Conditions were low to mid 40's with light rain to no rain.

Times are from memory, but they should be pretty close.

Women's Open

1. Kristy Johnston (OR)	33:23
2. Gwyn Coogan (CO)	33:46
3. (East European?)	34:36

Francie L-Smith was 5th or 6th, kinda slow, over 35:00 (she was low
33s last year tuning up for the Oly Trials).  Margaret Groos was about
8th.  The depth was terrible this year, 2:20 separating 1st to 10th.


Men's Open

 1. Ashley Johnson (TN)		29:01
 2. Peter Sherry (DC)		29:02
 3. Risto Ulmala (Fin)		29:04
 4. Mark Coogan (CO)		29:09
 5. John Treacy (Ire)		29:16
 6. Bob Henes (NC)		29:17
 7. Paul Aufdemberge (MI)	29:17
 8. Terry Croyle (WV)		29:19
 9. Steve Kartalia (NC?)	29:19
10. Scott Dvorak (NC)		29:21

Apparently it came down to the very end.  The finish is inside the
convention center, so you make a sharp (90) right with only 30-40
yards to the finish, there were elbows flying between Johnson and
Sherry and a protest was filed against Ashley Johnson (now a U.S.
citizen), upheld, then his appeal which was upheld and overturned the
protest, so the results stood.

Another interesting piece of news, Steve Spence is now running for
Nike.  He was at the race since his wife was running, he didn't run.
