Level Renner was at Club Nats and we got an exclusive interview w/ Alan Webb. It's worth a look.

BRC sponsors Moody, that's the club affiliation she'd run under if she ran this race. Didn't see either Kieffer or Pirtea among the entrants or finishers, maybe I missed them, what team(s) are they on?

Why crap on Pritz and not all the other hts athletes not running? Allie Kieffer, Adriana Pirtea, Tera moody (who is running a non prize money 8k this week instead) on top of athletes brad is coaching who are running for other teams (several on brc...Nicole feest for starters and some other women)? Mad that Molly Pritz runs faster than you or something?

These girls do NOT run for the same CLUB. A Club may not have more than one shoe sponsor and all athletes must wear the same uniform. Having the same coach and training in the same city does NOT constitute a club.

Uh, dude, it's effing December. "Track capability" has been irrelevant for months. It's xc, stop obsessing over times.

I know that, I'm just trying to relate it to general capability or impressiveness, not what they could do right now.

Why? It's effing irrelevant! Placing is all that's relevant, you're either ready to run well enough to beat the others or you aren't.

watch KRCC-tv.com at 8pm this week for USATF Club Nationals, it should be broadcast every night at 8pm. The broadcast will include the mens and womens open race as well as interviews

Fairly sure that team USA Minnesota has different sponsors for different athletes and Jeremy Criscione trains in Florida and not Michigan but ran for hansons brooks. Seems like you have an issue with Hudson athletes for no reason...and Tera moody would have been part of the Hudson group if they had a full team

Looks like Alan Webb wore flats in the race..

Nevermind, looks like they were modified and had a spike plate on the bottom, sorry.

Criscione ran under the Hansons club name but was not included in their score.

If Jeremy was included in the Hansons-Brooks score they would have had just 31 points.

Wow, Webb's looking a lot smaller than he used to, especially in the legs. Wonder if that means he's doing more mileage?

You are both needledicks, especially red glare. I just wanted to share that because it needs to be said.

A club can have more than one shoe sponsor (not that any would) and more relevantly, the athletes within a club can have different sponsors. The only uniform rule is that a team's jerseys must be nearly identical, but I can tell you that if two teammates had very similar jerseys that happened to be a different brand, they would not be penalized. Shorts, shoes, etc do not have to match.

Webb is looking leaner than I've seen him in the past. Good or Bad thing?

Well, Webb HAS been running 100 mile weeks....maybe that has something to do with it.

How do you view the open race photos? I went to the mike Scott website and can only find the masters race.

You are both correct. Much of this issue is a sponsor issue and can not be fixed over a simple "similar singlet" change. It is important to understand that Mizuno HTS and Asics HTS are not considered the same club. In order to be the same club you MUST have your sponsor drop their name from your club or must all be covered under the same sponsor like Asics Aggies or Hansons-Brooks.
