Jonathan
Anderson runs at the back of the pack in the first
mile.

The
field heads across the street to the back loop of
the course.
|
Not
a good photo, but demonstrates Galen Rupp's lead over
Shadrack Kiptoo heading to the mile mark.
|
Though
Rupp led through the mile and on the first trip up
the course's biggest hill, Shadrack Kiptoo...
|
...had
pulled even with him as they approached the halfway
point. Kiptoo had been nursing a knee injury...
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
...and
had spent much of the past month cross training.

Kiptoo
checks out his competition as they head up a slight

Behind
them, Matt Withrow of Illinois (in black) runs in
third place.
