4 MVC runners (2 men, 2 women) will be running at the NCAA Cross Country championship meet in Terre Haute on Monday, if you're near TH and can take the meet in it truly is a spectacular event.
Indiana State's Scott Keeney is running, it is his first NCAA championship race, he is a junior at ISU.
It's also being broadcast live on CBS College Sports TV and live on the internet, link at www.letsrun.com or at ncaa.com
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.
this link is from the start of the men's race, but go to the left, and under the heading "videos in folder" is the link for all the segments from the broadcast that was on TV
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:
