By Jaime Aron · Monday, Nov. 20,2006 12:24 a.m.

The bottom of the pile is now at the top of the pack. In his first-ever Great Lakes Regional Championships, freshman Jordan Kyle finished unscathed from a race that claimed the rest of his team.

"(IU) coach (Robert) Chapman has done an excellent job of peaking me for the end of the year, and I have never felt stronger than I do now," Kyle said.
