3. Powerhouse 3200m Field(s) In Michigan

- - - 

Grand Valley State's elite 3200m fields on Saturday in Allendale were something to behold. 

The girls field featured three Foot Locker Nationals All-Americans, while the boys field had seven All-Americans and qualifiers across Foot Locker Nationals and Nike Cross Nationals. 

The races also marked the indoor debuts of Katelynne Hart and Drew Bosley

Neither disappointed. 

Hart looked as if she's been competing all season and battled with every step with her fellow Foot Locker finishers Ericka Vanderlende (10th) and Abby Vanderkooi (3rd), but it was Hart's speed in the final moments that made the difference. 

The Glenbard West (IL) junior won in a new US No. 1 time of 10:02.46, while Vanderlende was second in 10:02.81 and Vanderkooi was third in 10:04.18. Zofia Dudek was US No. 4 in 10:07.03. 

Bosley, meanwhile, found a willing competitor in Ann Arbor Pioneer's Nick Foster, who was coming off a 4:07 performance best in the the 1600m the previous week in Ohio. Bosley himself was just a couple weeks off his first 8K at the USA Junior XC Championships in Florida. 

And while Bosley kept pace throughout -- and even started to kick with 300 meters to go -- it was Foster's race fitness that won in the final 200m with a final US No. 1 time of 8:57.56. 

Bosley didn't go home too disappointed. He dipped under 9-minutes for the third time in his career at 3200m, dropping a US No. 3 time of 8:59.95.
