Stanford Invitational, 4-5 April 2014, results courtesy of David Kiefer/Stanford Athletics

The Stanford Invitational, for those of us who have spent time in Northern California, is a rite of early spring. Many teams from the frigid Midwest come out for a first meet in the nice weather of California, and also get some now snow covered training in.

Some fine performances for early season. The big Invite is the Payton Jordan Invitational, on May 4, the meet for distance geeks. This year, Molly Huddle, we hear, will be racing over 10,000 meters, as will some serious male athletes in the always fantastic Kim McDonald 10,000 meters. RunBlogRun will hope to see you there!

Special thanks to David Kiefer, of Stanford Sports Information, who provides us with great releases and results all year long. He is a welcome SID staffer who gets track and field.
