Indiana Runner Distance Showcase Feb 5th


Message Board

 

Heat Sheets Released

Wednesday, February 3, 2010

Stephen Bain

Heat Sheets for this Friday's Indiana Runner Distance Showcase are now released.  I will be working on an expected time schedule for the event.

 

There is a poor weather forecast.  Be careful in your travels, and the meet will be on this night regardless of the weather.  I look forward to meeting many new faces, and seeing great competition this Friday.

 

 

Track Preview Continues

Wednesday, Janury 27, 2010

Cash opens up his girls preview with the 4x100 relay, just as he did for the boys.

Also for those discussing minimalism on the message board, I am posting this article that was sent to me by Coach Guillen.

 

Be sure to scroll down and continue following our best programs of the decade!

Doctor's Advice

Sunday, January 10, 2010

Stephen Bain

We have a doctor who has volunteered to join our community here at Indiana Runner.  He is going to be helping tackle issues and concerns about our sport and help provide a better understanding of how and why things work in the human body.  Enjoy his first topic on stretching for runners on our new Doctor's Advice page.

Decade's Top Boys Teams

Thursday, January 7, 2010

Stephen Bain

Thanks for all the great debating going on the message board for the individuals.  I had possibly an even harder time ranking the Top 10 Boys XC Teams of the Decade, so I hope you enjoy these as well!

 

Decade's Top Girls Teams

Wednesday, January 6, 2010

Colin Altevogt

The list of the decade's best continues today with the Top Ten Girls Cross Country Teams. These are teams from individual years, rather than entire programs.

 

Boy's Best List Posted

I have posted my Top Ten Boys Cross Country list and am looking for a lot of debate as I know I had a hard time placing each of these athletes.  Enjoy!


 

Decade's Best Lists

Monday, January 4, 2010

Colin Altevogt
As 2009 has ended, we are now beginning our countdowns of some of the best things in Indiana high school cross country and track & field over the last ten years. The first installment in this series is a list of the Top Ten Girls Cross Country Runners over the last ten years. Stay tuned for more of these lists in the upcoming future.


Track Season is Upon Us!

Monday, December 28, 2009

Stephen Bain

It is safe to say that the cross country season is behind us, and that the track season is here.  With that, I have cleared the update board.  But you can find the old update board here hidden in our archives that will be organized in the future.  We have successfully been keeping track of our old material, although it can still be improved.

 

As you can see at the top of the website, I am going to be hosting an indoor track meet at Anderson University on February 5th.  Registration closes in about a month, which means you need to hurry up and get yourself registered.  There should be great competition in every event from the elite to those looking to check their fitness before the season begins.  Come into a great distance atmosphere and meet some friends and foes.

 

Lastly, Colin and I (really just me) are finishing all of our All-Decade team lists.  Expect these to begin being released after the New Year.  We will have top 10 Individuals, top 10 teams, and top 10 programs on both the boys and girls side.

I hope you have enjoyed my first season of being an administrator.  The site had the highest numbers I have seen in page views this year, which is a great indicator of success.  We hopefully will continue to improve this next season as well.  I just wanted to quickly thank all of our viewers for viewing, discussing, and supporting the site and sport.
