Big East Championships


Hey Everyone, Josh here...I''ll be reporting on the Big East championships this weekend. The WVU girls leave today to try to win Big at the Big East, starting Saturday. For almost Live results on races, check back on this Blog, as I will be updating it everytime someone finishes a race. LETS GO LADIES!

Jordan Hamric Interview

Hey guys Casey here...I've got one last interview to put up before the weekend.

Jordan Hamric - One of Preston's top runners over the past few years, Jordan has had tremendous success in Cross Country and Track. Last year she went 11:01 for the 3200m. at the State Meet to put her as the #4 fastest of all time. Pretty impressive stuff.

Now just so you know I talked to Jordan about what picture she wanted me use for the interview. She said she was going to message me and let me know which one she approved of. Alas, the message went astray, and I was forced to pick the picture that I thought captured Jordan's spirit the best. You just really can't leave these things in my hands. Thank you facebook!

New Interviews!

Hey guys Casey here....I've finally put up a few interviews that I've been sitting on. We lost internet access here for a few weeks when Josh crushed his wireless card in his hand like the Incredible Hulk because it was acting up. But a quick trip to the land of Wally World for a new wirless card and we're back in the business of stealing the internet from the people downstairs. I just wanted to thank Alex and Hallie for sending us back some cool responses and we have one with Jordan Hamric that I'll have up tomorrow. Just check out the following links:

Hallie Portner - University star runner who lead her team to the first ever University Women's state title.

Alex Dent - Superstar of the South from Hurricane High school who is quickly turning herself into legend.

Enjoy.

Running Evolved.

Hey guys Casey here...I found a pretty cool video to check out. This is the next step in the Evolution of Running - it's called Parkour, or Free Running. You can actually see a pretty good example of it in the latest James Bond movie, Casino Royale. The bad guy who did all the free running at the beginning of that movie was actually one of the co-inventors of the sport.

This guys is pretty awesome - could you imagine running against this guy in a race and he's doing back flips over your head and off cars. I like the part where he's flying through the trees like Tarzan.
