Manhattan Invitational Girls Letter Race Preview Perry King Oct 11, 2013

Much of the days action at Van Cortlandt Park will be devoted to the Letter races, and there are great matches on hand for all. Time was a bit limited for pulling in info from all of the different states, and I have no clue about Canada (apologies to the Thousand Islands folks). Also apologies to non-NY teams if the rating scores don't quite capture your full strength, as some of the estimations are really tough. The following summaries should give at least some idea of what's in store for the girl's 6 Letter duels.

The Eastern States is rising up once more in Van Cortlandt Park in the Bronx, and 26 teams from New York to California and from Vermont to Virginia are gathering to take a shot at running down glory road. They've packed their bags and are taking on Manhattan.

The 6th running of the Boys Eastern States race at the Manhattan Invitational is about to go into stampede mode. Thirty-three teams in the race are coming to the Manhattan, and they'll be running in the Manhattan, but the question is, can they conquer the Manhattan? Only the turtle-and-the hare statue knows for sure, and it ain't telling until around 2:30 on Saturday.

MileSplit's Manhattan 2nd Annual T-Shirt Showoff! Perry King Oct 08, 2013

Last year was the teaser for the Manhattan T's Showoff. There was some doubt whether everyone could bring it, that you all could flaunt it with the best, that you could lay down the hurt on your opponents with a slogan on your tee that made theirs fade to oblivion. We said that we knew there were two main reasons why you runners head to the Manhattan Invitational. First is to show off your speed. Second -- and far more importantly -- to show off your tees. You survived some hard months of work grinding through the online shirt ordering sites,  and you used your teenage wasteland acumen to find the tee that perfectly described your then current slightly deranged state of mind, which has only gone more askew since. So you've done it all again and are ready to display the goods proudly on the Van Cortlandt Park Parade Grounds. Way to go! Now finish up strong!
