This week marks the third race in our New Balance / Super Jock 'n Jill Winter Grand Prix two-mile series for 2009-2010. It is alumni day, where the winning school is the one which brings out the most bodies, and has a couple do well in the race. Every person identified with your school gets your school at least a point! We are "inventing" a "traveling trophy," which we will also begin awarding for one of the summer all-comers track meets at Shoreline. BTW, our Nathan Hale volunteer crew will also get a point for each volunteer so that they have a fighting chance!
This is also your last opportunity to sign up for the full series and be eligible for series-ending prizes. Please check out the website at http://clubnorthwest.org/index.php/events/14-winter-grand-prix for more information.
We are working to restore all of the old results we used to have back to our web site. In a reconstruction of the web site this past summer, some material was lost. I have it all in PDF format, and will be re-sending it to our webmaster over the next few weeks. We still don't have many results from our early years, so if anyone out there has anything, I'd appreciate getting it from you!
Many thanks again to Super Jock 'n Jill and Ty Whitten for their support of the series, and to our local New Balance folks for their continued sponsorship. We hope you let them know how much you enjoy it! Also thanks to Shelley Neal and Nick Fleming, our board members from CNW who continue to support the event, as well as our five stooges who continue after 14 years to be believers -- me, Al Bonney, Kenny Emerick, Brian Oster, and Tom Anderson.
As always, all of the races are open to individual (non-series) entrants, so even if you are not contesting the full series, come out and enjoy at least one of the next four races:
