Video From Stanford

In my last post I forgot to highlight the fact that Runa Falch broke the all time state record in the 5k at Stanford! What a great effort from her. She will be able to take some much needed rest right now and build back up for the outdoor national meet in California where she will be able to contend in the 5k race for another all-american spot. She should be joined by Kristen Brondbo who also ran very well.

Here is great video from this weekend that I found on Runnerspace.com and flotrack.com.

Augustana Opens up at Stanford

Check out the great coverage of all of the Augustana races from this past weekend! I have the results sorted out so you can click on the link after the name to view the video from each race. It should save you the time digging through each race! I am planning to embed all of the video here as soon as I get the chance.

Even though the weather wasn't great our athletes ran really well. I am looking forward to our home opener this coming weekend where the entire team, fresh and rested off of spring break makes its debut.

Coach Vahrenkamp

Here it is. This weekend, more specifically Friday and Saturday Augustana athletes will be competing at Stanford. The predicted weather is 58 with a chance of showers. Most of the athletes will be competing in distance races but both Diego Oquendo and Paul Mallory will be running the 110m hurdles. As results from the races come up I'll post them here and include any video that I can get of races after they occur.
