How far has Nebraska running come since 2000 (b.w.)? You decide.
Prior to 2004 there were no post collegiate opportunities for talented Nebraska runners. Most retired or moved away. A very few stuck around, continued to train for training sake. Maybe hit up a local fun run.
This past weekend Nebraska athletes peppered the competitive landscape. On Trails. On Roads. On Track.
Stacy Shaw (23:55) won the USA 100 Mile Trail 50+ medal, 6th USATF, 13th overall. Kyle Clouston finished 5th USATF under 40, 7th in his age group in 19:20. Jerrod Anzalone made 80 miles in 15 hours before hip issues sidelined.
Joe Coil (20:07) narrowly defeated Ivan Marsh (20:12) at the Camp Carol Joy Holling 5K Trail Run.
Jay Welp ran 15:44 for the 2nd fastest Certified and Sanctioned road 5K of the year by a Nebraskan. Nicole Norris ran 19:51 at the same Dalton Gang 5K to set a new 2017 Best Mark for our association.
Nolan Zimmer ran a fast 14:46 track 5K at Frank Sevigne. Peter Falcon turned in a nice 15:19 on the same oval.
Pick a slice, any slice! You’ve got the whole USATF pie!
