National 15k Results

1. Meb

2. Abdi

didn't get times

Deena ran 47:XX and set a world record, I think.

Marla was second

How about Culpeper, Rogers & Shay

I don't think Culpepper ran. Didn't catch the others. The webcast was pretty bad but better than nothing. Meb's time was 43:29.

Deena's time was 47:13. Not a world record. Elana Meyer still holds the WR at 46:57. Meb had a big lead over Abdi and Abdi had a big lead over a pack that looked like it included Rogers and Johnson along with 4-5 others. No names were mentioned besides Meb and Abdi and the picture was too blurry to really know who was in the pack.

Thanks,

Keep us posted with anything else

Keflezighi Wins, Meb Keflezighi crossed the finish line at 43:29 to win this his third-straight Gate River Run. Abdi Abdirahman ran shoulder-to-shoulder with Keflezighi for the first four miles, then started falling back and finished the race second at 43:59.

""For me, it would have been possible to get a record today, but with the wind, I was a little challenging and (I) didn't get it," Keflezighi said.

Perhaps the bigger story is top women's finisher -- Deena Drossin, finished at 47:13. Not only was this her fourth-straight River Run victory, but she bettered the U.S. 15K record by almost one minute.

"I didn't think I'd run this fast 'cause it was a little breezy out there, but I think it was just cool enough that I was able to stay hydrated out there and pull ahead," Drossin said.

Anyone have results to post?

1st Meb, 2nd Abdi, 3rd Johnson, 4th Rogers, 5th Davis, 7th Wells...........sorry no official times but I was told by Dave Davis (44:20's) that between 3rd - 7th was about six second apart.

eddy hellebuyck was 10th, not bad.

Now Eddy will move up on the all important Running Times Rankings list. I'm sure it will be easier for him to sleep at night now.

I think I can fill in a few more names:

Ryan Shay finished after Clint Wells and before Eddie. Following Eddie were Matt Thull, Chris Lundstrom, Keith Downing, somebody named Pete, Dennis Simonaitis, Jim Jurcevich, Mike Wisniewski. It is possible one or two others finished in that mix.

Yo, Does anyone know where that sick bastard Kyle Baker placed?

great run by drossin... 15:31 first 5k-- she really went for it...

God, Drossin's margin on her competitors was just huge ... Marla, De Reuck just WAY back. I don't recall what her long-term 2003 plans are, but whatever she tries should be better.

sub-30:50?

Worlds 10k medal?

More road ARs or WRs?

Benoit's AR?

Any/all are possible
