At Graham Crouch’s memorial some weeks ago, thoughts naturally turned to some of ‘Gruffy’s’ greatest runs. The memorial was conducted at Hagenauer Reserve, home to Box Hill Athletic Club. As a committed Box Hill member, Crouch ran some of his best races at the track, including a 3:56.7 mile there...
At the recent Tarawera Ultra Marathon in New Zealand, 38 year old Alberta based athlete, Ailsa Macdonald, turned a lot of heads, finishing 3rd overall, smashing some huge name make athletes.

Continuing my meandering paper chase through our world cross-country history, we come to the 1977 and 1979 championships in Dusseldorf and Limerick, respectively. The former saw Australia continue to move up with the debut of three 20-year-olds who would be the nucleus of future teams. But – whatever happened to the women? Followers of cross-country are used to seeing young runners make significant debuts. Did someone say Kenenisa Bekele? Or Zola Budd who, like Bekele, was a senior world champion before her 20 th birthday. Bekele, indeed, not only won the short-lived short race in 2001, but did the double a year later, all still three months before turning 20.
Runner's Tribe caught up with the 2019 NCAA 1500m champion, Sinclaire Johnson, as she navigates her way through her first year of life as a pro, and gears up for a shot at the 2020 Olympic Team.
