It may have been a quiet holiday weekend for you -- it was for DtB -- but for a handful of Minnesota's top middle and long distance runners, it was a busy Independence Day Holiday. Whether competing in Europe or at far-flung domestic locales, Minnesota's best were tangling with some of the best in the world.
Here's a round-up ...
Dorniden Runs Season Best ... Team USA Minnesota's Heather Dorniden, who fell and was not advanced in the prelims of the 800-meters at the USA Outdoor Championship in June, got a measure of redemption with a second-place, 2:02.43 clocking at her signature distance in the Leon Buyle Memorial Meet in Oordegem-Lede, Belgium on July 3.
Also finishing second at the meet was Team USA Teammate Gabriele Anderson. The recent Gopher alum ran 4:15.71 for 1500m there. Fellow teammate Meghan Armstrong was 6th in the event in 4:18.20.

Garrett Heath Runs 3:40.3 ... Winona native Garrett Heath clocked an eighth-place, 3:40.3 1500m at the IAAF Atletismo Meet in Madrid on July 2. Kenya's Remmy Limo Ndiwa won the race in 3;36.2
