The
congestion in the 27-runner final was evident, with
many of...
|
...the
runners coming into contact here.
|
Dathan
Ritzenhein took the lead early on and tried to set
a fast pace.
|
NC
State freshman Bobby Mack runs in the pack.
|
Northern
Iowa's Velibor Radojevic tries to catch up after falling
on the second lap.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The
field strings out behind Ritzenhein.
|
As
Ritzenhein picks up the pace, Robert Cheseret and
Louis Luchini are the first to follow.
|
#1167
Steven Kocsis and #1065 Eric Logsdon run in the pack.
|
Cheseret
finished second in Thursday's 10,000m final after
being outkicked by Alistair Cragg.
|
In
this race, Cheseret was expected to be the stronger
kicker, so Ritzenhein set a tough pace in an attempt
to get away early.

significantly.

in second place.
|
Kansas
sophomore Benson Chesang.
|

|
|
|
|
Ritzenhein
continues to set the pace and Cheseret continues to
follow.

went through 1K in 2:50.6 and 2K in 5:36.8 (a 2:46.2).
|

runs in second...
|
...and
