Great American
Cross Country Festival
On
a day that started with a flood that caused a 7-hour delay, two runners
-- Alan Webb and Alicia Craig -- parted the competitive
waters with ease, while the entire 8-race high school schedule was
featured by fierce team competition when the flood waters receded and
the sun came out. Meet founder and director Rick Hill (above)
could smile again with the huge, silver trophies that were part of the
$300,000 budget for the meet.

DyeStat brings you national listings of cross country performances for the 2000 season. These are not rankings - cross country times are inherently not comparable. But the fastest runners in the country should be recognized. DyeStat is compiling the national leaders meeting cutoffs at 3 miles and 5k, with updates at least weekly.
