Chris
Mulvaney kicked by Ryan Hayden on the last lap to
secure the repeat win for Arkansas.
|

winning time was 9:34.76 with Michigan second in 9:35.80
and Villanova third (9:35.95).
|
The
meet marked the unveiling of the new USATF mascot,
Spike. Here Spike sits down to watch the 800.
|
L-R:
Bryan Woodward, Neil Speaight and Elliott Blount at
the start of the 800.
|
Otukile
Lekote of Botswana and South Carolina moved to the
lead immediately, with a 24-second opening 200m.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The
rest of the field trailed significantly.
|
Derrick
Peterson and Trinity Gray lead the chase pack.
|
Lubert
Lewis runs in the pack.
|
Lekote
frequently, if not always, employs this go-hard-from-the-gun
strategy and it frequently works.
|
The
question would be if Gray (left) or Daniel Caulfield,
or anyone else, would be able to catch Lekote in time.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
With
one lap to go, Lekote's lead was still sizeable but
he was looking more vulnerable.
|
It
was Derrick Peterson who came the closest to catching
Lekote...
|
...but
Lekote held him off - barely - 1:48.07 to 1:48.10.
Caulfield finished third in 1:48.62.
|
L-R:
Jason Lunn, Michael Stember and Berhanu Alemu at the
start of the mile.
|
James
Karanu was the designated pacesetter.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Karanu
leads, Bernard Lagat, David Krummenacker and the rest
of the field follows.
|
Karanu
led the field through 800 meters in 1:57.
|
Jason
Lunn runs in the pack.
|
Laban
Rotich, Krummenacker and Abdelkader Hachlaf follow
Lagat.
