Final USATF MN Standings for 2017

The TC 10 Mile last month was the last race in the 2017 USATF MN series. (Last year, it was the 15K relay at Fort Snelling, but they switched things up this year.) So here were the men's team results from the "Blue Division" from the TC 10 Mile:

Our team was 5th out of 7 teams.

The Blue Division is for "newer" and/or "smaller" teams, and I jokingly refer to it as the "JV Division." The "Varsity Division" (AKA "Red Division") is CRAZY fast. Look at the top runners on THESE teams:

I wouldn't have been a scoring runner on the top 7 teams!
(9 teams total, but only the top 8 shown above.)

Being that was the last race, the overall yearly standings have been tallied. Here's the final 2017 results:

4th out of 8. A looooong way from the top (looking at the points total).


Our women's team was 4th out of 9. And just a FEW points from winning.


Our 40+ men's team was 4th too.


Our women's 40+ team had fewer runners, so they were 7th out of 12.


We scored a few times in the 50+ men's team.
This is from both divisions combined, so they were 7th out of 11.

I haven't fully committed to run for the team again next year, but I'm pretty sure I will. It's a lot of great races, and it's fun to race for more than just yourself. Nice job team! Hope you see you all at the team potluck shortly!
