really good,” said Robert Finnerty when the mile was over. “After all the years of coming to this meet, it feels good to finally come out on top.” Finnerty (Burnsville, MN, HS) hammered around the final turn to pass Luke Puskedra (Ogden, UT) to finish in 4:05.25 for the mile title.
The crew-cut Finnerty, eleventh in this meet a year ago, dueled the taller Puskedra through most of the race. Finnerty took the field through the first lap in 61.5, and pushed the pace harder on backstretch. Puskedra took over on the third lap, passing in 61.7. On the backstretch it was Puskedra in the lead with Finnerty right on his heels. Heading into the straightaway, Puskedra couldn't match Finnerty's surge.
The Minnesotan's time was the year's fastest prep mile. Puskedra wound up second in 4:06.50. Another Gopher State runner, Jordan Carlson (Rosemount, MN) placed third in 4:07.51.
“This is the first time I’ve come in here with a chance to run in the fast heat,” said Finnerty. “I really came in feeling like I was one of the top guys here and that really made a difference. Last year I was just going for fast times, this year I was going for a championship.”

Girls

Cleveland Heights, Ohio senior Emily Infeld came in with the nation’s third best 2008 mile time – the 4:43.21 she ran at the Penn Relays – and with Californian Christine Babcock (owner of a 4:35.02 best) and fellow Ohioan Stephanie Morgan (the 2007 NON champion who’d run a 4:41.22) sitting this one out, the race was all hers.
Infeld broke away from the pack and was never troubled in a 4:47.43 romp. Grenvale, NY sophomore Emily Lipari continued to sparkle and delivered a 4:50.24 for the silver medal, tracked home by High Bridge, NJ junior Melanie Thompson (4:50.68) and Lawrenceville, Ga. freshman Amanda Winslow (4:51.13.)
As dominating as she was, Infeld’s 4:47.43 was the meet’s slowest winning mile in over five years.
FRESHMAN MILE – Northeasterners ruled – Laurelton, Queens, NYC’s Claudia Francis (5:02.79) besting Little Silver, NJ’s Molly McNamara (5:06.30) and Wilmington, Delaware’s Lindsey Olivere (5:08.98), with Connecticut and New York State delegates right behind the leaders.
