Rita Krantz CG 23:27 ======================================================== Portion of an article by TIM TROWER/Medford Mail Tribune with editing by Hale Bale staff ASHLAND — The tough Litha Park course — made even more challenging by rain-slickened surfaces that caused many runners to slip and fall made for an exciting race in this year's rendition of the State of Jefferson Invitational. In the girls competition, sophomore Ashley Gilkey of Hidden Valley breezed to the title on the 5,000m course, dashing the hopes of Pleasant Valley junior Hannah Hodgkinson to repeat as champion. Ashland senior Natalie Hemphill, who had placed second in this meet the three previous years, ended up third as illness and no training over the previous five days, proved to much to overcome. Nevertheless she did spark the Grizzlies to a one-point team victory over North Medford, 67 points to 68. Winning is becoming old hat, however, for Gilkey, who last week captured the Chieftain Invitational. On Saturday, her triumphant time was 19:25.05. Defending champion Hanna Hodgkinson of Pleasant Valley in Chico, Calif., was second in 19:31.25, followed by Hemphill in 19:56.07. Gilkey, whose goal was to finish in the top five and to just try and run with Hemphill, benefited from a different race approach. In the Chieftain, she went out so fast, she collapsed from over-exertion moments after finishing. "I always go out way, way too fast and just die," she said. "My goal this time was to run the first mile in six minutes and progress and get faster from there." She was in about 15th place after a mile but still had the leaders in her sights. Over the next mile, she caught and was running shoulder-to-shoulder with Hemphill and Hodgkinson. She then took off over the third and final mile. "It’s like the best thing I’ve ever done," Gilkey said of her negative-split tactic. "I felt awesome. That last little hill definitely took some oomph out of me and I started panting pretty hard. But I feel it’s the best race I’ve ever run, even though it wasn’t a PR or anything." Hemphill briefly tried to stay with Gilkey when the latter made her move, but she had nothing left. "It’s very disappointing," said Hemphill, who will be the favorite in the SOC district meet in two weeks. "Usually, I know how far I can push my body," she said, "and then I can go a little farther. But being sick, I was going my hardest the whole time, but my body wouldn’t go."
