“It was a successful day of racing for all of those that
participated”, commented race director Bill Brist. “The weather was less than ideal, yet all of
the runners did a fantastic job with their performances. I know that everyone in attendance would have
enjoyed better conditions, but it was inspiring to watch the determination of
the runners in such adverse weather.
Rain, Wind, Sleet and even a few flakes of snow fell on the runners, and
yet they were all so upbeat.”
The start and finish of all the races were at the Pishkin
Buffalo Jump State Park. Below are the
complete results of the races, which were organized by the UGF Track and Cross
