Indoors news - Jan 2007

The WV Flyers hosted their first indoor track meet Friday night. Even though it was a small meet, there were still some outstanding performances. Kaylyn Christopher won the mile with a solo 5:10 in her first race since the Cross Country state meet. Levi Grandt showed he's been taking the winter serious with a win in the 1600m clocking a 4:35 (followed closely by Josh Feathers in 4:36 and Travis Simpson in 4:37). He also came back to win the 800. North Marion standout Zach Tennant cruised to a victory in the 3200. I have no idea where you can find results for this meet. It may be up on the WV Flyers page later.

The Ryan Jobes Memorial 5K (honoring the memory of fallen runner Ryan Jobes who was killed in a car accident last year) kicked off it's first year with a good start. Plenty of runners made an appearance to show their support with Zach Sabatino and Jenn Davis (the Ken and Barbie of WV distance running) taking top honors for the men and women races.

Indoor Track has officially started with a few meets before the Christmas break. Marietta hosted the Early Bird which had a few WVIAC schools in attendance. Ryan Skotnicki (who I thought was dead) made an appearance in the 3K.

ABOUT

Frequently Asked Questions

How is Athlete of the Week chosen?
--AotW is awarded to the West Virginia who has the most outstanding week in distance running. If an athlete gets on a roll, they can win the award several weeks in a row. This is a subjective award.

What is the "Arb?"
--The Arb is short for the Core Arboritum. The most popular running site in Morgantown, this small area of trails has seen countless workouts. The service road is the section commonly referred to as the Arb Hill.

What is the history behind the Arb... I mean the website, not the park in Morgantown.
--The Arb was started in late 2005 by a pair of post-collegiate runners in West Virginia. Over time, their interest waned and "W" picked up the AotW as well as admin of the message board. As his interest wanes, duties are passed on to other responsible runners.

I can't stand the Arb Message Board, what's the deal with it?
--The message board traces its roots back to the old WV Runners Directory, founded in 2000. It certainly has an element of anarchy to it, and is not going to suit everyone's tastes. The rules are posted in the link at the top of the board. If you get distressed about the attitudes on the board, please email the administrator and they will see what can be done. As with most things on the internet, the most effective thing to do is to not visit the board if it upsets you too much.

VIDEOS

Here are videos uploaded to YouTube from runners around the state, or found on the internet for your enjoyment.

If anyone has past state meets or videos of races that you would like have up then please upload them to YouTube and send us the link so we can put it up. It would be awesome to find some older race videos that people can watch.

2008

WVU at Big East Indoors - MLA's parents put up some of the distance races on Youtube.

2009

Clara Grandt - Great video from FloTrack of Clara Grandt running 33:19 in the 10K and breaking the WVU record by over a minute.

LISTS

Here we are keeping a few lists that have grown popular on this site through the message board. The Best Performance List keeps track of performances by runners of all ages so people can see how they stack up in this state. The times are ranked for the calendar year and converted to the high school distances. High school distances were chosen as the lowest common denominator.
