 Boys Footlocker NE Preview ... (updated Nov 27, 2002)
 

The table below lists some past performances for some of the top contenders for the top eight places in the Footlocker NE race (to be run Nov 30, 2002) ... the table separates runners by state ... Bottom-Line: This appears to be a very close competition amongst nearly two dozen evenly matched runners (evenly matched in terms of speed shown to date).   I am unable to derive speed ratings for many of the out-of state races because I do not have enough information (and I am not interested in spending the time to get the needed information) ... however, I have some speed ratings for most out-of-state runners that indicates their relative speed.

Out-of-State Runners ... Ahmed Haji (CT) is the Connecticut and New England champion ... Haji defeated Maine champion Benjamin True at the England Championship Race (Nov 9, 2002) which was run on soft, wet golf course in Portland, Maine ... Haji was in 30th position after the opening 400 meters, but moved to lead after a mile and a half and passed the two mile mark in about 9:50 on his way to a 14 second victory ... Benjamin True was second ... True was quoted in the Portland newspaper , "when I hit the second mile, my whole side cramped up ... I didn't think I was going to finish".  Ahmed Haji won a division of the Manhattan Invitational (which is one indication of his speed) ... from what I have seen, he has won all of his races comfortably ... Benjamin True was undefeated this season before racing Haji ... True had the fastest winning time at the Brown Invitational which included a number of runners from NY (which helps determine relative speed).

Pat Bailey (MD) is undefeated this season and has been running very fast ... he has beaten some top from outside Maryland (such as Ryan Blood from Pennsylvania) ... Pennsylvania has at least five contenders (maybe more) that include Jonathan Pastore, Ian Gottesfeld, Chris Spooner, Ian Fleming and Ryan Blood.

Massachusetts has at least four contenders - Sean Quigley has beaten Andrew Pitts twice this season ... the most recent was through a disqualification at the Mass All-State Meet (D2 division) ... according to the Boston Globe, Pitts (who was visibly tiring) moved into Quigley's path and blocked Quigley with a right forearm to the chest causing the disqualification.  Victor Gras had the fastest winning time at the Mass All-State meet, and is a solid contender ... Ian Marcus has also run well this season.

New Jersey will send at least four contenders including Peter Hess, Chris Platt, Keith Krieger and Christopher Pannone ... the New Jersey Meet of Champions (Nov 23) was won by sophomore Mohamed Khadraoui (JFK-Paterson) who is not entered to run Footlockers ... recent results suggest that Peter Hess and Keith Krieger are the top New Jersey contenders.

New York State Runners ... Brian Dalpiaz has decided not to run Footlockers this season (he will train for the upcoming indoor and outdoor track seasons) ... It's a shame because Brian would definitely be the NE favorite to win ... he is experienced and he has been running faster than anybody in the Northeast ... according to my figures, not only is Brian improving, he is running just as fast as last year (relative to all other runners) ... at worst, I thought he would finish in the top ten at Footlocker Finals in California ... perhaps track is more important, because passing up the opportunity to compete in the Footlocker National XC Championships in your final year of high school has to be difficult (literally, it's a once in a lifetime opportunity).

Even without Brian Dalpiaz, New York State has a strong group of contending runners ... Hakon DeVries is running very well, and is a definite choice to qualify for Nationals ... Brendan Fennell, Kevin Tschirhart, Mark Alizzi and Andrew Whitbeck (forgot to add him earlier) are solid contenders ... Josh McDougal has been running some very fast races, and is certainly capable of qualifying ... My own biases say Tully's Lopez Lomong and Dominick Luka have good chances of qualifying ... Lopez did not run his best at Federations, so I expect a faster race at NE qualifiers ... Dominick has run remarkably well in his first year of cross country, and is continually improving.

Race Prospects ... at least 20 runners have shown adequate speed and are capable of qualifying for Footlocker Finals (and I'm probably missing a few runners who are not listed below) ... on paper, no single runner "overlays" the field ... however, it appears that Hakon DeVries (NY), Ahmed Haji (CT) and Pat Bailey (MD) are slight favorites ... Josh McDougal (NY) has run some very fast races, so I believe he should also be considered one of favorites ... the next group of 10 to 12  runners are so closely matched (in terms of speed), it's impossible to choose four likely qualifiers (and some of these 10 to 12 guys could win).

The NE race will be a unique experience for most top runners ... for much of the season, they have been racing in front with little or no competition (some have raced against two or three close competitors, but that's all) ... This race could have a "pack" of ten or more runners racing in tight quarters ... and how the runners handle this running style could determine the qualifiers.  Race strategy is also important ... the object of this race is to finish in the top eight places (winning is great, but 8th place still gets a ticket to California).  I'll go out on a limb with a prediction ... I think both the Tully runners (Lopez Lomong and Dominick Luka) will qualify (but I'm biased and I'm hoping) ... I won't be surprised if any of 16 different runners qualify.

 Girls Footlocker NE Preview
 

The table below lists some past performances for some of the top contenders for the top eight places in the Footlocker NE race (to be run Nov 30, 2002) ... the table separates runners by state ... Speed ratings suggest that Ari Lambie (MA) and Nicole Blood (NY) are the top two runners ... Ari Lambie has run some very high ratings (above 160 ... near Molly Huddle's ratings for 4th place at Nationals last year) ... in track last year, Ari Lambie ran a mile race in 4:52.61 and an 800 meter race in 2:08.74 ... Nicole Blood is undefeated this season, and certainly looks capable of running faster than she has so far ... Nicole Blood is also a sub-5:00 miler ... This could be a very good race!

There appears to be ten very closely matched runners for the remaining six qualifying positions (in terms of speed shown to date, there is very little difference) ... this group includes Meghan Owen (CT), Caitlin McTague (NY), Sara Powell (MA), Laura Cummings (NY), Catherine Bryson (NH), Nicole Millette (RI), sisters Amanda & Katy Trotter (NJ), Elizabeth Maloy (NY) and Amanda Bodette (VT) ... this group of ten runners has speed ratings in the range 152 to 148 ... and just slightly behind (but within possible qualifying reach) are Toni-Lynn Salucci (NY), Jessica Flinn (NH), Lauren Centrowitz (MD), and Amber Sayer (MA).

The race for places 3 through 8 looks very competitive!
