USATF National Club Cross Country Championships 8K Tallahassee Florida

The 60+ team was composed of Randy Anderson, John Painting, and Andy Harris.

The 70+ team was composed of David Howse, Mike Buzbee, Gil Machado, and Ron Souza.

Michael Tiska ran individually in the 50+ age group.

The 60 and 70 age group teams ran the 8K course with Mike Tiska running the 10K course.

The 60+ team came in 20th place with a score of 222 points.

The 70+ team came in 9th with 92 points.

The course was a 2 kilometer loop with 4 loops for the 8k and 5 loops for the 10K respectively.

The course while largely taking place on a rolling golf course did include an artificial hill known as the ‘rollercoaster’, adding to the challenge and spectacle of the race.
