Nick Gustin-6:15

    He throws crap for WHS track.  His brother runs and his family sponsors the race.  So he's going to run too.

Ryan Curtis-6:15

    Once a 7:57 miler, but became one of the biggest improvement stories in recent Wilmington history.

Jon Baker-7:15

    A man with more injuries than Mick Foley but still has the balls to be here

    A 15:19 5K runner and 4:25 miler, two-time defending DVI champion

Jason Gustin-4:40

    Part of the prestigious UMass-Lowell 4x800 team, with a personal record of 1:55 in the 800.  Champion of the inaugural DVI in 2002.

Brian Schell-4:45

    Finished third in the DVI three years in a row, making a comeback to track and field after a one-year hiatus

    His first mile since the 2003 DVI, where he finished fifth in 5:32.  Looking to break five minutes for the first time.

    Once aspired to be the "Next DV," currently described as one of his teammates as "fast as balls."

Also Special Guests:

Team Luke Warm, Colby College

Dan Moss, 4:45

John D. Waller, 4:45

    Team Luke Warm, hailing from Medfield and Lexington, constantly tried to enter the DVI, even considering getting a P.O. Box in Wilmington for Wilmington residence.  As a result of several no-shows, Team Luke Warm are the first and possibly last non-Wilmington residents to ever run the DVI.
