More than 350 teams and 4,000 runners are expected to compete today in the 22nd annual Roy Griak Invitational, one of the nation's largest cross-country meets.
The meet, which has 10 races involving college or high school teams, will start at 9 a.m. at the University of Minnesota Les Bolstad Golf Course in Falcon Heights. The Division I men's and women's races will be at 12:10 and 12:55 p.m., respectively.
The Gophers men's team, rated No. 18 in the nation, finished second in this meet last year.
The 25-team women's field will include No. 8 Minnesota and defending champion California-Santa Barbara.
FSN reporter let go
FSN North studio host and reporter Ron Johnson was fired by the network on Thursday.
The Chaska native had worked at FSN North since July 2005, serving mainly as a reporter on Twins and Wild games in recent months; his contract does not expire until the end of December.
Johnson said he would like to continue working in the Twin Cities and would begin considering his options.
Telly Hughes, who has been at the CW affiliate in St. Louis since 2005, is expected to replace Johnson in mid-October.
