No Bucknell, no Pace Setter Elite, no Princeton Running Co, who plans on challenging the Atlanta Track Club for this prestigious title in 2002?

TEAM: "How did you get blisters there?" - I would be looking out for them. ( From the Nationwide website )
Don't you mean the "Marietta Marys" ?
I am not sure that I would install the Atlanta TC as the favorites. They are the highest placing team returning, but Team Allegra (aka Team Jersey) led once again by Joe McVeigh will be tough and they have the experience of taking wrong turns, so I doubt that will happen again. I think those 2 will duel. The Lactic Acid droppers may be tough as well.
After you guys all get done racing in Oregon this year, come to New Hampshire next year. Why as east coast teams do we need to fly across the country to run in a race that could care less about the Elite teams. Not that there is anything wrong with it, but the people at HTC are more concerned with the masses than who is winning.

Did not see Lactic Acid Droppers on the entry list, and I have not heard from Mike in months...they may not be going. Would be a shame, the LADS are fun fellas. I hope they just had a name change.
And I'd bet my course maps that besides the "Blister" fellas and ATC, there will be other teams in the mix. Most intriguing possibility: a team named "Rolling Thunder," which was the name of the super adidas teams with Williams, Katon, etc. etc. back in the day.
The LADS will not be there this year.....many of us are running marathons this fall and are focusing on those this year....we may return next year....good luck to all.....
