I'm probably one of the few who has had the pleasure (sarc) of running 10K X-C at Crystal. We had NCAA DII Western Regionals there in 1981. Connover won with F. Assumma 2nd and C. Assumma 3rd and DiConti 4th. I believe I was somewhere around 7th in 32:00 and our team, UCR, was quite victorious

There is no such "stipulation" nor is there any "Eugene exemption" for the outdoor TF championships-- those are myths. The fact is, no institution west of Lawrence, KS, has bid for the cross country championships since the summer of '94 when the '96 championships were awarded to Arizona. I

I'm sure it's been debated, beat to death, whatever, but some kind of cross country running at the Olympics would be great. Dunno whether it would "catch" the eye of the TV viewer, or if it would be possible to film the whole thing, but it's certainly lofty thinking. And better than ice
