The redshirt senior won the event with a time of 29:01.54 as he earned his eighth all-American honor. "I thought some guys might separate earlier, but the slow race is what I've done all year," said Scott. "Sit and sit for as long as I can and then really go after it for the last 400-600m. It was spot on for me." Scott's late push to take a lead that he never surrendered allowed him to become the second Tulsa national champion in program history (Chris O'Hare, Indoor Mile) and the first in an outdoor event.[/I] [/QUOTE]
