2 Stanford runners into the NCAA 10,000 final:

Hicks (along with 4 others) took a fairly hard fall with about 1350 to go. Sprout was unscathed and Boyden was able to run wide to avoid the carnage. Charles was really scuffling in the final 800 and flopped to the ground at the finish. I'll assume the tough finish was because the fall rocked him. On the other hand, Sprout looked fantastic and glided in. The fall probably helped Boyden by reducing the pack from 17 to 13, but he didn't have enough and unfortunately was the 13th guy, dropping off in the last 600 or so.
