The scene was set.  North Star High School Track had been warmed up by a number of local rec runners and elites in some open races.  The sun was setting.  A small crowd had gathered to witness history.  Competitors were amped.  Drinks had been set out and 15 dozen doughnuts were awaiting the racers in the exchange zone.  The challenge:  to consume a half dozen doughnuts in the middle of completing 5 circuits of the track. 13 brave soles took on their nerves and steeled themselves for the effort.  12 finished.

Seriously, thanks to everyone who came out and supported North Star Cross Country. The track meet itself was free and open to anyone, thanks to those folks as well.  Results for all events can be found below.  I tried to get photos of everyone in the Doughnut Race, I failed.  My apologies to you, I tried.  Some samples below, the full set is off the right of the homepage.
