Brendan
Rodgers gets ready for the 3,000m final.
|
Recent
Notre Dame graduate, Luke Watson.
|
Tom
Chorny, a new member of the Nike Farm Team.
|
Lyle
Weese joined Team USA Minnesota last fall after graduating
from Montana State.
|
L-R:
Chorny, Chris Estwanik, Rodgers, Tom Parlapiano...
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
...and
Bolota Asmerom at the start.
|
The
field ran a two-turn stagger before merging as they...
|
...approached
the 200 meter mark.
|
Asmerom
(right) took the lead early on, with Webb and Lincoln
right behind.
|
Asmerom
and Webb lead Estwanik and Lincoln.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Ryan
Woods runs in the pack.
|
R-L:
Asmerom, Estwanik, Webb, Lincoln, Chorny, and Parlapiano.
|
Webb
surprised many by choosing to run the 3,000m here,
but he had been looking good over long distances all
season.
|
Villanova's
Tom Parlapiano makes his way forward.
|
Parlapiano
takes over the lead.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
As
in many championship races, the pace was not...
|
...particularly
fast (relatively speaking, that is).
|
Chorny,
best known for his steeplechasing, runs in the pack.
|
Parlapiano
continues to lead.
|
Lincoln
had come within a second of Tim Broe's AR two weeks
earlier, when he ran 7:40.17.
