Didn't see the photo.
Did see the pre race interview where he completely dis'd the Cali & NXNSW boys for being over hyped because they run on flat, fast courses, unlike the NE guys.
....To note, it was CA, IN, CO, CA, CO,CO, TX, CA, MI, CO to summarize the top ten finishers.
Oosting @ 12th and Stanley @ 19th reflect the only presence of the NE in the top 20 and NY doesn't show up until 22 and 25.
Girls side id different obviously.
I do believe that at least the Cali guys were aware of Oostings interview and highly motivated by it.
