Meet
cancelled due to more rain and mud.
The Dip becomes unpassable. |

Postponed 2 weeks by Hurricane Isabel, the Bull Run Invitational
at Hereford HS, north of Baltimore, was cancelled completely after one
JV race Saturday (10/4) when runners were sliding downhill trying to climb
The Dip. Already waterlogged by 62 inches of rain in the past year (20
more than normal), the course couldn't handle another half-inch of rain
on race day. Meet director John Roemer said, "Many of the 382 runners
in the boys JV/Open race could not run, much less remain vertical on the
return through the Dip. Many runners simply sat down and slid nearly 60
feet, bouncing off the tree we cushioned with a mat ( photo below)."
