2004 Indoor - Here we go . . .

We are ready now. Cross country is over, and indoor meets are popping up fast. (They've been going on at the New York Armory for 3 weeks already.) The post-Christmas week has the first big slate of meets in the Northeast, as listed in THIS WEEK. Our first DyeStat Elite national lists for Indoor 2004 will be posted this week, along with the cutoffs for getting ranked.
DyeStat Elite Cutoffs - Here are the marks you need to make the DyeStat Elite national rankings for the 2004 indoor season.
How to Get Ranked - directions for submitting marks for DyeStat Elite rankings
Top Returnees - We list the DyeStat Elite performers from 2003 Indoor who return this year. There is a very talented returning group of girls led by triple-event leaders Natasha Hastings (300, 400 and USR 500) and Erica McLain (55H, LJ, TJ). Double event leaders are Katya Kostetskaya (800, 1500), Sarah Bowman (1000, Mile), and Nicole Blood (3000, 2-mile). Galen Rupp (3000 and 2-mile) is the only double leader in the boys lists.

The Harrier
Saratoga NY girls, The Woodlands TX boys are #1 for 2003 - The final 2003 lists by The Harrier make the Saratoga NY girls and The Woodlands TX boys the #1 cross country teams in the US. The boys top 10 was unchanged from the Nov. 26 lists, and there were minor shifts in the girls top 10 due to late state meets and Foot Locker results.

DyeStat Elite 2003 Cross Country
List Number 14 of 2003 cross country season has 4,041 performances from across the nation, including the California state meet and all Foot Locker regionals and finals. We still have a handful of state meets and emails to process before the final season lists are posted.

Millrose Mile Selection Procedures - The high school boys mile has been run at the Millrose Games since 1974 and the girls mile since 1984. Because of new ownership, there have been some changes in the selection procedures for these two races at the 2004 meet on February 6 at Madison Square Garden, it was announced by selection chairs Larry Byrne (boys) and Jim Spier (girls). The biggest change is that the winners of the mile run at two New York Armory meets -- the Hispanic Games January 10 and the New Balance Games January 24 -- will win automatic entry into the Millrose Mile. The Bishop Loughlin Games Saturday (Dec 20) is the first of several meets that will be "monitored" for selection purposes.

National Cross Country Team Championship?

Nike is exploring the possibility of a national high school team championship meet in cross country, which would be the first national team championship in any sport for high schools. The biggest unanswered question is how the meet would relate to the present Foot Locker championship for individuals, now in its 25th year. Nike and Foot Locker are negotiating the possibility of evolving the present Foot Locker individual championship into a combined team and individual championship meet. Nike's 3-year contract to sponsor the present Foot Locker meet ends this year. Before that, adidas was the Foot Locker title sponsor.

Structure of the possible team championship is still being planned, but Nike's initial concept would involve wider participation, with 8 regions instead of 4, and about 400 runners at nationals instead of 64. Advancement to national finals would be similar to the NCAA championship, with two teams from each region plus four at large teams qualifying for nationals, along with individuals placing high in the regionals. Regional meets would also have an array of "regional championship" races by school size and age groups in addition to the seeded races.

Sanction options are being explored with both the National Federation of State High School Associations and USATF. Neither Nike nor Foot Locker has made any official announcement, but talks are ongoing and some announcement is expected soon. [John Dye]

50th Bishop Loughlin Games

Boys 2 Mile - 287 Hakon Devries 920.78, John Jay NY senior, won going away by 6 seconds over Mike Tilger, Archbishop Carroll. Devries said he planned to run an even first mile and kick late, but when Tilger moved out with 1000 meters to go Devries had to respond. He did with a vengeance and won decisively with a 65-second last lap. Devries will next aim for the New Balance mile January 24 to try for the automatic qualifier for the Millrose Games high school mile.
