Trevor Dunbar to transfer to Oregon

On Sunday Flotrack posted a video entitled 2012 NCAA XC Predictions. The video started a lot of chatter about potential shifts and changes with different athletes over the next year. One of these athletes was Trevor Dunbar, the current redshirt-sophomore on the track at the University of Portland.

Something to prove

Prior to speaking on any other topic, I’d like to express my happiness for Pat Dupont. This kid is a stud. 2x All-American in back-to-back seasons and he did it modestly. He was incredibly consistent for us and finished off his cross career as one of the most decorated cross country runners from Syracuse. What a joy it was been journeying with him and Tito. Those guys are leaders and I’m sad to see their eligibility run out. I feel blessed to have another year to continue what they’ve started, but I wish they could be there. Those two will be hard to replace, but the program has learned a lot from them.

A Spectator Sport

I once overheard someone refer to cross country as a pseudo-spectator sport.  That is to say, it’s not an event that one simply sits around and observes.  Rather, you get quite the workout in while bouncing back and forth between tangents, screaming at the top of your lungs for whatever team your allegiance lies with.  After being a part of the phenomenon that is cross country spectatorship in Terre Haute for six years now, I’ve come to adore the peculiarities of the whole darn mess.  And at the heart of that mess are the fans.

Vanderbilt Women NCAA Preview 2011

In a season that has seen traditional powers from Oregon, Arkansas, and Providence not qualify for the NCAA Championships, it seems fitting that the climate would be right for an unheralded program to surprise.  No team fills that role better than the women of Vanderbilt.  Buoyed by their second place finish at the Wisconsin Invitational in mid-October, the Commodores have run off an impressive string of performances that has seen them win their first ever SEC Championship and qualify for the NCAA Championships for the first time in school history.  Unpredictable, yes. Cinderella, not quite.  Ranked fifth in the most recent coaches’ poll, Vanderbilt’s performances this season have put them on everyone’s radar heading into Monday.

This Monday they get the chance to carry that streak into the double digits. Being led by senior Lenny Korir, who’s touted as one of the favorites for the individual title, the Gaels head into “the big dance” as the recent runners-up at the Northeast Regional.

A New Family

The family. We were a strange little band of characters trudging through life sharing diseases and toothpaste, coveting one another's desserts, hiding shampoo, borrowing money, locking each other out of our rooms, inflicting pain and kissing to heal it in the same instant, loving, laughing, defending, and trying to figure out the common thread that bound us all together. ~Erma Bombeck
