t-and-f: Baton Rouge nationals entrants posted
Greetings, all Entry lists are now online for the USATF Baton Rouge masters nationals at the end of this month. Go to the main page at: http://www.brasf.com/masters.htm Click on "Registered Competitors" at the bottom left. I note a number of names misspelled -- and some very skimpy fields, such as two entries in the M40 high jump. But a lot of good matchups are here as well, including some medalists at WAVA going against non-Brisbane athletes who COULD have medaled, such as Peter Grimes in sprints and hurdles. Anyhoo -- Bon appetit! Ken Stone http://www.masterstrack.com

Although we're still lagging behind the rest of the world in the LJ/TJ (no woman in the top 30 all-time) it is "encouraging" to at least have two athletes with an A qualifier in the TJ. When was the last time that happened?

t-and-f: USATF Release: Carter named Athlete of the Week
Shawn Touney USATF Communications Intern 317-261-0478, ext. 357 [EMAIL PROTECTED] INDIANAPOLIS - Fifteen-year old Michelle Carter, who set a national age division record in the intermediate girl's shot put this past weekend at the USATF Youth Athletics National Championships in Decatur, Ill., has been named USATF Athlete of the Week. Carter tossed the shot 14.99 meters/49 feet, 02.25 inches, breaking the record in her age division (15-16 year olds) by nearly three feet. Earlier in the week, Carter won the discus with a throw of 43.73m/143-06. For her performances, Carter was named Verizon Outstanding Female Athlete of the Meet. She will be competing as one of 53 U.S. athletes at the 2001 IAAF World Youth Championships taking place in Debrecen, Hungary, July 12-15. Carter will be throwing the shot at the international meet. To read a short feature on Carter, visit the USATF web site at http://www.usatf.org/. Other top performers last week included Maurice Greene, who equaled his 2001 world-leading mark in the men's 100m by clocking a 9.90 at the Lausanne Grand Prix. Other top marks at Lausanne included Jeff Hartwig (5.90m/19-4.25, men's pole vault, world leader), Tim Broe (7:39.45, men's 3,000m, national leader), Bryan Berryhill (3:35.56, men's 1,500m, betters "A" standard for World Championships), Angelo Taylor (47.95, men's 400m hurdles, world leader), Regina Jacobs (1:59.07, women's 800m, national leader), and Jenny Adams (12.68, women's 100m hurdles, national leader). At the Paris Grand Prix, Marion Jones ran the women's 100m in a world-leading time of 10.84. Other top marks at Paris included Allen Johnson (13.15, men's 110m hurdles, world leader), Seneca Lassiter (3:34.32, men's 1,500m, betters "A" standard), and Suzy Favor Hamilton (4:02.64, women's 1,500m, national leader). At the Nice Grand Prix, Elizabeth Jackson set an American record in the women's 3,000m steeplechase, by running the event in 9:43.36. This marks the fourth time this year that Jackson has broken the record. At Madrid, Spain, David Krummenacker ran the 800m in 1:45.82, which betters the "A" standard for the World Championships. USATF's Athlete of the Week program is designed to recognize outstanding performers at all levels of the sport. USATF names a new honoree each Tuesday and features the athlete on the USATF Web site.

t-and-f: IOC shocked by athletes drug intake
The Irish Times Tuesday, July 10, 2001 A new study has revealed what Olympic chiefs called an "astonishing" amount of drug taking by competitors at last year's Sydney Games with athletes admitting to taking an average of six to seven types of medication each. The substances, such as anti-asthma products, multi-vitamins and pain-killers, are not banned by the International Olympic Committee (IOC) if needed for medical treatment. But IOC medical chief Patrick Schamasch said today that the high number had surprised officials. "The average was six to seven per athlete. The highest was 29 substances taken by one competitor," Schamasch said. "It is astonishing. It is quite an impressive number." The study, which is due to be published in August, analysed the number of drugs that athletes said they were taking before undergoing routine tests for banned substances. Competitors are obliged to fill in a form detailing any medication they are using before giving a urine sample. It was the first time that a study of this kind had been conducted at the Olympics. Olympic chiefs usually study data on banned substances that they find in an athlete's body, such as steroids, stimulants or growth hormones. "Some filled in four to five lines (of substances)," said Schamasch who is a qualified doctor. Asked if he had ever taken seven substances at once, he replied: "Never seven." Anti-asthma drugs, which can contain performance-enhancing products, provide the biggest worry to Schamasch who presented a report to the IOC's ruling executive board on the second day of a meeting in the Russian capital. Earlier this year the IOC said it was worried by the abnormal number of competitors taking drugs to treat asthma and plans to tighten up the rules on the substances at future Olympics. The IOC won one battle in the war against doping last year when it introduced a new test for EPO, a dangerous substance which boosts the number of red cells in the blood and is believed by doping experts to be abused by some competitors in endurance events. The test, used on competitors before the Sydney Games, involves analysis of urine and blood. But Schamasch said the IOC was working on validating a test just for urine which would make testing easier for sports federations. He said he hoped to have a result in the next month.

But I have still seen nothing that would indicate that preparations are in the works for the US relay squads at Worlds !!! We sit barely 3 weeks away and I'm not even sure if we have decided who the squads will be let alone given any thought to "practicing" ... Maybe what we need is to lose all four disciplines ... Maybe then the realization will hit that we actually need to "prepare" in order to compete on the world level ... Am I missing something here ?? Darrell or someone, where are we on this ??? Limbo ??

Since she was an open athlete competing under NCAA rules, some statisticians have chosen to turn a blind eye to that incident (since a false start DQ is usually counted as a loss), given that she was operating under different circumstances than any international competitors (like Ottey) might have been. Our sport is sooo simple to follow, isn't it? gh
t-and-f: Marion Jones' winning streak approaching record
After yesterday's win at Nice, it's been reported that Marion now has won 50 straight 100 meters races. (Don't know if this figure is accurate and whether or not it includes preliminary round races.) If 50 is indeed correct, Marion is getting close to the greatest women's track running streak ever: 57 also at 100 meters by Merlene Ottey from 1987-1991. Some field event streaks have been longer, the ultimate being 150 by high jumper Iolanda Balas. A case could be made that Marion already has the record and that Ottey's streak should only be 45. At the '88 Olympics Ottey won her 1st round heat and was 2nd in the quarter final, but then scratched from the semi with bronchial problems. Looking at win streaks, usually a competition loss is charged only if an athlete fails to advance from a heat, but Ottey was qualified and withdrew.

Thanks for this info. Do note, though, that Gaby Szabo's "tremendous Kick" is being laughed off weekly by the Russian trio, recently... UG -Original Message-From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of [EMAIL PROTECTED]Sent: Tuesday, July 10, 2001 3:31 AMTo: [EMAIL PROTECTED]Subject: t-and-f: World Championship Media Release July 9 2001July 9, 2001 MEDIA RELEASE Defending champions set sights on Edmonton Only one man has ever been crowned 100m world champion at three consecutive world championships -Carl Lewis, one of the greatest athletes of the century. His domination covered an eight year period from 1983 (Helsinki) to 1991 in Tokyo, the world championships being held four years apart in those days. Now Maurice Greene is poised to match this esteemed record in Edmonton. The Kansas City Flash beat the reigning Olympic and world champion, Donovan Bailey to win his first gold medal in Athens four years ago and then held off another Canadian, Bruny Surin in Seville in 1999. In between he broke Bailey's world 100m record with a staggering time of 9.79 seconds. But Greene is not the only reigning world champion to put his reputation on the line at Commonwealth Stadium. A year ago Marion Jones won three Olympic gold medals in Sydney and added a silver and bronze too. Clearly the dominant female sprinter of this generation Jones, the former University of North Carolina basketball star, will also be aiming for her third consecutive world championship 100m gold medal. She currently leads the world with a magnificent 10.84 second clocking recorded in Paris. Spectators will also have the opportunity to see Jones perform in the 200m event and for the U.S. sprint relay team. Hicham El Guerrouj of Morocco struck 1,500m gold at the previous two world championships and judging by his early season performances is a good bet to do the magic triple. However, he will have to defeat Noah Ngeny, the Kenyan who was once his pace maker and who upset El Guerrouj in Sydney last year . Then there is the surprise of the year Ali Saidi -Sief of Algeria who blew away a world class field, which included Ngeny to win the Athletissima Grand Prix meeting in Lausanne on July 4th. Distance running sensation Gabriela Szabo, who won over a million U.S. in prize money during the 1999 season alone, is also aiming for her third consecutive 5,000m gold medal. The Romanian possesses a tremendous finishing kick and an appetite for winning. There are many other three time world champions focusing on Edmonton including 800m runner Wilson Kipketer the former Kenyan who became a Danish citizen then rewarded his new country with a world record of 1:41.11 ; Cuba's Ivan Pedroso who won the long jump in Goteborg, Seville and Athens; Astrid Kumbernuss, the German shot put hero and her countryman Lars Riedel three time discus champion. All have accomplished the hat trick - can they now make it four? The 8th IAAF World Championships in Athletics is expected to bring more than 3,000 athletes, coaches and officials from more than 200 countries, to Edmonton, Alberta, Canada to compete in 24 men's and 22 women's athletic events, August 3rd through 12th, 2001. More than 2,500 media are also expected to attend and provide coverage around the world. The IAAF World Championships in Athletics is the third-largest sporting event in the world, based on a world-wide television audience of four billion viewers anticipated to tune in during the 10 days of competition. The IAAF World Championships in Athletics is third in scope only to the Summer Olympics and World Cup Soccer.
