Pacific Assocation of USA Track and Field

XC Relive the USATF Clubs National Cross Country Champs, thanks to Tom Bernhard’s race videos and Phil Yearian photos!

 

 

What a day it was! Following the first two races, due to the water-logged soil from the recent and race day rains, an entire tree fell across the start line, narrowly and fortunately missing runners and spectators in that area. As a result the races were moved to the Polo Fields track, and thanks to the skills and cooperation of all involved, went off as smoothly as could have possibly been expected. Check out Tom Bernard’s spectacular race videos below.

First USATF Pacific Open Men’s finisher: Phil Reid (16th in 27:34) of the Hoka Aggies Running Club. He led his Open Men’s team to a 3rd place overall finish.
