3:51.1-5:12.6. Runing gamely through 83.4-84.1 and 83.4 laps, she
closed in 81.5 as Sarah Ellett cruised some 40-50 meters back. The
Ziegle sisters should lead one of the nation's top cross-country teams

--Great race, Rohatinsky leading every step of the way (could have used
some help!). Anyway 69.2-2:18.1-3:29.0-4:38.7. Josh has developed the
ability to gradually accelerate over the last half of his races,
something he utilized here. Reyes was the only one who could travel
along with him as they accelerated through 68.8-69.1 and 66.9 laps 5-6
and 7. They were within three meters with a lap to go with Josh really
digging in. The Utah junior had to cover the final 400 in 61.8 to keep
ahead of his fellow eleventh grade rival. These athletes along with
Caliornian Josh Spiker and his 8:56 conqueror yesterday evening (Augie
Escobar) should make the West tough to beat in the Foot Locker National

General Notes:
--One of the funnest meets of the year, with athletes from most of the
states split up into three or more divisions for state. Many dominate
locally all year long with this their first big introduction to the
""""big-time.""""
--Best unknown talent--Provo HS's Kassie Anderson who led off Utah's
Meet Record setting 4x800 relay team with a 2:13.5 PR, then took the
Open race that barely bested her seasonal open time with a 2:13.86.
--Expect some big things down the road--Nicole Ireland. The Mohave HS
from North Las Vegas star was a good short hurdles winner, was very
competitive in the very next 100 meter event, raced in the 4x100 relay
in the middle of the meet here, then placed second in the 200 meter
run. Future Olympian in 400 meter hurdles.
--Toughest performer - Josh Rohatinsky. After some early season
sickness Josh led almost every single step of the 3200 in his lifetime
best 9:05.18 run, blasting a 61 second final 400 to set himself up
nicely for a run at 9:00 against a super Golden West Invitational field
in two weeks.
--Derek Poynter (Valley, Albuquerque, NM) (HJ) will join the U.S.
National team for the first ever IAAF sponsored World """"Youth""""
Championships this summer. This competition will be a World
Championship level meet held in Poland for athletes who will not turn
18 during the current year 1999. Poynter, a 6-10 leaper, was selected
off his performance in last year's National Junior Olympic
Championships.
