Race was delayed by several hours due to thunderstorm. It was raining during the race.
The NCAA xc champ at 10k showed he's got good wheels as he handed off in the lead on the 1200.
Heading into the anchor, Hoare got it in the co-lead and slammed on the brakes and as a result everyone else got back in the lead group by 800. It didn't matter, Hoare won with a 53.9 final 400.
I timed Hoare in 68.6, 65.5, 64.1, 53.9
