Past
7k, the main pack closes in on some of the stragglers
out front.
|
Grant
Robison, Don Sage and Ian Dobson lead the way.
|
Also
in there are Matt Tegenkamp, Louis Luchini, Gavin
Thompson, Mark Tucker and Richard Kiplagat.
|
This
group passed through 8k in 23:49 -- 31 seconds behind
the leaders (Cragg and Torres) but not far behind
Lincoln, McArdle, Cheboiywo and Kimani.

Ed

follows.

Villanova
senior Adrian Blincoe.

BYU
sophmore Kip Kangogo was considered to be one of the
top contenders here after having a great season...
|
...But
an injury at the regional race weakened him and he
struggled here.
|

|
|
|
|
|
|
Between
8k and 9k it was down to a two-man race...
|
...between
Arkansas' Alistair Cragg and Colorado's Jorge Torres.
|
Torres
had finished second a year ago and Cragg third.
|
Cragg
was unable to beat this man, David Kimani, all season,
but he finally broke Kimani here.
|
Kimani
won this race in 1999, as a freshman, but was out
of contention here as soon as he dropped off the lead
group.
