With
four laps to go in the 5,000m final, Bolota Asmerom...
|
...and
Mark Menefee lead the way. Unfortunately, by...
|
...this
point, the pace had lagged too much and it was unlikely...
|
...that
anyone would run under the "A" standard
of 13:21.50.
|
Luke
Watson was not at the top of his game here and he
finished 14th in 13:53.49.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Brendan
Rodgers trails the pack.
|
R-L:
Mark Menefee, Bolota Asmerom, and Tim Broe run up
front with three laps to go.
|
Menefee,
a surprise up front, is a 2003 graduate of the University
of Kansas.
|
Jon
Riley and Chad Johnson hang with the lead pack.
|
Eric
Savoth and Louis Luchini drop back slightly.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Louie
Luchini wound up finishing 12th in 13:50.64.
|
Luke
Watson works hard with three laps to go.
|
Stanford
graduate Seth Hejny.
|
Brendan
Rodgers finished 16th in 14:24.06.
|
With
two laps to go, Tim Broe and Bolota Asmerom lead Jon
Riley and Matt Lane.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Asmerom,
Broe, and Riley were all known as strong kickers...
|
...so
the last two laps would be interesting.
|
R-L:
Asmerom, Broe, Lane, Riley, and Menefee.
|
With
one lap to go, Tim Broe leads Bolota Asmerom.
|
Asmerom
represented his native Eritrea at the 2000 Olympics
in this event. He has dual citizenship.
