Please mark your calendars for Wednesday, June 6th at 6:00 pm, at Burke Stadium for our fundraiser to help David Adams achieve his dream of making the 2012 USA Olympic Steeplechase Team. David has one of the fastest times in the U.S. this year and is certainly a contender for a top 3 finish and the coveted trip to London to represent the United States. There will be a variety of activities including getting to watch him run a Monster set of 1/4 mile repeats, a kids run, autographed 8 X 10 photos, raffle for door prizes, and more.
You can also follow David on his new website, www.davidadamsrunning.com He will be keeping a blog detailing his hard work and thoughts, videos of his races and workouts, including this past Sunday’s 13 X 300 at Millard West.
Please do help out this great guy, how often do we get a hometown boy with Olympic aspirations? You can make a difference!
Ran a tough 20 miler this morning. The first 8 we were kept company by our newest mate, Peter Falcon, and his brother Simon. This is always one of my favorite times of the year, graduation, and getting contacted by athletes that want to remain serious about their sport. Peter wrapped up his career at Lincoln this year running prs of 14:50 for the 5K, and 31:03 for the 10K at the Drake Relays earlier this year. He is young and fast and will make a great addition to the depth of our 5-10K corps. Welcome Peter!
We’ve named our Market to Market teams, at least the team names if not the complete roster for our open men. Our mixed open will be known as the “Team Nebraska Killer Spouses” and will be comprised of Peter and Michaela van der Westhuizen, Matt and Meghan Schneider, Megan Zavorka and York Thomas (to be wed on Oct. 27th), and David and Bethany Adams. We’ll have a tough time throwing together an open men’s team to compete with that line up but with the team name “Team Nebraska Run Guru Elite”, you can be sure there will be a lot of heart and pride on the start line.
Giddyup!
