The USA Track & Field Prelim results are available for the TC 10 Mile...  Team R.E.D. just keeps on kickin' it... the most notable of the results are related to the Men's Masters division... Team R.E.D. took 1st Place in our Division! 

Congrats to Chris R, Tom W and Tom O for cashing in the results to make it happen!   Chris's 7 Minute PR in the race surely helped seal the deal.
