WHITE PLAINS — The timing, Ryan Sykes said, "was not ideal."

When the Horace Greeley junior stepped to the starting line of the boys 3,200 Friday during the 58th Loucks Games at White Plains High School, he was tired.

Earlier in the day, he'd taken not one but two college advanced placement exams. With history and macroeconomics behind him, he had eight laps in front of him and Sykes wasn't sure what to expect

"I told myself to try to do my best," he said.

Sykes did exactly that.

With 28 competing in the 3,200 he ran a two-second personal-best 8:51:52 to win.
