An
editing error means we will not be posting more photos
of the men's 5,000 until Monday. Even when he wasn't
leading, Alistair Cragg...
|
...seemed
to be in complete control of the men's 5,000m race.
He threw in two major surges, and the second allowed
him to drop the...
|
...rest
of the field seemingly effortlessly. Cragg won his
third 5,000m title in a row in 13:39.63.

|
|
|
Ian
Dobson (13:40.91) and Richard Kiplagat (13:41.91)
went 2-3. The times don't reflect the degree to which
Cragg dominated the race.
|
The
DMR involved an all-star cast, and Wisconsin's super-frosh
Chris Solinsky took the lead early on in the 1,200m
leg.
|
Nate
Brannen took the lead when it counted, though, and
handed off first for Michigan, reportedly splitting
2:54.5.
|
Arkansas'
400m runner Terry Gatson made up some ground on Michigan,
but Michigan still held the lead at the 400-800 exchange.
|
Arkansas'
James Hatch ran a strong 800m leg, pulling away from
Michigan's Andrew Ellerton.
