championship Monday

went to the NCAA meet today, hopefully some of you made it out, WOW, what a GREAT meet! ISU is so lucky to be able to host this meet year after year, I bet there were 8000+ people out there running all over the course yelling like crazy!

Oregon's men and Washington's women dominated and won the meet. The men's race was the BEST race ever seen in TH w/ Rupp and the Liberty Kenyan stride for stride until about 300 meters to go when Rupp bolted into the lead and won by :05

Indiana State's Scott Keeney was 196 overall. Jeff Schirmer from Southern Illinois was 25th overall, unbelievable race for that kid.

Make plans to come to the meet in 2009 as ISU hosts it again.

economic impact of cross country in TH

The sport of cross country, even though a minor sport in the eyes of many, has had a huge economic impact on the TH community. Great article in the Trib Star about this:
