Harold Kuphaldt (Bella Vista) & Charles Alexander: A FootLocker (Kinney) Championship Blast from the Past. In 1981 Harold Kuphaldt (Bella Vista) was not only the best in NorCal but most likely the State. Charles Alexander (St Christopher, VA) was the best for private schools but was untested against the rest. For the story (and some grainy video) check out this link. Below, the two meet up again at the 2013 Dublin Distance Classic.

"Elves & the Shoemaker": I open on Fri (Nov 29th) at 7:00pm at Tabard Theater so if you're not going to States, you should be there! I play Erlan (a big elf, think Will Ferrell in "Elf") who helps make shoes for the Shoemaker (Grimms Fairy tale). I also have FREE tickets for you. Opening night (11/29) or Saturday (11/30), both at 7:00pm, I can "comp" you in to the show but you must email me at HankLawTrack@Gmail.Com OR you can come to our "preview night" on Wednesday (Nov 27th at 8:00pm) and just walk in and set down (you should arrive at 7:45ish to get seated). The theater is in San Pedro Square in downtown San Jose and if you park in the City garage across the street the theater will validate your parking for free as well! You can go other dates as well but then you'll have to pay (and the second weekend my "double" is doing my part, not me). Hope to see you at the show...

Hank Lawson: Track Question... Coaches - Do you have a FinishLynx system and want to train your parents on how to use it, or want to learn yourself? I'm trying to find out if there is an interest in a one day Lynx class that myself and Jim Clark will teach (free of charge) if there is enough interest (6 folks needed). It would be on one of these 2 dates (Saturday, Jan 11 or Jan 18). Email me your interest (by Dec 1st) and preference of date and if I get enough folks I will contact you by Dec 3rd with the date and exact location at Los Gatos HS. It would be in the morning at Los Gatos HS and then we'd move the gear out to the track and time the All-Comer meet so you'd get lots of practice with people there to help you. You could also come back in future weeks to continue to time the All-Comer meets so by the time track starts you'd be a real pro at Lynx. Email me by Dec 1st if this sounds of interest, I would want at least 6 people in order to hold the clinic.
