USATF Minnesota Long Distance Running Chair Ed Whetham recently announced the association's Cross Country Circuit for 2008. While the date and location of the Minnesota Championships (which counts for double points in the Circuit) are still being decided, the bulk of the series is set.

The USATF-MN Open and Masters CC Championships will likely be held in conjunction with the Junior Olympics Championships as in past years. However, details are still in flux. According to Whetham, the goal is to provide an opportunity for open men to run a 10k and open women a 6k at the championship event. More details will be provided as they become available.
Whetham noted that rules and scoring will remain the same as the 2007 Circuit. Contact Whetham at ldr@usatfmn.org for more information.
I thought the scoring was to be the same as last years cross circuit, not the same as this last years 2008 circuit. The new scoring didn't go over well. Can you clarify from Ed? Thanks.
