Nurani
Sheikh, the surprise winner of the West Regional,
runs tucked in behind the leaders.
|
Just
before two miles (R-L) Leal, Ross, Solinsky, Billy
Nelson, Allen Bader and Peter Meindl are still in
it.
|
Jesse
Fayant leads Fleet Hower.
|
Matt
Keally of Virginia Beach, Virginia.

a junior, is one of seven potential returnees for
next year.

Jon
Pierce of Ogdensburg, New York.
|
Shaun

|
|
Ben

|
Bret
Schoolmeester leads Tony Truax and Scott Fuqua.
|
Fuqua
had struggled with a back injury earlier in the season
and it was obviously bothering him here.

|
With
less than 100 meters to go, Lockhart and Moore are
sprinting flat out, with Solinsky close behind.
|
Reminiscent
of Anita Siraki and Sara Bei's stretch run one year
earlier...
|
Moore
managed to pull away and win in 14:50.4.
|
Lockhart
finished second in 14:51.5.
|
It
was the closest finish ever in the boys race at the
Foot Locker Cross Country National Finals.
