For starters, you could take the top returning runners from last year's Foot Locker Northeast regional as presumptive favorites to qualify for this year's national finals. Here they are:
PLACE NAME GRADE CITY ST TIME

12 JUSTIN CORELLI 10 LATHAM NY 16:11

39 CLARKE FOLEY 11 SLINGERLANDS NY 16:29
41 TIMOTHY SCARPINATO 11 CROGHAN NY 16:30
But if you say what have you done for me lately, you might want to look to Mike Myers of NJ, Charles Millieon and Seton McAndrew of NY, Brian McGovern of CT, Mint Henk of VT, Neal Graves of MA, and Shawn Cavanaugh of PA -- all winners of their state meets in fine fashion.

Here are the top returning runners from last year's Foot Locker Northeast regional:
PLACE NAME GRADE CITY ST TIME

17 LISA STUBLIC 10 WATERBURY CT 18:53
19 EMILY BUZZELL 09 MIDDLETOWN MD 18:56
These are all worthy runners, but this list leaves out three of the hottest runners in the Northeast this year: Julia Pudlin of MA, Natasha Roetter of MA, and Erin Donohue of NJ. Pudlin started breaking PA course records from the start of this season and then went out of state to earn noteworthy honors in winning the Salesianum DE and Manhattan NY meets (the latter over Donohue with a surge in the last 30 meters) and finishing 3rd to the great Alicia Craig of Wyoming at the Great American. Pudlin has the fastest 5k time in the country this year at 17:14. Roetterrang up two of the top 10 5k times in the nation this year in winning the Brown Inv and the MA Coaches Inv. Donohue, one of the most versatile female athletes in the country (soccer, basketball, javelin, and 1999 national mile champion) dominated running-rich New Jersey this season and must be itching to make up for stretch collapses in the last two Foot Locker Northeast regionals.
Defending champion Melissa Donais MA will have her work cut out to repeat, but then again she wasn't expected to win last year either.
