Tharp has big plans for cross country site By Michael Sandrock Camera Sports Writer -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Richard Tharp was an enthusiastic spectator at Saturday's Big 12 championships, and the CU athletic director said his "vision" for CU's Buffalo Ranch cross country course is to turn it into a "public access" facility for Boulder's runners while making it one of the best courses in the nation. "This is Boulder, Colorado," Tharp said, "and a lot of people know this course and understand running. They are invested in it." Tharp said he would be agreeable to the idea of letting open runners use the cross country course. He said some people might be unaware that because of Bureau of Land Management regulations, there are certain kinds of grass CU is not able to plant in the South Campus area. The city and the university are negotiating over future use of the area. full article: http://thedailycamera.com/buffzone/sports/29xcside.html == "Don't let me get too deep" -Edie Brickell _____________________________________________________________ i-run.com - your running log A free online running log Half.com the hottest site for DVDs, CDs & more!
