Looking for some help tracking down the results. The obvious link at
http://www.usatf.org/news/nationals.asp
doesn't work and neither does the search feature of usatf.org
More directly - I'm looking for full 5k results
Thanks in advance.

Those times are awful. How is there a 30 second gap in a 13:30 race?

Welcome to the '90s.

I know the 90s were a down time for US distance running, but wow, that really is bad...
A 13:30 winner means that all the guys back in the high 14:XXs were really running to the best of their abilities... There have been a slew of high schoolers that could beat those times running alone...
As a spectator at the meet - it was very hot. Race in the middle of the afternoon to accommodate TV. Williams and Kennedy traded laps for a while until Tod couldn't take his turn then he dropped out due to the heat. I was roasting just sitting in the stands, must have been unbearable on the track (temp there must have been well over 100).
Thanks drezfield and Pandaheadsfreakmeout.
Ask and ye might receive,
Thank you very much - can you list the site or source where you got the results as well? It would probably be good to have for future questions.
yep, love how quick some of the doofuses here are to jump the bandwagon, though anyone with half a brain would say "hey, wonder if there was some sort of weather issue with times that slow." face-palm on the "hs kids could do that" comment

There is an 18 second gap between 1st and 2nd. What 30 second gap are you referring to?
As someone who was in the race, the conditions were less than ideal for fast times.
After Bob, Todd and Alan separated themselves (top 3 made World's team) everyone just kind of have up and jogged,
Once Todd fell out, it was a mad dash for the final spot. I assure you the pace picked up.
Most of the "pros" were 1-2 yrs out of college, working part jobs time to support their running habits.
Ask and ye might receive - where'd you get those complete results?
It's worth emailing the USATF as there's an expired link on their website.

The 30 second gap shouldn't be that hard to find. Do you seriously need help with this?

Sorry, didn't see your message until now. I used archive.org to access the 1997 version of the USATF website.
Awesome, thanks! You learn something every day, this will be useful no doubt.
