All set and ready to go tomorrow morning. Those that are fittest and hopefully fiercest. Ready to test their mettle against the best of the rest. This is no mere club championships, the USA Cross Country National Championships are the selection race to represent the United States at the World Cross Country Championships. For the best of the best this race can be summed up in three words: First, Second, Third.
But, if you are a card carrying USATF Member, with disposable income, you too can jump into the most prestigous domestic cross meet of the year. Registration is at the Millenium Harvest House in Boulder, from 9:00-5:00 pm today. How cool to line up and measure against the likes of Chris Derrick, Ben True, Dathan Ritzenheim, Garrett Heath, Ryan Vail, Bobby Curtis, Jacob Riley, Clint Wells, Joseph Gray, Sean Quigley, Patrick Smyth, Andrew Colley, Joe Stilin, newcomer Maksim Korolev, ad infinitum. Accessability to the great ones, thats one of the things that makes our sport unique and special.
My money for top midwest region finisher? Joe Moore of the Kansas City Smoke.
