The Harvard University-bound Pollinger led most of the race to finish in 22:46.90 to claim the 2nd spot. “Most of the time I am a front runner, but today I let someone else take the lead after the 2,000m mark,” said Pollinger. “I expected his (Swehosky) laps to fall off. I was not able to hold on long enough to win.” A Team USA member from the 2003 Pan Am Junior Championships, Jennifer Reekie of the Race Walker’s Club, won the young women’s 5,000m race walk in 26:53.19.
