The women's team was led by Katie Anderson with a time of 18:35.00 and Anna Christian two seconds behind in the 5K course. "The women's field was very tough here so a fifth place fin ish is not bad," Corfeld said. We ran another good team race and that has something we have really worked on.

Dean stated that Bush's recent tax break is a major reason that the country is dealing with problems. "Tuition has been raised," Dean said, "property taxes have been raised. We've lost fire, police and first response units. "That wasn't a tax cut, that was a service cut," Dean said. He added that the middle class never got a tax cut and that Bush's budget plan only helped the upper class. Dean also touched on the local issue of the Tyson strik ers, giving his support to the workers and thanking the peo ple who made food and money donations to the families of the protesting workers. He spoke on the United States' job situation, calling the current high per centage of unemployment "an attack on the middle class." "We need jobs, Mr. President," Dean said. "We need to balance America. We need to support small businesses because they offer more and better jobs than any other organizations in this country. Small businesses do not move to other states or to oth er countries." Another issue that Dean spoke on was the war in Iraq.
