Erin Finn (MI), the 2011 NBNI 5000m champion, is typically cast as a distance runner, but the diminutive runner does boast a 4:47.08 clocking for the Mile set at the Grand Prix meet last year. This year she finished as the runner-up in the 5000 at NBNI and ran on the World Cross junior team in Poland.
Bernie Montoya (AZ) was the defending champion last year and boasts a personal best of 4:01.32, set while winning last year. Bernie recently ran a 3200m PR to finish as the runner-up at Arcadia in 8:47.07.
