1.
Washington senior Dave Bazzi (8th, 29:53.26).
2. Notre Dame senior Ryan Shay made a bold move straight
to the front of the 10,000m. Keith Kelly, Murray Link and
Jon Riley were among those who followed him.
3. With competitors like NCAA XC Champion Keith Kelly
(r) in the race, a wire-to-wire win for Shay seemed improbable,
but apparently no one told Ryan Shay that. "The past
years it's gone out real slow, and turned into a 5-K race.
I'm a 10-K runner, and I decided to make it a 10-K race,"
said Shay.
4. Shay, Kelly, Oregon freshman Jason Hartmann and
Bazzi.
5. Hartmann leads Christopher Mutai and Bazzi.
6. Ed Torres of Colorado finished 13th in 30:12.26.
7. When Shay moved away from the pack (curiously enough,
he didn't pick up the pace, he just didn't slow down) Murray
Link was the only one who was able to stay with him.
8. Jon Riley had a disappointing race, finishing 10th
in 30:00.46.
9. Keith Kelly also had a disappointing race after
getting sick a few weeks earlier.
10. Mutai leads Dartmouth sophomore Tom McArdle, Arizona
State sophomore Fasil Bizuneh and Hartmann.
11. Shay managed to drop Link in the final mile and
cruised to a 20 second victory in 29:05.44. "I was really
surprised I wasn't challenged," he would later say.
12. Jason Hartmann's surprise 3rd place finish (29:28.97)
thrilled the Oregon crowd.
