No, you'll have to hold off on making your airline and hotel reservations for now.

I am just glad the weather for USATF XC Champs will match Berlin in 2009. The last two USATF XC Champs have been completely opposite in terms of weather vs World Cross!
USATF has finally got it right! Now what will be the selection process for World and the prize money?
I believe the 2009 World XC meet is set for Amman, Jordan which would be the 3rd year in a row that the US selection site's weather/course are polar opposite from the world venue.
crap USATF got it wrong again...sorry about my earlier post. i thought with craig masback out of the pic, usatf would get USATF xc champs right!
USATF doesn't have a hell of a lot of choice in who bids for the meet. Besides, what does it matter? How the team members perform usually isn't unduly impacted by the conditions.
think about monitoring usatf.org -> Calendar -> National Championships
The race is Feb. 7, 2009.
This should clear up some of the questions posted here.
