__/ HIGH SCHOOL INDOOR TRACK & FIELD CHAMPIONSHIPS THIS WEEKEND - Michigan high school athletes set several state indoor records at the Nike and National Scholastic indoor meets last weekend. This weekend you can catch some of these athletes in action at the Michigan Indoor Track Series (MITS) at the University of Michigan's Indoor Track Building. Doors open at 7:30 am; field events begin at 9:15 am; running events begin at 10:30 am. For series results, lists of qualifiers and a detailed schedule, see http://www.mitstrack.org

__/ STAFF PICKS HIGDON'S "MARATHON, THE ULTIMATE TRAINING GUIDE" - We like to check out the staff picks when we visit local bookstores. Is marathoning now mainstream? Among the picks this week at the Ann Arbor Barnes and Noble is Hal Higdon's "Marathon, the Ultimate Guide To Training". Writes staffer, Jenny, "It's about that time again. This book has all sorts of good info and training plans! Check it out." You can find Hal's book at any Barnes and Noble and also at Hal's Website: http:// www.halhigdon.com

__/ HELP SAVE TRACK & FIELD IN THE MID-AMERICAN CONFERENCE - For all the wrong reasons, another Mid American Conference school is dropping men's track and field. Our RunOhio colleague, Matt McGowan is leading the campaign to restore track and field at Ohio University. Check out Matt's analysis of the situation and try to help the cause: http://www.runohio.com/news/03-14-07Ohio_U.html
