Recall the Triangle Angle Bisector Theorem.
Craig, see solution.
An angle bisector in a triangle separates the opposite side into two segments that are proportional to the lengths of the other two sides. Since we are given that the distance between Trevor and Ricardo is an angle bisector, the distances from Ricardo to Craig and Eli are proportional to the distances from Trevor to Craig and Eli.
If Craig is closer to Trevor than Eli, then he will also be closer to Ricardo than Eli. This means that Craig will reach Ricardo first.
