.The PA guys' 3000 is shaping up to be one of
the best in years, as more runners are under 9:00 at this stage
of indoor than usual. The standard was raised substantially
by East Pennsboro junior Ryan Blood, who held his pace in check
until the final 400, when he sailed past Henderson soph sensation
Ian Gottesfeld to post a US#3 8:48.25. Gottesfeld was seven
seconds back, while Liberty's Dorian McDonald was another two
seconds behind. |
In the 400, four guys went under 50 seconds, led by
Tennent's Troy Roberson in 48.87, US#7, who made up a seven meter
gap on

Upper
Dublin's Nehemiah Leary, who took the Long Jump in a leap of 23-04.50,
a
new US#4. Chichester's Jesse Patterson went 22-06, Norristown's
Anthony
