USA Marathon Olympic Trials - TOMORROW!


All,

In case you didn't know, the Trials are tomorrow in Houston. The races will be televised on NBC from 3-5pm so check it out.

Here is a link to an article highlighting eight local runners participating in the Trials:

Most notably, Chrissie Ramsey, of the our arch rival Falls Road Running Race Team will be running after running a blazing 1:14:57 half at Philly in November! She is ridiculously fast!

Hoping to see some great performances from Team USA hopefuls!

In related news, Coach Phil Lang will be running the Aramco Houston Half Marathon on Sunday morning. He claims not to be in great shape, but in my experience that's never stopped him...GO PHIL!!!
