Great Northwest

So the spectre of swine flu (yep, I'm calling it "swine") cancels -- not postpones, not delays -- the Great Northwest Athletic Conference meet scheduled in Monmouth, Ore. Most notably, this affects Alaska-Anchorage distance runners. Looks like those athletes will compete at nearby Pacific University's Pacific Twilight meet. 

What other meets might feel the "pandemic impact?"

Fast 5s

Between the three schools, Abilene Christian (1), Adams State (4!), and Western State (2) put seven runners under 14 minutes in the various 5000m races at Mt. SAC Relays. (Adams State nearly had a fifth at 14:05). Nice work.

The small-school effort of the night might have been the 13:33 by Azusa Pacific's Aron Rono. Of course, if your name is Rono, you'd better be fast.

Not sure what D2 squads might be off to Drake and Penn, but I'll keep track.
