After finishing second in 2000, Tim Ross won the Michigan Lower Peninsula Division II State Meet in 2001, running the fastest time of the day with a 15:03. Tim Moore, who would go on to win the Foot Locker Midwest Regional, won the Division I race 15:11, but the two stars were unable to race head-to-head because they run in separate divisions. They will, however, be able to match up at the 2001 National Finals.

Ross finished 13th at the 2000 Foot Locker Midwest Regional before taking sixth this year.
