It was a race without an obvious favorite and it played out that way, with Seton McAndrews running back to his form in the New York public schools championship 2 weeks ago (he was second in the New York Federation meet a week ago to Charles Millieon.).  Brian McGovern CT, highest ranking NE returnee from 1999, was a steady 2nd, only 1 second behind McAndrews. 

First 400 meters - Derek Storbeck NJ steps out quickest, but eventual 1-2 Seton McAndrews (1297 in middle of next row) and Brian McGovern (1327, on right) are on top of the chase pack.
