Clarkston's M & M girls : 212 Jenny Morgan wins and 211 Liz Mengyan is third to pace US#3 MW#1 team. Morgan, 9th in the Foot Locker Midwest region last year, moved to Clarkston this year from Barnesville OH when her Michigan native father moved back. "She makes everyone on the team better," said Clarkston coach Jamie LaBrosse. Mengyan, who PR'd with her 3rd place finish today, gladly welcomed Morgan to the team. "It's so nice to have someone to push me," Liz said. "Same for me," Morgan said. Both said they are "so excited" about the possibility of competing in the first Nike Team Nationals at Portland December 4. LaBrosse said he pushed back the team's training schedule to point toward NTN. "We are about 2 weeks behind last year." Clarkston will get even better with the return soon of injured #4 runner Ellie Kuhta.

Davidson Hilliard coach Pat Schlecht started 3 years ago with a concept of inviting top teams from neighboring states to a kickoff meet in early September. The concept has proven sound as each year brings a bigger and higher quality field of state champions. It is the first major meet in the country that starts to give focus to regional and national rankings. The inaugural meet 3 years ago faced a decision whether or not to go on with the meet, just 4 days after the 9/11 disasters in New York and Washington DC.
DyeStat reported:
The meet started with a minister asking why we should run today, leading the young athletes in the pledge of allegiance, and shouting, "RUN!" Then a very American boy of Ethiopian descent answered the minister's question with the most brilliant run of the day. "I just wanted to run hard, run proud," said Nef Araia, a junior from Lawrence North IN. "I wanted to show them (the terrorists) that we can still lead normal lives in America."
