Anybody know who will have Lisa's race on in DSM Friday night? Buffalo Wild Wings? Looks like it's on one of NBC's branch stations??

The Register has a big article on Lisa currently at their site, and on their iPad version. It looks like it is in tomorrow's newspaper (not today's).

U.S. Olympic Trials: Lisa Uhl set to contend for Olympic berth

UHL'S DOUBLE DUTY

Lisa Uhl will have a shot at making the U.S. Olympic team in the 5,000 meters next week.

Uhl, who won NCAA titles in the 5,000 indoors and outdoors at Iowa State, faces a tougher challenge at that distance — with eight runners who already have met the “A” standard (time) that qualifies to be considered for one of three team spots.

In Friday night’s 10,000, just four American women have reached the “A” standard plateau.

“It will definitely be a lot more competitive,” Uhl said of the June 28 final in the 5,000. “If I make the team in the 10,000 and get it in the 5,000, that would just be icing on the cake.”

Former Iowa State NCAA champion Lisa Uhl — whose maiden name was Lisa Koll at Fort Dodge High School — competes tonight [Friday]in the 10,000-meter run at the U.S. Olympic Trials.

In doing research recently on my avatar, undefeated 3-time NCAA champion UNI wrestler Bill Koll, who also wrestled in the 1948 London Olympics, I saw articles that Lisa Koll was injured some in recent years. (I'm not sure whether there is any family relationship, perhaps unlikely, though both are from Fort Dodge.) The Register article didn't mention any injuries so hopefully Lisa is ready to peak.

The men are running the 10k now and it is raining hard. Good luck to Lisa and Meaghan tonight.

Right now Lisa is in third. What does she have to finish to advance?

Top 3, assuming they all have "A" qualification standard times.
If she finishes 4th, and one of the top 3 doesn't have an A standard time, then she will advance.

.......... I think.
