__/ QUOTE OF THE WEEK

"We went out nice and easy, and went through the half-marathon in about 1:05:40, and started picking people off. "Our performance was decent, but we gotta keep our eye on the prize, and go forward. We want to get back to where things used to be in the 1980s. It's a step in the right direction."

-- Brian Sell, 9th, World Championships Marathon, 1st American, 2:13:27, quoted by USATF.

--Tim Broe, 5000m semi-final, 13:51.17. In a time well short of his 13:11.77 PR, did not advance to final. We did enjoy watching Australia's Craig Mottram pull ahead of defending world champion Eliud Kipchoge to take the bronze by .08 seconds. Winner Benjamin Limo was so excited about winning that he named his new baby boy, Helsinki.

-- Brian Sell, marathon, 9th, 2:13:27, 1st American and fastest finish ever by an American in a world championship.

-- Clint Verran, marthon, 22nd, 2:17:42, 2nd American, improved his 39th place finish at the 2003 World Championships.

__/ MRN ON THE ROAD

-- TRAVERSE CITY-- A last minute change of plans took us to the Grand Traverse Resort and Spa last weekend for the Native American Cup golf tournament. Bernard Bouschor of the Sault Ste Marie Tribe credited Olympian gold medalist Billy Mills with inspiring their winning team:

"Billy Mills never gave up."

Rick Woods, coach of the MHSAA 2003 D4 girls champion cross country team, Traverse City St. Francis, was a member of the Grand Traverse Band golf team. Rick said, "Running makes me a better golfer." He credits running with the stronger legs and more endurance that help his golf game.
