On a wet and rainy Sunday morning in San Francisco's Golden Gate Park, Tom Kloos of the Bay Area Track Club placed 2nd overall in the Pacific Association Cross Country Championships, covering the hilly 6.09 mile race in 30:31.

Kloos, competing for Adidas Transports, placed 2nd in last year's PA Championship and aimed to better that at this year's event. However, after getting out to a big, early lead, Kloos was eventually caught and overtaken by Phil Reid of the ASICS Aggies.

Alysia Johnson and Shannon Rowbury were spotted on the course cheering on the runners, as were David Torrence and Bolota Asmerom.
