WVU's All-Americans
WVU's Clara Grandt (Doddridge), Karly Hamric (Preston), Keri Bland (North Marion) and Marie Louise Asselin
each earned All-American honors at the NCAA Championships this past weekend. Asselin finished 2nd in the
5000, Grandt was 4th in the 10,000, Hamric was 6th in the 1500, and Bland was 9th in the 1500. Congratulations
ladies.
Contribution Season
As always, I'm accepting donations. Please view the Wall of Support for details. Every little bit helps
pay for the site expenses. What I'd ideally like to see happen is for each team to send $1 per athlete
per season ($1 for Track and $1 for Cross Country). That way no one is emptying their pockets much, but
the site is still well-supported.
Submitting Meet Results
I thought I'd put up a reminder about how to submit meet results. Our preferred
method to received results is via E-Mail. The best method is to send us a backup
copy of the meet if you're using Hy-Tek software. Then we can extract all the information
we want. Otherwise, you can E-Mail a text file, a Microsoft Word File, a Microsoft Excel
File, or an HTML file.
If you cannot accomplish one of the above, it only takes a minute to
fax things our way (1-775-655-5335).
