The start on the old air strip

No separation after 300 meters

Half mile

just past the mile mark - 
J. J. Duke (725) has slight lead over Ryan Hall (1080)

Poop Out Hill - still a big lead pack in the second mile

Poop Out Hill - 2nd flight

The crowd at the finish line couldn't see the runners until the last 20 meters.  They heard announcer Tim O'Rourke call Ryan Hall in the lead on top of Reservoir Hill.  O'Rourke reminded everyone that Hall covered the last 800 meters in 2:02 in his Mt. SAC course record run 3 weeks ago.  So it was a huge shock to see the bright orange jersey of Flathead Kalispell MT's Seth Watkins appear in view.  Watkins and teammate David Vidal charged past Hall with 200 meters to go.

Chandler Goodwin (L), of US#1 Mountain View UT team,  
catches David Vidal for 2nd just two steps from the finish.  

Ryan Hall finishes 4th
