Most of you frequently on the discussion board probably know my background already.  For those who don’t, I am the parent of two kids who run for Daviess County.  I’m also the founder of the club Runawayz, which ran in the off-season from 2007-2010.  In this blog, I’d like to share with you how I think you can have a successful postseason experience.   I’m sure you’d hear a lot of what I’m going to say from the Derby City coaches.

The lights at the Elizabethtown Sports Park kept playing tricks on Marcus Terrell. One second, the North Hardin junior thought Grayson County sophomore Bret Crawford was right on his tail. Another, Terrell thought Crawford had fallen off the pace. After running neck-and-neck for the first 2 miles Saturday night, Terrell began pulling away from Crawford and won the 69-runner Central Kentucky Run for the Gold in 16 minutes, 35.01 seconds. Crawford finished 5 seconds back in 16:41.72. (via www.thenewsenterprise.com)

Interviews and Race Footage from the Lexington Catholic Invitational

It’s always a good insight on both sides to be able to see how the races play out and teams stack up in the pecking order when the small schools are separated from the large schools at the Lexington Catholic Invitational. It’s as close as we will get to a preview of the state meet and it makes for great races all day long.

From my experiences of racing in the last 5 years or so, it seems like the Horse Park and cold/windy/rainy weather usually goes hand in hand.

The Harlan County Black Bears tore through the Corbin Invitational on October 20, snagging the hardware in nearly every team category.

SPRINGFIELD, Mo.—Bellarmine University's Angela Musk and Emily Frith ran 1-2 in today's Great Lakes Valley Conference Cross Country Championship, but the Southern Indiana Screaming Eagles nipped the Knights for the team title at the course at “Springfield Underground.”

LOUISVILLE, Ky. – The highly competitive field that boasts 15 nationally ranked teams for the NCAA Division I Pre-National Cross Country meet on Oct. 13, at E.P. ‘Tom’ Sawyer State Park has been set.

  This past weekend was strange, there were a ton of meets but nothing was really huge.  There were some quality match-ups but even that was hard to decipher as many schools were missing runners.  Fall break is part of it, minor injuries, and just simply being tired from all the racing over the last seven weeks.  Here are some of the things that stuck out to me from this past week.

Spalding University's Abram Deng, a senior from Louisville, Ky. (Central), has been named the Men's Cross Country Runner of the Week for the week of October 1-7.

A look at the meets from the last week.

In my opinion, the cross country season really isn’t in full swing until the ground crunches under your feet as you walk to your car on your way to the meet. For me, that day came today, as I left my house in Louisville to an outside temperature of about 38 degrees heading to the Hillbilly Run in Bardstown.
