Boys Summary by Pete Cava

Ryan McDermott (Chaminade, Mineola, NY) and Miles Svoboda (Marietta, GA) opened up a slight lead on the field on the first lap, and on the second lap Phil Cawkwell (Bedford, NY) pulled ahead of Svoboda.
On the third lap, McDermott and Cawkwell began moving away from the rest of the crowd. At the bell, it was McDermott and Cawkwell with daylight between them, and Svoboda well back in third.
McDermott left no doubt about the outcome on the final lap, leaving Cawkwell behind and finishing in 5:52.63 – the year's fastest prep time and the No. 8 mark all-time.
“It's an amazing feeling,” said McDermott, “because I came in today a little nervous because this was my last chance to win a national championship. Plus, I lost my state meet last week because I was a little under the weather. It helped me focus more. I ate healthy this week, I got a slot of sleep, and I came here ready to compete. I wanted to come out hard and not get tripped up early. I knew the last 800 meters had to be mine. I had to dominate the last 800 to win.”
Third place went to Section 1 winner Kevin Schwab (Mustang, OK), whose time of 5:57.55 had taken over as the year's No. 1 prep time – at least until McDermott's heroics.

Girls Summary by Elliott Denman

Saratoga Springs junior Hannah Davidson, third-placer here last year in 6:58.79, wasn’t about to let this one escape. After duking it out with New York State rival/Suffern sophomore Sharon Greany much of the way, Davidson was simply too strong over the final lap and reached the line in 6:43.73, third best time in NON history.
Greany was right on her heels with a silver-medal 6:44.63 and Colts Neck, NJ senior Ashley Higginson, semi-weary after winning the two-mile in dramatic fashion Friday night, and running a 4xmile relay leg Saturday morning, snared third in 6:46.67.
Davidson and Greany reached the final bell in 5:23 , neck and neck.
“Here’s where your heart takes over,” said announcer Dave Mitchell. “Come on now, ladies, let’s see who wants it most. The National record, 6:35.63 (by Reno’s Marie Lawrence here last year), it’s within reach.”
Sorry folks, it didn’t turn out that way, but still had lots of quality running.
“It was exciting,” said Davidson. “We (she and Greany) kind of pushed each other the whole way. I’ve been on national championship teams before, on our 4xmile relay teams, but this is my first individual national title. I never thought I’d be an individual national champion.
“I still hold the national freshman record (6:48.64 in 2005) so now maybe I can go for the national senior record (it’s Saratoga predecessor Lindsay Ferguson’s 6:36.05 in 2006) next year.”
In some quarters, Higginson was favored to win and had logged a 6:50.39 in May, best qualifier of any NON 2007 entry. Third with a lap and a half to go, she seemed poised to make a move on the leaders, but couldn’t summon up the big lift needed.
“We all (she and her Colts Neck teammates) did great here (junior teammate Allison Linnell won the first of three sections in 7:15.08 with Ktisten O’Dowd sixth and Alliie Flott seventh) so this is a great way to the season. We’ve had a great year.
“Hannah and Shelby? They were terrific, they were awesome. There was no way to catch them.”
Morgantown, West Virginia senior Amber Riley took section two in 7:04.70, setting the stage for the main event.
