So few posting about this great meet. After predicting slow times for the distances after last year, the men's 5k and 10k were the deepest in history. 30:09 to make AA, with Easker and Crain closing in sub-60.
The 5k started at a jog but everyone was really tearing it up in the last kilometer, sub-2:40 by a bunch of guys. Crain needed a 4:18 last 1600m to secure the win.
After blowing up in the 10k Bill Jones came back with a solid second in the 5k despite losing a shoe 2k into the race.
To me the most dramatic races were the men's steeple and the women's 1500. LeDuc and Davies battled all the way to the tape, with LeDuc just out leaning FTW after falling on the last hurdle. The finish line scene looked like a triage zone with guys laid out all over the track. And the women's 1500m rewrote the all time list -- 4:28 to make AA.
Great meet at a great venue in a charming town. One to remember.
