I believe that Mark Miller told me that he was running but that was before the heat wave. He finished third last year. Maybe he'll come on here and confirm.
If they ever have a 5Y I'll be a contestant (but hurry).
Yep, I'll be there. I've never been one to let a little heat (or anything else) stop me. I still hit the road running every morning. Hard to believe it's been over a decade since I ran track at North Texas, but my race times these days make that a little easier to believe. It will be neat to be a part of the first athletic event at the new stadium.
I look forward to seeing some of you at the 5K and the rest of you throughout the season.

Thanks, everyone! It was a tough day, but no excuses. I missed by personal best by less than 30 seconds. Now I have to get off my butt and break 2:40!
Fellow North Texas track alumnus Shane Wall placed 26th overall in 2:44.
See you at the Super Pit this winter!
Go Mean Green!

Here's the story.

This concludes a great college career for Ms. Clark. Making it to the NCAA meet (even if not making the finals) in track puts one in very elite company.

The North Texas women claimed their first ever conference championship in track & field last night. The men were third. Here is a link from the official site.

I have some specific times for the meet for May 10 & 11. Running events will start at 6:00 p.m. on both Saturday and Sunday. Sunday will be the best day to go as it will be all finals and the race for the team title will conclude that night. In terms of when it is held, from the athlete's perspective, it is the perfect weekend to have the conference championships. Final exams are over and the athletes can forget about school and tests for a while and just compete. Believe me, that's a huge thing. Hold it a week earlier and it interferes with finals. Hold it a week later and it cuts too close to the NCAA's new regional meet.

This is just a little forward notice that the Sun Belt Outdoor Track Championships will be at Fouts Field on May 9-11, about 3 weeks away. This could be a good excuse for a little Mean Green get together before we go to Norman in August.

I got this e-mail from the athletic department today. FYI

Here is a link to the results from the Sun Belt Indoor Track Championships. The Blue Raiders won both the men's and women's titles.

UNT swimmer and diver were named Sun Belt athletes of the week. Just thought I would give some props to a sport that doesn't get much attention.
The story from the Sun Belt site:

Mark Miller
Class of 2000; BBA-Finance
I currently live in Carrollton (I miss being in Denton, but the commute to North Dallas was too much.) I made every home fb game, 3 road games, and the N.O. Bowl, and have been a season ticket holder for football, men's and women's basketball since graduation.

I just wanted to send a Merry Christmas wish to the entire Mean Green Nation. UNT has much to be thankful for this year- Chancellor Jackson, Dr. Pohl, RV, DD, JJ, a New Orleans Bowl victory, over 30,000 enrollment, a new engineering school, a law school on the horizon, new facilities on the way, ect. I hope each of you will get to spend some time with your families and loved ones this week. Until we gather at the next game, have a great Christmas and a happy new year.

I'll be there.

Reb, there are no scholarships for cross country. They are offered as part of track's allotment. It makes c.c. a budgetary winner for sure...no scholarships, limited travel, very little equipment.

I have not met Mrs. Hansen yet, but her resume is hard to argue with. She has had success as an athlete and a coach. She was a member of the 1984 Olympic team...that's the sort of thing that gets a recruit's attention. The only question is if a female coach will be able to win the respect of the male runners. I think it will help that she has skins on the wall.

RIP Max Goldsmith '47
in Mean Green Athletics
Posted
After Coach Goldsmith retired, he officiated at track meets for many years. It was in that role that I got to know him during my days on the North Texas track team. He was always quick with a smile and a great story. Everyone who knew the man spoke of him in reverential terms. He was truly one of a kind and will be missed.
