Between
2-1/2 and 3 miles, no major developments had occured
in the...
|
...individual
race. Up front, L-R: Gavin Thompson, Richard Kiplagat...
|
...Ian
Dobson, Adam Tenforde, Ryan Hall, Westly Keating and
Antony Ford.
|
Stanford
looked unbeatable in the team race (to state the obvious).
|
A
bunch of runners - Dathan Ritzenhein, Don Sage, Henrik
Ahnstrom, Simon Bairu and others...
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
...conserved
a little energy by running in the second row on this
windy day.
|
Stanford's
top six runners all remained in the lead pack...
|
...and
the team race would be for second place.
|
#39
Kip Kangogo of BYU, one of the individual contenders,
is visible in the pack.
|
L-R:
Tenforde, Keating, Sage, Ahnstrom, Ford, Alistair
Cragg and Bairu.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The
lead pack still included nearly 20 runners at this
point.
|
As
#268 Alistair Cragg said before the race, there were
about 20 guys who thought they could finish in the
top five.
|
Columbia's
Steve Sundell begins to drop back from the lead pack.
|
Billy
Nelson of Colorado runs close behind the lead pack.
|
Iona's
