The postseason is fast approaching and a handful of major regular season meets have wrapped up in recent weeks. That, in turn, is expected to make this weekend's distance running action a bit quieter (but certainly not silent) by comparison.


So...what do we do now?


I thought now would be a good time to poll you, our readers, on where your feelings are regarding a variety of different topics, specifically for Division Three.


Also, if you haven't already, be sure to go check out our Division One poll, as well as our Division Two poll, and enter your votes there!

NOTE: All votes are anonymous. Only one vote allowed per polling question. Be sure to click the "See All Options" button at the bottom of each poll to see a full list of voting options for each question. It may take a minute or two for votes to be reflected in the aggregate total of each poll.
