Griak

This weekend the varsity teams will be at the Roy Griak memorial cross country meet. The meet is hosted by the University of Minnesota and is run on the Les Bolstad golf course.

The morning features the top ranked college teams in the country. This is a chance to see some of the best racing outside of the national meet. It is really amazing to see just how fast these guys are.

The afternoon features the high schoolers. Teams fly in from as far away as California and Florida but the best runners tend to be from the mid west. At the moment the minnesota teams are particularily dominate.

The course itself is very hilly. Times here can be a little slow.

If you are planning to come, come early and pack a lunch. They do sell food on the grounds but the lines can be huge.
