Are you ready for 
Cross Country!
Believe it or not, the dog days of summer will soon fade and cross country season will be here - ranging from steamy Indian Summer meets through cold, wet state championships and climaxing in sunny Orlando's Disney World for the Foot Locker nationals in December.  DyeStat starts its season coverage today with two great articles by Rick Hill, director of the Great American Cross Country Festival:
2000 XC Preview - who are the old faithful, the challengers and the upstarts - teams and individuals?
About XC Rankings - with differing courses and not enough head-to-head competition, how do you do national rankings anyway?

Running with the Buffaloes - a new book by Chris Lear gives an insider's view of Adam Goucher, Mark Wetmore and the University of Colorado men's cross country program - reviewed by John Dye.

Beaver River NY runner killed
Michael Ardison, who was a top runner as a freshman on last year's New York state champion Beaver River cross country team, was killed 8/7 when his bicycle collided with a dump truck.  Ardison, who ran 18th in 16:49 at the NY Federation championships last November and a 9:36 3200 in the outdoor state meet, was expected to move into graduated Aaron Emery's role as team leader.  

DyeStat Guide to the Recruiting Game, a series by Donna Dye - rules of the game - how to reach your goals - how to be eligible. Latest installment - Title IX & Gender Equity - how they affect track scholarships

Report from a Villanova grad: Villanova - bound high school senior/graduate, Ryan Hayden, Vancouver, BC., has run 3:42.8 and 1:49.1 this summer. Move over Don Sage!

Dwight Thomas, winner of the Golden West and the Foot Locker Outdoors 100 this year, ran a PR of 10.12 in the semifinal heats in the Jamaican Olympic Trials! Though he wasn't in the top 3 in the 100, reports say he'll probably be on the relay team. He also made the top 3 in the 200 so he's going to Sydney for sure.
