Here are some more information for Rear Cover Race:
For the Michigan State women's cross-country team, the time to win is now. And believe you me, the Spartans have made that decision really clear recently.
Fresh off winning the Big Ten Conference title, Michigan State's women showed the same great talent and resilience in once again running to victory with the individual and team titles at the 2010 NCAA Great Lakes Regional championship meet.
Senior Emily MacLeod again led the Spartans by winning the 6-kilometer race in 20:18.76, successfully defending her individual title that she first won in last year's race.
MacLeod was followed in by junior Carlie Green (a sensational 6th-place finish in 20:41.98), junior Rebekah Smeltzer (an outstanding 11th-place finish in 20:53.17), sophomore Kristen Smith (30th in 21:32.19) and freshman Julia Otwell (32nd in 21:38.27). Their overall average time was 21:00.88, a hair from under 21 flat.
The Spartans were the only team to place 3 runners in the top 15 - MacLeod (1st), Green (6th) and Smeltzer (11th).
Michigan State's winning score of 80 was 16 points better than arch-rival Michigan's 96, as the Wolverines had to settle for 2nd place once again (they finished as runner-up to Michigan State in the Big Ten Conference championships).
The next 8 teams in were Toledo (3rd with 130), Ohio State (4th with 139), Indiana (5th with 167), Notre Dame (6th with 207), Miami-Ohio (7th with 220), Central Michigan (8th with 232), Dayton (9th with 248), and Wisconsin (10th with 266).
The Great Lakes Regional at Oakland (MI) University featured 33 teams and 231 runners on the 3.72-mile course.
Spartan sophomore Katie Haines was 74th and freshman Sara Kroll was 88th.
MacLeod ran a strong and smart race. "I was just really trying to stay relaxed and calm," said MacLeod, "I knew the Toledo girl was going to go out fast. I just stayed back, stuck to my strategy and everything worked out."
"Emily came out today not really wanting to lead after knowing the strategy of several of the other runners," said Walt Drenth, Michigan State's Director of Cross-Country.
"She kept her poise throughout the whole race. Prior to the race we talked about minimizing both her mental and physical efforts in preparation of the NCAA Championships," continued Drenth.
"After staying back for some of the race, (she) caught up with the leaders with about 400 meters to go, and then took off to win the race. When you come into a race as the defending champion, you really have a lot of people looking to take a run at you. She handled the expectations well and it showed the type of person she is, as well as the type of team Michigan State is. It is about the team, not the individual."
By winning, Michigan State automatically qualified for the 2010 NCAA championship meet. By winning the individual title, Emily MacLeod became the first Spartan ever to win back-to-back championships. Her win was also the 3rd straight by Michigan State as Nicole Bush won the individual title in 2008, running 20:48.5.
Michigan State also won back-to-back Great Lakes titles in 2006 and 2007. Last year the Spartan women finished 5th in the team competition.
Emily MacLeod was subsequently named 2010 Great Lakes Region Female Athlete of the Year for the second straight year, and Director Walt Drenth was named Great Lakes Women's Coach of the Year.
The Wisconsin men again dominated this year's Great Lakes Regional meet, putting together a dream 2-6-7-8-9 finish to win with 32 points to runner-up Indiana's 76 points.
This time the Badgers were led by sophomore Reed Conner (2nd in 30:28.70), sophomore Maverick Darling (6th in 30:31.61), junior Elliot Krause (7th in 30:31.79), sophomore Mohammed Ahmed (8th in 30:31.85), and senior Landon Peacock (9th in 30:32.02). Their average winning time was 30:31.20 over the 10-kilometer (6.2 mile) course.
Do you think that Wisconsin has a chance of repeating again next year? Are you serious, mate? They appear to have a lock on the men's competition for some years to come.
Wisconsin's 6th finisher, junior Phil Thomas, was 23rd in 30:51.93. If you think that was not fast enough, consider this thought: his time would have had him finishing 3rd in scoring on 28 of the 31 teams in the competition.
The message: do not mess with the men Badgers when they are running, or cornered with no way out - you will likely be watching their backsides throughout the race.
Cincinnati's Eric Finan won the individual title in 30:25.34, a 4:53.8 average per mile.
Michigan State's men were 5th with senior Patrick Grosskopf finishing 13th in 30:39.06. He earned all-region honors for the second consecutive year, and qualified for the NCAA finals as an individual.

Want to win races with ease? Get hold of Nissan and Pontiac Engines
Nissan, like every other car manufacturer uses a unique method for naming their engines. The Nissan engine designation is broken up into parts. The first few letters represent Nissan engine family, the next digits stand for displacement in decilitres and the remaining letters stand for features of the engine. When Nissan first started this nomenclature, most engines were carbureted, non-turbocharged and usually used a single camshaft. As technology advanced, Nissan engines needed classification for easy differentiation between various versions. The solution was to add letters to the base designation that indicated the difference.
Nissan RB 20 is one such engine model. This is a 2.0 to 3.0 L straight-6-four stroke petrol or gasoline Nissan engine. This comes in two versions SOHC and DOHC and both these have aluminium heads. All RB engines have belt driven cams and cast iron block. Almost all turbo models come with an intercooled turbo which has a re-circulating factory blow off valve. Nissan A 31 is a famous model that was released in Sep 1988 for the first time in Japanese market. This model included several hi-tech features like HICAS 4-wheel steering, sonar controlled electronic damping, automatic head lights and automatic electric car rear view mirror. The A 31 Cefiro had several features similar to RB series straight-6 engines that included intercooled turbo RB20DET. In the introductory stage it was overlooked just as any other sedan but in later times it became very popular. Stimulated by the relatively cheap price of this car when compared to other models, this car gained huge popularity in various countries.
The development of Pontiac can be traced in the year 1946, when engineers started considering new engine designs for post war cars. Pontiac is a division of General Motors that manufactured its own V8 engines. Pontiac engines were used in the US car market. These V8 engines were in use in 1932 also.
These engines have an overhead valve with wedge combustion chambers and used cast iron cylinder heads and cast iron blocks. The most innovative feature in Pontiac engine was mounting of rocker arms on ball pivots rather than being separated by rocker shaft. This allowed better valve action with less pressure than the conventional shaft. All Pontiac V8 engines except 301, 265 and 303 Ram Air V engines have used 6.625 connecting rods.
Pontiac engine come with ‘gusher’ that assists in reverse cooling system. Later these models underwent minor alterations in the year 1960 for improving power steering pump and avoid corrosion issues. Most of the Pontiac engines were painted light blue. The famous 389 version of V8 Pontiac engine was called the trophy or tempest V8 engine. Pontiac engines are in fact one of the few US manufacturers that did not identify its engine names and sizes with air cleaners or valve cover decals.
V8 Pontiac engines were first launched as Strato streak models. However, seeing the growing popularity of this model, within a short span of time the management decided to introduce V8 model in the entire line of Pontiac models.
