Top boys junior
mile on tap for Reebok Boston Indoor
Games Since the Reebok Boston Indoor
Games began in 1996, more than 90 Olympic and World Championship
medalists have competed in the event, which has also played host to
five World Records and nine American Records. The Boys Junior Invitational
Mile, which began in 2005, has quickly become one of the most prestigious
events of its kind. In 2006, the boys mile produced the fastest 2006
indoor time in the country (4:07.30) and six of the top eight best times
for the season, while the 2007 mile yielded six of the top 10 times
in the nation. Fout (La Porte HS/La Porte IN), White
(Cherry Creek HS/Cherry Hills Village CO) and Fleet (University City
HS/San Diego CA) will be joined by 2007 Footlocker runner-up Christopher
Derrick (Neuqua Valley HS/Naperville IL), who is also the 2007 Nike
Team Nationals winner, as well as fourth- and fifth-place Footlocker
finishers Colby Lowe
(Carroll Senior HS/Southlake TX) and Luke Puskedra (Judge Memorial
HS/Ogden UT). Challenging them will be Cory
Leslie (Sandusky Perkins HS/Huron OH), the 2007 state champ at 5K
cross country, 1600m and the 4x800m relay; Christopher Brown
(Carroll Senior HS/Southlake TX), fifth at Nike Team Nationals in 2007;
Joseph Franklin (Amos P. Godby HS/Tallahassee FL), five-time state
champion at 800m and 1600m and 2006 runner-up at Nike Outdoor Nationals
800m; and Sintayehu Taye (Cushing Academy/Ashburnham MA), 2007
Nike Indoor Nationals mile runner-up.
