Josh McDougal Comes Up Short in Attempt to Make NCAAs in 10,000m The IC4As/ECACs (Eastern Champs) are this weekend, and NCAA cross country champ Josh McDougal ran the 10,000m attempting to qualify for nationals (28:45 automatic) in the cold and rainy conditions in Princeton, NJ. McDougal started off fine, 4:36 for the first 1600 (28:45 pace), but then started slowing down the 2nd mile (9:18 at 4300 (29:03 pace but 4:42 for that 1600 which is 29:22 pace). Another lap at 72 seconds and McDougal called it quits. McDougal will have to concentrate on the 5,000m at nationals this year as this was the last weekend to post a 10,000m qualifier. Last year at IC4As, McDougal was the ultimate team player as he pulled off an amazing triple. First he won the 5k in 14:00.49, then 22 minutes and 57 seconds later he started the 10k (30:22), which he won as well. He followed that up by winning the 1500 on Sunday in 3:44.56.
