Nike Heartland Region Cross Country Meet (11.10.13)

Today I spent most of my day covering the Nike Heartland Region cross country meet.

It was a pretty good cross country meet.

It was also a pretty huge meet. I'm not really sure how runners were chosen, but people came from Iowa, South Dakota, North Dakota, Nebraska, Kansas, Wisconsin and Minnesota.

I always find big running events a bit chaotic, but I was fortunate enough to ride along on a golf cart, and that made things ten times better.

It still seemed a bit chaotic, but I'm happy with what I came away with.

Here are a few of my favorite images from the meet. Many more can be seen here.
