Brown Invitational

Pix Page: Girls Mile
Blood beats off all challengers

Dec 28-29, 2001 at Brown University, Providence RI - a DyeStat on-site meet

by John Dye

Splits: 1:11, 2:29, 3:50 and 5:03.25, all by Blood.

Nicole Blood, the 8th grade ascendant to leadership of the fabled Saratoga Springs NY distance program, grabbed the lead at the outset and then beat off a string of girls who took turns going for the lead. The action started in the sixth lap when Phillips Andover MA sr Melissa Donais, former Foot Locker Northeast regional cross country champion, made a move. She got to second, but no closer.

Then came Gloversville NY sr Megan Olds, who took the lead briefly on lap 7, but Blood responded and started the bell lap waiting for the next challenger. That would be Holy Names NY jr Elizabeth Maloy, who charged for the lead on the far turn and seemed poised to win. But Blood never let her get by. The two girls ran side-by-side all through a furious stretch run, with Blood getting the nod by 0.09 on the photo finish picture. The last lap of 34 seconds matched the first as fastest laps of the race.

With Molly Huddle playing basketball, Blood stands on top of Northeast milers this indoor season.
