2007 NCAA XC Contest Recap: We Have a Repeat Winner Yesterday we told you about the amazing story of the Maclay school PE class that dominated our $100,000 2007 Olympic Marathon Trials Prediction Contest, which was won by 8th grade soccer player, Lizzy Z, who picked the top 4 perfectly correctly. Today we're recapping our 2007 NCAA XC prediction contest and have an amazing feat of a different sort- a repeat winner in one of our of prediction contests. Team Prediction Winner Tim clearly knows his cross country as he also won the 2004 NCAA XC contest. Compared to the 8th grade neophyte that won our Marathon Trials contest, the fact that Tim won isn't all that surprising as Time is a diehard track and field/xc fan - he even writes a blog on trackshark.com. In looking at his blog, we're pleased to see that he has a little of the letsrun.com attitude as if you look at the blog now his headline says, "Still Got It" and links to the LetsRun.com XC Contest results. Well done Tim. Individual Prediction Contest Overall Winner Caleb's picks are so good we've decided to award him a RoadRunner Sports Gift Certificate as well. (To Save 10% at RoadRunner Click Here). Officially, the winner of the individual contest and the winner of the team contest were only supposed to get gift certificates. But because we at letsrun.com like to reward greatness and are kind souls we're giving Caleb a gift certificate as well. And after our story on the amazing Lizzy Z yesterday, we saw this thread on the dominance of women in our contests where Fou says she won our 2004 Olympic Trials Contest and did not get her gift. We were surprised but told her to email us and she did. Fou is Hilary Richards and she showed she did win the contest (but did not register with an email address). She said she did not need her prize, but we're in the holiday spirit and men of our word so of course we're sending her a RoadRunner Gift Certificate. as well. Lastly, we'll briefly give you a recap of the our 2007 World Champs contest which we never did a recap on. As you can see, we're trying to tidy up all of our past unfinished business. The contests are fun but recapping them adds to the enjoyment so from now own we pledge to recap them within a week of them finishing.
Winners (Including a Rocket Scientist) of Our World Champs Contest That We Never Did a Recap On: Thanks everyone. Remember it's not too late to get in our Footlockers Prediction Contest.
