Top runners and teams from the group championships last week return to challenging Holmdel Park.
From a DyeStat correspondent: Haddonfield NJ certainly deserving of their Number 4 US ranking. Dominated the NJ Meet of Champs - 3 Guys under 16 minutes at Holmdel Park - done by only 27 prior runners in the 22 years of that course! One of the Greatest 1-3 Trios in US History!!

California All-State Rankings - Billy Nelson, Amber Trotter still #1. Boys list expanded to 20 because of quality.

Great American 'weather forecast' improves
After the third Great American Cross Country Festival in Charlotte in September, we wrote a story painting a cloudy picture for the future of the popular and innovative meet. Meet founder Rick Hill said continuation of the meet hinged on development of enhanced sponsor revenues and an improved administrative structure. We asked Hill this week if the situation had changed, and he replied, "The forecast for Great American is less cloudy and with a prediction of sunny skies within a few weeks." We say hurrah for that.

Penny Sparks, mother and coach,
reflects on the Nevada State Meet results
when her daughter does less than expected

"Getting to the top is fun, exciting and challenging. Staying at the top is stressful, challenging, and not always a whole lot of fun. . . . Everyone feels bad for the hard working, less gifted athlete who gets no recognition, but we forget about the pressure the successful young elite runner has to deal with.

"Entering into womanhood is a wonderful thing unless you are an endurance runner."
The eating disorder trap for young girls, and how they can get around it.

This is the fifth "Performance Stretch of the Week" provided by StretchRite, Inc. The series is designed by exercise physiologist Scott Powers, inventor of the StretchRite stretch trainer. "The focus of stretching now is to run faster and jump higher, not just prevent injuries. We see so many athletes neglect their flexibility program which translates into tight muscles. A tight muscle will have a limited range of motion and definitely slows the runner," Powers says.
