Ocean City NJ's Brittany Sedberry surprises herself by catching Detroit Cheetah on last turn

by Elliott Denman

It was New Jersey's turn in 2005, after previous editions of this event
went to Saratoga Springs, NY (2004), Rockford, Michigan (2000-01-02-03) and
Thomas Jefferson of Alexandria, Va. (1999.)

US Naval Academy-bound Allie Moreland, a senior, teamed with juniors Erin
Walsh, Renee Tomlin and Brittany Sedberry to bring home Ocean City, NJ in
12:12.22, in a tight duel with the Detroit Cheetahs (12:13.76.)

Sedberry's overpowering 4:58 anchor rallied Ocean City and decided all.

Midlothian, Va. (12:16.91) outdueled St. Basil Academy (12:17.78) for the third spot.
Roxbury, NJ - a strong performer in the Nike Team Nationals Cross Country
title meet in Oregon - snared fifth in 12:25.28.
Admitted coach Bill Moreland, father of Allie: "It was pretty exciting, I'd say that."

Going in, he was full of doubts.
"I don't think we could win that," he said. "We finished sixth last year at the outdoor meet and were just hoping to improve on that.
"If the first two were close, we knew with Renee Tomlin, who has run 2:10 (800) outdoors and Brittany
on the 1600 leg, we would be strong in the end.
"Renee certainly wasn't happy. She ran 2:19, but she's a swimmer. She
hasn't run all winter. So coming off swim season and running 2:19 is pretty impressive.
"Brittany we haven't raced lot this winter, but she has run 10:37 for the two-mile indoors.
"You could see Detroit coming back to them, but I wasn't ever sure that
they were going to catch us.

"Erin, also, she hadn't run run this winter. She didn't do our winter program. So, we were wondering if she and Renee would get through this. Obviously, they did a great job."
This is the first time we've ever won something like this."
Said Allie Moreland: "I don't think it's really sunk in. You think of that
and you say that, but when you hear 'Ocean City girls, national champions' it sounds real good. "

"I didn't even know we were closing on her (the Detroit anchor," said Sedberry.
"Then I saw her on the last turn and I was like ' Oh wait, I can get the first place girl; Oh my
God, we can win!'
"I didn't realize it until the last turn. Because you know, there's girls
you are lapping, that sounds mean, but you don't know which one is in first."
" Then I heard the guy on the PA system say it was. I
didn't know until that turn."
"That's the first time I've ever run an indoor mile this season. My best time outdoors is 4:55 so 4:58, that was good."
