Los Tres Matts: Pohren, Schneider, and Heesch. These three cats are busting their butts getting ready to tackle Hospital Hill in 20 days. Lots of hills, lots of miles, and lots of Team Pride are marinating their muscles with a very special dish planned for June 4.
Andrew Jacob got his USA Club qualifier in the 800 at this past weekend’s Concordia Twilight Meet. He dipped under the deuce clocking 1:59.05 on a very windy evening. Ivan Marsh was 2nd overall at the innaugural Lucky Bucket 4 Mile. Sufian Kalil took the win. We passed out ~500 Big Blue Run brochures at yesterday morning’s Papillion 10K & Half Marathon. TNB Masters Ace Kraig Vanderbeek was 3rd overall in 1:23:04 and Jen Viehrig was 4th in 1:30:41.
