Wow...one hell of a race to watch.
Beautiful day, Brett Schoolmeister set the pace early. Lead pack went through the 5k around 14:47. The pace slowed slightly to 72-74 second laps.
Two laps to go, Schoolmeister and the Chesang Brothers (Matthew from KSU, Benson from KU) make a break and run a 64 second lap. At this point it becomes a two man race between Matthew Chesang and Brett Schoolmeister.
Schoolmeister passes Chesang with 300 to go, but Chesang stays right on his heels. Over the final 100 m, Matthew Chesang powers away and wins by a second. He split 55 for the last 400 and 1:59 for the last 800. Winning time for Chesang was around 29:22 with Schoolmeister a second back. Benson Chesang finished 3rd about 4-5 seconds back from the first two.
Awesome.
