Vol State 500K (Friday night update):
36 hours into the race, the crewed race leader checked in at mile 160, and has a 31-mile lead. The screwed leader was at mile 122, with just a 2-mile lead.
Of the 121 starters, 13 have since called it quits. Daily high temperatures are going to be at or near 100 until next Thursday, so lots of attrition is likely before then.

ZOU-MANIA (posted July 2nd)
Tucker Seise nearly pulled off a complete sweep at the inaugural Zou-Mania event last weekend in Columbia. The Friday evening and Saturday morning event included four races of varying distances--1-mile, 2.8-mile, 5K and 10K. The races had staggered starting times, so participants could compete in all of them.
Tucker won the 1-mile, 2.8-mile, and 5K races. He took second in the 10K, and the 10K's King of the Hill quarter-mile challenge, both behind a runner from New Jersey. Here are the results for our Lake-area runners:
