Highlights
Again, as many of the top seeds were put outside the first heats, it was hard to tell who had won the event until the dust settled.  At the end of the day, the top seed improved his own personal best, and Nick Velez gets to keep the title on Staten Island.



Mile


Highlights

A much tighter race than it was for the girls, and Ryan Rafferty (Jackson Memorial, NJ) had that extra edge to grab the title.


2-Mile


Highlights

 Gabe Altopp (Ridgefield, CT) was looking for a big mark before taking some time off, but the slower pace didn't find itself conducive to fast times.  Still, he unleashed a big move in the concluding laps to pull out the win.
