AAU National Championships in Tallahassee, FL (NO livestream!)

Chad Culver just reached out again and said that the AAU is working with Flotrack for coverage, but nothing has been finalized (and we're only a few days away now)... He said he'd reach back out to me if he hears of anything more.

In the meantime, who'll be there?!

I’ll be there. My son is running in the 8-9yr old 3k.

Good luck to him!

Are you going to be there for the early races? The 15-18 groups?

Dudek will beat Rauber by 20 seconds and Luaren Ping by 40 seconds and Grace Ping by 1 minute.

I just heard back from the Meet Director, Chad Culver. He said there will not be any live stream coverage of the events.

Anyone going to be in Tallahassee to get some footage of the 15-18 groups to share?

Otherwise, we're missing out on a huge opportunity here to see DUDEK in the mix with Rauber (and/or vice-versa), the Pings, etc.!

On the team side, look for an upset of the Ping's Ahwatukee team by Loomis Elite. Let's just say a little birdie told me that they have a pretty underrated and stacked club.

I'm pretty sure that ARP has permanent cameras installed; it shouldn't be too hard to record the race; the Florida state meets are streamed live every year.

Milesplit just posted via an article/video conference w/ the Desert Vista gals by Cory Mull:

"On Saturday, three runners from the program -- Lauren Ping, Katie Sigerud and Brooklyn Hanania -- will continue their seasons for one last race at the AAU National Cross Country Championships in Tallahassee, Florida, at Apalachee Regional Park. You can follow all AAU coverage here -- stay tuned for more information on how you can watch the race on MileSplit within the next few days."

Looks like there should be coverage!!!

(Although it looks like Grace may not be running now?)

I don't see any video coverage or even live results available.
