Two indoor championships
again next year
Behind the scenes efforts to merge the Nike Indoor Classic
and the National Scholastic Indoor Championships have failed.
DyeStat has learned that the New York Armory has signed a
contract with the Metropolitan Athletics Congress for the
NSIC to return to the Armory in 2002, and the National Scholastic
Sports Foundation has agreed to return NIC to the Prince Georges
County Sports complex in Landover MD. Thus, it appears that
the two meets will compete for athletes and national championship
status for the fourth straight year.

Great American named
a Charter Sponsor of DyeStat
BALTIMORE MD 8/8/01 - DyeStat today
named the Great American Cross Country Festival Inc.
a charter sponsor of DyeStat.
The Great American, created by Charlotte
NC businessman and running enthusiast Rick Hill, revolutionized
high school team cross country competition 2 years ago
with its first festival. For the first time, the majority
of high-ranking teams met face to face, instead of in
the rankings. Great trophies, cookouts, and dances completed
a festive atmosphere that lived up to the meet's name.
A second race - the Great Race of the Great Bay, San
Francisco September 8 - has been added this year, along
with the 3rd Great American Championships at Charlotte
September 22. DyeStat will be on-site.
Charter sponsor designation is given
to those organizations that commit significant support
to DyeStat in the 2001-2002 school year, a period that
is critical for the future of DyeStat as the premier
high school Web site in America. Charter sponsors will
be recognized in the footer of all DyeStat pages for
5 years. Great American joins Nike as the first two
Charter Sponsors of DyeStat.
