Some updates and goings on:
Chris Tegtmeier (of Fairbury, NE and Concordia University) has joined the Good Mates! Chris is one of the best Race Walkers in the entire country with a U.S. Olympic Trials 20K qualifier already under his belt. He will compete in Eugene at next month’s USA Outdoor National Championships.
Chris will join Aubrey Baxter and Jared Shuurmans representing TNB (both throwing the hammer) on the biggest domestic stage.
Michaela van der Westhuizen will head across the pond on Wednesday to join husband Peter in Europe. She will be running several races over the next couple of months, rocking the Red & White in stadia historic.
Megan Zavorka ripped out a nice set of 800s last week, running three in 2:30. Don’t try that at home, she is a professional.
Kaci Lickteig used the Sandhills Marathon for some over distance training yesterday, turning in a total of 35.7 miles and winning the thing in 3:05:11. And ran 10.5 today. I’m speechless.
Luka Thor is back to training after January’s major knee surgery. He will get his wheels back in time to make a run at the Corporate Cup 10K record in September.
Cory Logsdon (Dana College) and Lee Anderson (Wayne State) are our two newest mates. Cory will debut in Gretna next weekend and Lee will compete in the Fremont Half Marathon.
Linda Barnhart, Will Lindgren crowned Nebraska USATF 5 Mile Road Champions. This morning’s NE5 hosted both the RRCA and USATF 5 Mile State Championships. Linda was overall female and claimed both titles, I finished decent and felt as good as I have in a long time. We both picked up the smooth $50 and enjoyed a great breakfast afterwards.
Bill Roe (former USATF President), Andy Martin (USATF Member Services Chair) , and Devon Martin (Elite Development Club Council Chair) are in town tonight and tomorrow inspecting Burke Stadium for the 2012 USA Club National Championships. One step closer to my retirement, man am I jazzed!
We had FUN running the Big Blue Run yesterday, look at me smile!
