Weekend Action

Some rugged alumni showed their toughness at the USATF National Club Cross Country Championships. They turned in some nice performances but should be given credit just for lacing them up as the course apparently was to intense for Alberto Salazar and the Nike Oregon Project crew. Guess they never learned cross country is not about perfect conditions and setting personal best.

Both Kyle and Owen beat American record holder in the mile Alan Webb. That's certainly something to tell the grand kids someday.

The Blue/White Intersquad was yesterday as well and luckly there is a roof over the Horace Ashenfelt III Indoor Track (it snowed a lot in State College). If I had a vote for performance of the meet it would go to Za'von Watkins with a 2:58.12 victory in the 1200. (recap and results)

I will leave you with a photo from Bear Meadow Road taken this morning. I did not see any Nike Oregon Project runners out there.
