Vol. 4 No. 12 Two Great Track and Field, and Cross Country Websites

Things to do on a snowy day.   I'm sitting under eight inches of wet snow that fell yesterday and last night.   Courtenay, British Columbia where I roost, is basically shut down for the day.  What to do?

My suggestion to all readers around the world is to look at these two websites.  They are admittedly heavily laden with American distance running content, but there is also a good bit on international cross country.    The   Running Entertainment/Running Shots site is primarily photographic,  and when I say photographic I should also say again 'heavily laden' with photos.  There are 46 pages with multiple pictures on each page.  It is not chronological.  At least each page stays in one time period or highlights only one or two individuals.      The second site is done by Penn State Track and Field alumni and is heavily into events (modern and old) centered around that track and field program.  But there is some very good historic content and it tops all sites I've seen  with its sense of humor.    Here are the links.

Running Shots

This link will open on US NCAA cross country going back to the 1930's.  But if you scroll to the bottom you will see where to click to get the other 45 pages.

Penn State Track and Field Alumni Golf  (don't be put off by the word  'golf'.  It's what old Penn State runners do when they get together.
