Upcoming Circuit Events

The next circuit Team event is the Hennepin Lake Classic Double Header. This means we need two women to run the 5K, two to run the 10K and 1 to run both.

Then we have the 15K and the 25K. We need five for the 15K and 3 for the 25K. If we want to keep our standing we need to yield at every race. If people could take the time to let us know who will be able to run what races that would be great. It is also helpful to have backups because people get sick or hurt.

I am running Henn Lake 5K and I will run the 25K if needed. I am supposed to be out of town for the 15K.
The 2008 USATF Minnesota Cross-Country circuit was decided tonight at Majors Sports Cafe. Attached is a listing of the races, dates and distances selected. Each race (with the exception of the Fort Snelling Relays) will consist of a men's and women's race.

The USATF Minnesota Championship, will take place on the weekend of November 7th/8th or on November 15th. Race distance and race location are being determined at this time. The goal is to find a date and venue to have a men's 10k and women's 6k. A location, distance and date will be decided before August 1st.

Other rulings to be approved during tonight's meeting are the following:The XC team circuit rules will remain the same as they were in 2007. An open men's and women's team will consist of five (5) scoring members. A masters men's team will consist of five (5) scoring members. A womens master's and all grand master's teams will consist of three (3) scoring members. The one exception will be the Fort Snelling Relays, which will consist of five scoring members for all teams.

Scoring will remain the same in relation to the 2007 XC circuit. If three (3) teams score during a race, the first place team will receive four (4) points, 2nd place will receive three (3) points, and so forth. The USATF MN Championships will count as double points.

Hope to see everyone at the remaining road race team events, and see everyone in the fall during the XC circuit. Here are the races that were decided on.
