Lap
one of the highly-anticipated 1,500m final, the only
distance final on the first day of competition.
|
L-R:
Dan Wilson, Jason Lunn, Jason Long, Ryan Bak, Michael
Stember, Bryan Berryhill, Alan Webb, Charlie Gruber
and Ian Connor.
|
|
Gruber
(at right) was barely recognizable without his trademark
long curly hair.
|
Just
past the 300 mark it's still a tightly-bunched pack.
The unofficial split was 61 seconds.
|
Approaching
500 meters, Gruber leads, followed by Long, Stember
and Lunn.
|
The
field trails Gruber.
|
At
700 meters, Gruber continues to lead and it looks
like it will become a kicker's race.
|
|
Stember,
Lunn and Long continue to trail Gruber.
|
The
rest of the field.
|
Berryhill,
Webb and Connor at 700 meters.
|
Gruber
continues to lead approaching 900 meters.
|
With
just over two laps to go, it's still Gruber in the
lead.
|
|
Alan
Webb mentioned in a post-race interview that he got
boxed in, this may be what he was talking about.
|
With
two laps to go, Berryhill, Webb, Long, Bak and Connor
try to move into contention.
|
Webb
(a college sophomore) and Bak (a college senior) were
the two youngest competitors in the field.
|
With
a little more than one lap to go, Michael Stember
leads with his teammate Jason Lunn close behind.
|
Lunn,
the defending champion, was the top seed in the race
with a 3:55 mile coming in.
