############ Official USATF Club XC Thread ############

I think RUNOHIO would have defended their title last year if Ann Alyanak made the trip but she didn’t run because here grandmother died four days before last year’s race and will not be running this year as she had a baby last month….They are a nice local team….

Good Luck!!

Wow...no one has bothered to make any predictions on which runner(s) will get tasered at the post race party then hauled off to jail like the guy from Atlanta two years ago!

Or better yet, who's tapping some new tail afterwards?!?

It is Kentucky, so my guess the main guys tapping some new tail will be the police guy with the taser.

Almost every team has a top runner that can't make it for whatever reason, or is not at the top of their game for whatever reason. Could-a, would-s, should-a doesn't count.

Whom besides Charles Davis lives in Omaha?

Charles Davis is washed up. The present and future of distance running in Omaha and Lincoln are the runners from Team Nebraska.

Phillip Reid of the Aggies is running great, look for his teammate Chris Mocko to surprise a lot of people. He's a great xc runner.

Not only is Phil running great, but every cougar within a 100 miles will be prowling around Phil looking for a new cub. He's a chick magnet.

Let's not get too far out of touch with reality here. Chas always brings it and has been someone for our TNB mates to chase for the last several years. I do believe if we were keeping score he would be up on us by at least a couple of wins. Big target on his back and he still comes up with a way to win. One of the nicer guys you could spend some time with as well, I'm wishing him all the best with his Creighton teams.

Will Lindgren

Pres. Team Nebraska Brooks

How do the top club teams stack up against the top NCAA D1 teams?

Good luck to all!!

most likely some sort of wildcat cub.

Who is Charles Davis and who is Will Lingren? Have I missed something?

The GENESSE VALLEY HARRIERS, WITH A BUS FULL OF 50 RUNNERS, WAS FORCED TO WAIT AT AN EXIT DUE TO A JACK KNIFED TRACTOR TRAILER AND THEN, AFTER WAITING 12 HOURS, WAS FORCED TO TURN AROUND AND HEAD HOME AROUND NEAR THE PENNSYLVANIA BORDER LAST NIGHT.

VERY DISAPPOINTING!

How is Serena Bulra not considered a favorite? 2nd American at 2009 World Half Marathon, 2nd at NYC Mini 10k, etc. I wonder why her teammate Delilah isn't running (I think she won 2 years ago).

And the Aggies have to be one of the favorites on the women's side. Between Linda Somer-Smith (recent 5k record), top steepler Kara June, and several former All-Americans, I'd say it's their race to lose.

What is the condition of the course today?

A) Firm/Hard

B) Soft/Mushy/Dry

C) Soft/Mushy/Wet

D) Slippery/Muddy

Thanks

Who the f* is josh simpson? Who the f* are Jankowski, Reyes, Reid and Lucas Meyer?

Where are all the good runners in this race? This race has dropped off completely the last few years. Some no name runner that no one will ever care about is going to win. This race needs to bring back the Nike runners.

Agree! The women Aggies can pull it off easily. Interesting to see how Jennifer Donovan and Serena Bulra handle the field.
