Among those just outside the top 10 was a trio of freshmen, as Brian Hill placed 11th in the mile, Brian Reis finished 12th in the 1000 meters, and John McVey was 12th in the pole vault.

While a police posse is chasing Bourne, he's hopscotching across rooftops, wrapping a sheet around his hand to vault over a wall with shards of glass on it, and somehow keeping track of the elusive Nicky in a big, unfamiliar city. Maybe our super-spy's brain, earlier rewired by The Company, has been accessorized with a Google Earth chip implant...
