Narrative:

I was PNF; on takeoff roll at approximately 90 KTS. The captain and I noticed what looked like an animal crossing down the far end of the runway. By the time we realized it was a person; we were well into the high speed part of our takeoff roll. And by that time the person was not in our way and was off the runway. No evasive action was taken. Takeoff was normal.
