This annual event pits Florida HS seniors from North/South/East/West counties against one another after their FHSAA XC career has concluded. A really fun event to be associated with from any angle - runner, coach, parent, fan, or volunteer. All photos, #1890-2382 (760MB+) have been uploaded. Results, thanks to Godby Coach Chris Sumner: http://www.milesplit.com/meet/20625 Many thanks to my photojournalist stand-in while I was on lead bike duty. Sickles Coach David Rittenour's friend, Coach Ladd Baldwin from Gaither HS, did the honors. Without Coach Baldwin, no photos! Team uniforms were courtesy of Mr. Hank Steinbrenner. Thanks is not enough, Mr. Steinbrenner. I join the kids in thinking you really rock! Team dinner from Olive Garden (courtesy Will & Kathy Anguish) with FSU Coach Bob Braman arranging and doing pickup/delivery duties. Coach Bob, the dinner and race isn't complete without your presence. Btw, where was Citron?

2006 FHSAA Cross Country Finals : "Published with permission of FHSAA. Reproduction of photographs for purposes other than personal entertainment is prohibited. All rights reserved." Photos 1183-1889 have been uploaded. Yes, that's about 700 shots. This is getting to be old news: It took my waxed string and tin can, world's slowest DSL connection (courtesy of the oxymoronically-named "SPRINT" - no wonder they changed the name to "Embarq") a loooong time to get this ~1GB of full resolution shots uploaded. You may wish to change the gallery "STYLE" (top right) for easier viewing/locating all ~700 photos. Try "all thumbs" or "journal." When sifting through hundreds of photos, "all thumbs" works best for locating any individual shot. Thanks! The much abused camera and lens gave me fits with its "now I'll work, now I won't" tantrums. Anyone got a Nikon D2Hs they want me to test drive? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nikon_D2Hs That, and the difficulty of dealing with a nearly 10 furlong loop to navigate made getting shots of everyone an impossible task. I had to leave as the Boys' 3A had run only ~1M. So I missed many shots that I wanted to get of our friends from those schools. Guess I could have missed the bus and pedaled the bike back to Tallahassee, right? THIS SITE is private property, and doesn't necessarily represent any other individual or organization.

FSU XC Invite 2006 : SATURDAY, 7 October, Miccosukee Greenway Park. A big bad (and I do mean bad) assortment of shots (#9312-9963) from the Men's 8K, Women's 5K, Boys' HS 5K, Girls' HS 5K, Male Open 5K, and Femme Open 5K. It took a while for all 894MB to squeeze through my worthless Sprint DSL line. Beautiful, dry, and relatively cool day at the park for the races. You could hear and feel the thunder from the runners' feet on the downhill.

Flrunners.com 7 : Photos 8288-8610 from the 29 September 2006 XC action at Tampa's Ed Radice Park. For easiest navigation, how 'bout switch the gallery "style" (top right) to "all thumbs." I uploaded 'em before I even previewed what I shot. Good luck, right? Having looked at them now - uh, you guys just Photoshop what you want, ok? Missed the ROC action (other than start line pre-race fun) and races before the College Women's. Hope some of the mudpit photos came out ok.

Prefontaine XC 2006 : SATURDAY, 23 September, Silver Lake Recreation Area. Viewing suggestion: Set the gallery "style" (top-right) to "all thumbs." 5k HS event (shown), 1.5M+ MS race (got photos you'd like me to post?), 5k community race (most HS/MS posted). I also have community race photos - not posted. Apologies for getting just the boring finish line photos. On this course I was too cowardly to hold the camera in one hand while leading the races on the Pugsley, pedaling up the ravine hill, over the log hops, etc. COURSE RECORD? This year's course produced the fastest Prefontaine times I could document. (I checked "Fleet Foot" newsletters back through 1978.) Joseph Franklin won the HS 5k in 16:46, with Tyler Price close behind in 16:51. Gary Droze won the Open 5k in 17:24. I don't think we've had anyone run a Prefontaine race as fast as Gary's time since 1995, when he was credited with a 17:12, beating David Ogletree (17:28) and John Otterson (17:36). All-time best I could find was Tim Simpkins' 16:51 from 1985. Franklin takes that one down, with Price equalling it.

The new compact two-loop course really helps keep the spectators interested in the race. 100+ photo course tour here: http://tallahasseetrails.smugmug.com/gallery/1909847 How 'bout a shoutout to Jeff Nielsen and Gary Droze, the brains behind this event. The pushup contest keeps getting better. Girls' and Boys' divisions now. Photos below, near the end of the gallery. Thanks to Sherry and Sonny (the Park management) for all of their efforts as well. What nice folks. Let's do it again! THIS SITE is private property, and doesn't necessarily represent any other individual or organization.
