Part four of a four part series leading to the World Cross Country Championships to be held March 20, 2011 in Punta Umbria, Spain.
NEW YORK – There will come a time when Lukas Verzbicas will have to put what he did in perspective. One day he’ll have to take stock of his performance and see that he laid the foundation for what legend is built on.
NEW YORK – The best indication that Aisling Cuffe was on pace had nothing to do with time. The Stanford-bound senior wanted to listen to her body and she knew her legs would pass the message.
NEW YORK – It is fact that Shelby Ashe is the best in the country in the weight throw. She’s the best ever.
Shelby Ashe (GA) won the girls weight throw and improved her National Record mark to 68-02.50! Ajee Wilson & Zavon Watkins set US#6 A-T 800's in 2:06.17 and 1:50.84. Medgar Evers set a US#6 A-T 4x4 in 3:42.67. Aisling Cuffe went US#2 All-Time with a 9:56.85 in the 2 Mile.

Some of you may know that Jimmy Carnes has been battling cancer over the years. Well, it is with great sadness that I report that the disease that has ravished his body has finally won. On Saturday, around noon, Jimmy passed away with his family at his side.
