The 302 Tournament

History: The 302 Tournament started humbly enough as a competition between members of the St. Olaf Men's Cross-Country Team competed solely for pride. In the beginning the Tournament was administered using pieces of paper that were taped around the living room of 302 in the order the competitors finished. Legend has it that the brackets would remain up for the entire year until the next tournament so the Champions could relive their triumphs and the losers would not forget their shortcomings. The Tournament has developed into a bigger, higher-tech endeavor with cash prizes, but at the same time recognizes and remembers solemnly its noble roots. Take some time to stroll through the 302 NCAA Tournament's Hall of Champions.

Year	Name	Special Notes
2002	Malcolm J. Richards	Malcolm endured much ridicule early in the Tournament but proved triumphant and earned his legacy. Beware the kick in the "Malcolms"!
2001	Jeffrey T. Boerner	Jeff started the tournament shaky, but rallied from the second day on to capture the title convincingly. This inaugural winner of the tournament has his legacy forever tied to a running route in Northfield. The Boerner loop will live on.
