Or Exact. I’ve built a career, or at least a reputation, out of this soap box of mine. I’ll elevate it just a tad more:
There are now 8 USATF Course Measurers in Nebraska. Here’s their skinny:
Gary Meyer (Omaha)- Credited with 63 courses measured including 3 in Wisconson, 7 in Iowa, and 4 in Kentucky.
Eric Miller (Bellevue) – 12 courses measured, all out of state like this: 2 in Iowa, 2 in Texas, and 8 in Ohio
Will Lindgren (aw shucks)- 7 courses measured in Nebraska. I had previously measured 25+ in Texas, those have now lapsed with the 10 year mandatory renewal, my TX mentee is credited with 30, pass it on.
Greg Freese (Lincoln)- 5 courses measured including the Lincoln Marathon, Half Marathon, St. Farm 10 Mile and 5K
Mike Calvillo (Wayne)- 3 courses measured, all in South Dakota
Jason Shuster (Grand Island)- 2 courses measured including Bill Seymour Half Marathon
Lynn Lightner (Lincoln)- 1 course measured
Susie Smisek (Omaha)- 1 course measured, Omaha Marathon

This Saturday morning’s attack on the Scenic Sarpy/Douglas Alps (naddy) has taken a life of its own with not only the TNB mates hitting it but several members of the local community as well. I am going to need the company!
