2007 USA Cross Country Championships




















Great day, great races. Saw my first USA Cross Country meet and loved it. Arrived just when the masters races were finishing. Saw the Junion men and women and the Open men and women. Fantastic 2K loop course, mud everywhere, and some great competive races especially the open mens race. Deena Kastor blew away the other open women and a young 15 year old blew away the 19 and under junior women's race. Well pretty spectacular for a sophomore in high school especially blowing away 19 year old college freshmen! Junior mens was okay but really nothing spectacular. The big dog race featuring the open men was like seeing a University of Colorado alumni meet. The top 3 finishers were all CU runners. Alan Culpepper just ran a great race and put on some surge from hell and just blew the pack away. Just an all around great day at the races. You especially had to love the ditch mud pit jump..great stuff!
