Update on Junior Nationals

It is coming up next week. We leave on Wednesday for Des Moines.

Quimes DelaCruz races the steeple on Thursday.

On Friday, Jackie Gamboli races the 1500 trials. The field is stacked. While we hope she can qualify for Saturday's finals, it will take a huge effort on her part. Regardless, Chuck has been training with her and she is in great shape, hopefully ready for a PR.

The men's 10,000 is also on Friday. Quimes is entered in it using his 5km qualifier. This year, an appeal is needed to use a 5km mark for 10km entrance. We have not heard yet. We are hopeful he will be able to race. Also, Mike Nicoletti is entered in the 10km. He has been battling a knee issue, but he will give it his best shot.

We are looking forward to the trip. I will bring my laptop and try to keep everybody updated via blog posts throughout the trip.

In the meantime, keep watching that World Cup!
