The Bobcat Nation

Our men's and women's teams will compete Friday, Dec. 3 in the Fieldhouse from 4:30 - 8:30 PM. Attendance is free and open to the public. We will throw the javelin at 4:30, followed by the rest of the meet around 5:30. Each team currently has nine members, including two captains who will draft the rest of their teams after Thanksgiving. Events will be scored 6 places, and the scores from men and women will be combined. This challenges the captains to study the 50+ athletes not yet picked in order to pick the best possible teams.

Coach, should this be December 3rd?

Yes Dec. 3rd! Thanks.

Coach,

What happened to Patrick Casey at the NCAA Cross Country Finals?

He was shooting for top 25, but ended up 144th. I thought I read that his target time was 30 min flat which would have been good for 10th. He finished at 31:32. Tight race....92 seconds separated 134 people!

That's still pretty impressive. For a guy who specializes in the mile (damn near a sprint, nowadays), to make the national championships in a 10k (6.2 miles).

I just read in the paper that his legs weren't up to it this time.

So we're all set for friday's indoor meet. The team is divided into blue and gold with a significant wager between them on the outcome. Combined scoring, men and women. Jav at 4:30 PM followed by everything else. Should finish around 8:00. We could use some volunteer officials, no experience necessary for some assignments.
