The Course...

The course was changed in 2006 to accommodate the larger field. It is an improvement over the slow and rough 2005 course. The new course may be a bit more spectator friendly!

Meet Notes:
-We will run two teams in the Varsity Race. This will allow us to get a better look at all of our top 14 runners, so we can more easily pick-out our top 7 for the post-season races.
-This is a very tough course and you'll be away from spectators for much of the race; You will have to rely on your teammates and your own guts to keep yourself going. Are you a competitor? It'll be obvious here!
-In 2006, Adam Swenson and Kevin Hendrickson were the only two Saline runners in the top ten of the reserve race. In 2008, we will have our top 14 in the varsity race so we will have to work hard for 5 of the top ten spots!
