I came across this as it was posted earlier today by Tim Budic - the guy that gets 2nd in the race. Great video of the 2003 NCAA DIII championship in the steeple, complete race: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nw9Daslc47I

I remember this race... great finish!
I was a freshman in college in 2003 and I remember getting very pumped up watching Easter from Bates and Miller (I think?) from Keene go at it at New Englands. Good stuff.
Remsen from Williams, most likely, not Miller from Keene. Miller may have dabbled in the SC and maybe that is what you saw, but Remsen and Easter went at it both junior and senior years. Easter was definitely better in '02 with his NCAA win and Remsen farther back as AA, but their senior years there were some epic battles. Maybe I'm forgetting which year, but I think there was a SC in the sleet up at Bates for NESCACs or Div III's that Remsen pounded from the gun and won. My memory is hazy. Easter got the best of everyone including Budic after the three runners went three abreast on the last water barrier at NCAAs in 03. Easter full-on hurdling the last barrier was always disgusting to watch.
'Easter got the best of everyone', very insightful! The winner usually does.
It was a great race, I wish Miller would have had a better day though, that would have been great to see one more stud thrown into the mix.
