ANyone else at the Indiana Intercolegiate race yesterday to see yet another runner take a wrong turn on her own course? A certain female runner for IU led the entire race (KEEP IN MIND ON HER HOME COURSE!) until the last turn for the final stretch, and rather than taking that final stretch, she loops back up for a totally different course and taking with her the lead pack. So, the results were definitely off just a little with the mid pack winning and the true lead pack finishing a little later. So basically, that meet was shot to shit. Way to go.

re: hoosier

Wow - you certainly need to know your own course - but I heard that due to tornadoes that touched down 10 miles from the course about 2 hours before the race that no officials were able to get to the meet - most of the roads were closed. So you figure that the 85 year old nobody whose sole purpose in life is to point as runners go by wasn't standing there. Indiana's hosted 4 NCAA champs on their course, so they know how to do it - but I heard it was a pretty messed up afternoon in south central Indiana with the tornadoes flipping semi's and destroying over 100 homes.

Still - you gotta know you own HOME course right?

re: ran it the right way

IU did a good job of getting the meet off considering the devastating tornado that came 'oh so close' to IU. But, the results are very screwed up do to the wrong turn. The whole race is a 'wash'.
