CROSS COUNTRY STUDY
MSU researcher seeks former Spartan cross country athletes for study

1948 MSU Cross Country Team

Because MSU has won many NCAA and Big Ten championships in cross country, Mark Havitz, recreation and leisure studies chair at the University of Waterloo, Canada, is basing his research project on the history of MSU cross country. “We are looking for input from all alumni of all of MSU’s men’s and women’s teams from 1907 to present,” says Havitz, an MSU alumnus. “If you ran cross country at MSU, we want to hear from you.” You can contact Havitz via email mhavitz@uwaterloo.ca or telephone at (519) 888-4567 x33013. He says he is also interested in deceased alumni of the MSU cross country program]]>

Apparently there is a rumor floating around that the Allendale/West Catholic "mega" regional at Allendale HS will take place on Friday, 10/29. This is not true; the regional will be on Saturday the 30th. Hopefully the meet time schedule will be set by later this week. We'll keep you posted.

Any questions, let me or Don P know. Thanks!

I am fortunate to have a good Middle School program to feed into our team (thanks Daryl) so I am excited to finally break the 30 mark for boys. Our previous best was 30 and it looks like we will have about 35 when we get settled in. I think we will have 60 - 65 total boys and girls combined which is pretty amazing. Almost time for 2 busses!

I know rosters this big are more likely for the larger schools. Also, what it means to have a large number of kids in other divisions is different so it might be interesting to categorize them by that?]]>
