Not many runners leave early...I think he will be back to defend his title.
This is a huge stage!! To do what Liberty is doing is unheard of - Let's think about this:
2009 - Sam wins
2008 - Sam finishes second
2007 - McDougal wins
And Sam will be favored (this time) to win again in 2010. Could be 3 National Championships in 3 years!! Coach Tolsma - How do you top this?
Did you know? Sam beat McDougal in the 2006 race? Sam finished 16th and McDougal finished 27th. He ran for Fairleigh Dickinson at the time.
