OUTDOOR is upon us, even as the last cross country meet, the World Cross, takes place in Ireland. Our first DyeStat On-Site outdoor meet of the season comes in New Orleans -- the Nokia Sugar Bowl Classic, from Tad Gormley Stadium. That starts the cycle that ends with the adidas Outdoor Championships in Raleigh and the USA Junior Nationals at Stanford in June (see DyeStat Featured Meets at the bottom of this page). We will post DyeStat Elite cutoffs this week for national rankings for the 2002 outdoor season.

World Cross Country Championships
March 23-24, Dublin, Ireland - DyeStat World Cross page -
Fast Conditions Await Team USA -
Half of the US junior teams are high school stars. Can they match Dathan Ritzenhein's stunning 3rd last year? Maybe not, but the preps are well represented with four boys and two girls, led by Foot Locker cross country champion Tim Moore, who is #1 on the US junior men's team after his win in the US Winter Nationals last month.
Results
Jr Women 6k: prep Erika Odlaug is highest American at 17th in junior women 6k, 1:10 behind repeat winner Viola Kibiwot, Kenya. Americans improve sharply over 2001, with all runners in top 47, finishing 5th as a team. Odlaug finish was the highest by an American junior woman since 1992. Theron Odlaug was proud of "our girl"
Women 8k:. Deena Drossin and USA 2nd.
Men 4k: Jorge Torres 11th, USA 5th; Kenya, Ethiopia dominate
Jr Men 8k: USA 7th with Rod Koborsi 30th, Billy Nelson 33, Bobby Lockhart 39, and Yong-Sung Leal 41 (Tim Moore 54, Zachary Sabatino 81).
Men 12k: Abdi, Meb, and Ritz in top 25; USA 5th.
Women 4k: Suzy Favor-Hamilton 5th
the Odlaug diary - the Odlaugs of Illinois are an international family and they are keeping a diary of the World Cross for DyeStat. Daughter Erika, who gained international experience last summer in the US-United Kingdom dual matches, is on the US junior women's team, and dad Theron is arriving in Dublin on an around-the-world trip via the home office in Japan of his employer.
From the diary: Erika is already in her pre-race "zone" when she leaves Chicago - a "meat wagon" flight on Aer Lingus - no room at the inn - Erika name drops Dathan, Jorge, and Suzy - Friday in Dublin: those intimidating African women - Erika checks out the course - Proud of "our girl" - the day after, still thrilling; next year: Lausanne.
Bento Leal's report - Yong-Sung Leal of San Lorenzo CA was the only high school junior on the USA junior men's team at Dublin. After the race, his father, Bento Leal, called.

Karen Freberg, US#1 shot putter in 2001, is transferring from Southern Methodist to Arizona.
