t-and-f: Pierce O'Callaghan eliminated on first vote . . .
http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport/hi/english/athletics/newsid_1957000/1957787.stm Athletics Ireland's international secretary Chris Wall was the major casualty at the organisation's inaugural congress in Galway over the weekend. Wall had served as general-secretary of the previous Irish governing body BLE from 1984 and then continued in the position when the Athletics Association of Ireland was formed in 2000. The Dubliner was defeated by Liam Hennessy who has served in a number of high-profile positions within the Irish athletics hierarchy over the last 15 years. Tipperary man Hennessy defeated Wall by 138 votes to 70. Pierce O'Callaghan and Paddy Hayden, the two other candidates for the most high-profile position in Irish athletics, were eliminated on the first count. McGonigle re-elected Wall's last major role during his stint as general-secretary was to act as meeting director for the recent World Cross Country Championships at Leopardstown. Hennessy served as chief media relations officer at the championships. Former NACA president Michael Heery was voted as the new AAI president as outgoing officer Nick Davis didn't seek re-election. Patsy McGonigle (vice-president), Georgina Drumm (secretary) and Paddy Marley (competitions secretary) were all elected unopposed. Michael Quinlan saw off a challenge from Rita Brady to hold on to the treasurer's position.

t-and-f: Winslow Twp
Netters: It isn't often that a brand new HS finds itself in the 1600R final at penn, but, in a way, it happened this year when Winslow Twp finished 6th in the race in 3:17.84. Of course, this is only technically a new school since it is, under another name, the same Edgewood HS which should have won the race back in 1984 (when Dennis Mitchell was its anchor leg), but lost when its 3rd man, Lee Jerkins (about the same size as Dennis) was unceremoniously dumped into the infield by the six-foot giants on all sides of him, juggling for position. (That team later returned to Franklin Field and set a NJ state recoird which lasted until a year ago and was then beaten by Camden HS. What happened since last year was the bereakup of a regional district that included Overbrook HS and Edgewood. Overbrook chose to retain its name, but Edgerwood took the name of the township in which it is located. The present team is composed of two sets of brothers, junior twins Duan 948.8) and Dante (48.2) Freeman and Antraye and Anthony (49.3) Miles. Anthony is a junior; Abtraye's class status is unknown to me at this time, unless he has adopted a new first name (there was a Tyrone Miles on he team last year who was a junior at that time). At any rate, obviously a team to watch in the future. Jusrt for the record, NJ did have a true first-year school win the race back in 1940, Northern Valley HS of Demarest, a brand new regional district. created from two small; Gr. I districts and other towns which sent their students to various high schools. Their time was 3:21.5 for the mile, very creditable in that era. Converted to 3:20.4 for the metric distance and allowing for the difference in cinder and all-weather tracks, they might well have made the final this time. Ed Grant

t-and-f: IAAF: Can Renders follow Rousseau?
I think Belgian runner Marleen Renders will have difficulties competing for WC half marathon gold after her recent Paris marathon, but the organisation seems optimistic... Regards, LS PRESS RELEASE FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE International Association of Athletics Federations Association Internationale des Fédérations dAthlétisme CAN RENDERS FOLLOW ROUSSEAUS GOLDEN RULE IN BRUSSELS? 30 April 2002 Monte-Carlo When the 11th IAAF World Half Marathon Championships are staged in Brussels this Sunday 5 May, it will be the second time that this particular World Athletic Series event will have been hosted by Belgiums capital city. On the 3 October 1993, during the second edition of the World Half Marathon Championships, a Belgium athlete captured the mens gold to the delight of the local crowd. The master of Brussels that day was Vincent Rousseau, then a 31year old Belgium army corporal, who took his place in road race history after a career littered by many disappointing performances on the track. Rousseau possessed amazing versatility, since he was a 3:36 1500m man who could also run 5000m in 13:10 and 10,000m in 27:23 but it was his sprint victory on 3 October 1993, in a national record of 61:06, that saw him breakthough into world class. Belgium has two good medal chances for the 2002 Championship as well, Mohammed Mourhit, twice a World Cross Country Champion, in the mens race and national record holder Marleen Renders in the womens contest. Currently in brilliant form, Renders won the recent Paris Marathon with a near solo effort in a new personal best of 2:23:05 on 7 April, beating her previous best (2:23:43) which she set when winning the 2000 Paris title. Renders also won the 1995 Antwerp and 1998 Berlin Marathons, has a World Half Marathon history which nearly stretches as far back as Rousseaus win, with a 7th place finish in 1994 and 13th in 1995. Renders recently set a new personal best at half marathon with 1:08:56 in the Hague on 23 March 2002, when finishing a close second behind Kenyas Lenah Cheriyot (1:08:54) who is in the Kenyan team for Brussels. Like Rousseau, Renders has a versatile running pedigree. She is a former World junior record holder at 10,000m, has run 5000m in 15:19 and 10,000m in 31:03. The question this Sunday will be whether Renders opts for Rousseaus wait and see philosophy counting on a final sprint or opts for a solo effort, similar to her run in Paris. Whatever Renders decision it is certain that she, along with Mohammed Mourhit will offer Belgium her best hope of medal honours, when a record 64 countries take to the streets of Brussels for the IAAF World Half Marathon Championships.

t-and-f: IAAF Pays damages in Krabbe case
full story at sportserver.com BERLIN (April 30, 2002 07:58 AM EDT) - German sprinter Katrin Krabbe won her battle with the International Association of Athletics Federations (IAAF) on Tuesday when the world governing body agreed to pay her unspecified damages. The 31-year-old East German-born Krabbe, who was crowned 100-meter and 200m world champion in 1991, had been awarded $660,000 by a Munich court last June when the IAAF were found to have acted excessively in extending a one year ban imposed by her national federation for taking clenbuterol in 1992 by another two. The IAAF had appealed against the original decision but agreed to the deal in front of the Munich court of appeal. "The IAAF have agreed to draw a line under the eight year legal affair with Katrin Krabbe," read a prepared statement.

t-and-f: USATF Release: Powell named Athlete of the Week
Contact:Tom Surber Media Information Manager USA Track & Field (317) 261-0500 x317 [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.usatf.org FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE April 30, 2002 Powell named Athlete of the Week INDIANAPOLIS Two-time Olympian Suzy Powell has been named USA Track & Fields Athlete of the Week after her American record womens discus throw at last weekends University of California San Diego Open. Powells throw of 69.44 meters/227 feet, 10 inches bettered the record of 66.10m/216-10 set by Carol Cady in 1986. Powells performance is the best in the world since Russias Natalya Sadova threw 70.02m/229-9 on June 23, 1999. Other notable performers included Suzy Favor Hamilton, who posted a world-leader in the 3,000 meters of 8 minutes, 56.03 seconds Saturday at the 93rd Drake Relays, despite light rain and windy conditions with gusts up to 25 miles an hour. Additional world-leading marks were turned in by 2001 World Outdoor Championships long jump silver medalist Savante Stringfellow, who leaped 8.33m/27-4 at Fort-de-France, Martinique.

t-and-f: Drugs in Sport: Steriod use 'rising'
http://www.sport.telegraph.co.uk/sport/main.jhtml?xml=/sport/2002/04/30/soat hl01.xml Drugs in Sport: Steriod use 'rising' By Gareth A Davies THE use of banned substances by elite athletes is on the rise worldwide, it was claimed yesterday. Dr Don Catlin, the director of the International Olympic Committee's testing laboratory at the Salt Lake City Games, revealed at a British Medical Association conference in London that he knew of at least four new "clandestine steroids" being marketed illegally for athletes' use. He added that many anabolic steroids which are in use still remain undetectable to the testers in a covert game between what he described as "mom and pop operations" - highly-qualified rogue chemists farming steroids and smuggling them across the world - and IOC testers. Dr Catlin, widely regarded as one the world's most eminent scientists in the doping field, and a professor of molecular and medical pharmacology in Los Angeles cited the example yesterday of the difficulties in policing doping. In March this year Dr Catlin's lab at UCLA uncovered a suspicious substance in an unnamed woman athlete's urine. After detailed analysis, and "luck and good judgement" it was found to be the anabolic steroid norbolethone, which the IOC does not currently test for. Dr Catlin stressed that it was of extreme concern because norbolethone, which underwent clinical trials in 1967, had been discarded by laboratories four years later due to its high levels of toxicity. In clinical tests more than 30 years ago, norbolethone had shown to develop huge muscle growth without any hair in the rat model. "If you've had a supply of norbolethone for five years, and nobody has been testing for it you have got pretty far," he explained. Dr Catlin, who highlighted that there are "too many tests, not enough funding" also touched on what is likely to become a controversial subject. He believes that it may become necessary in future years to test testosterone levels based on ethnicity, with early research indicating that men of Caucasian, African and South American descent show higher levels of testosterone than Asians. "I don't like the idea of testing," he said. "But it's all we have until we see a way of shifting the culture. The really clever ones get away with it. Is there a way to truly change the drugs culture? I believe so, but athletes take drugs because it's a condition of winning in many sports."

t-and-f: Preview of Cardinal Invitational at Stanford
2002 Cardinal Invitational Friday, May 3 Cobb Track and Angell Field Tickets available on Friday at Payton Jordan Plaza $10 adults, $5 kids 12 and under, Free with Stanford ID Schedule and entry list available at: http://gostanford.fansonly.com/sports/c-track/spec-rel/101901aac.html In its seventh year the Cardinal Invitational has developed into one of the premier track and field meets of the outdoor season. Each May, college and elite level athletes gather at Cobb Track and Angell Field with intentions of achieving qualifying marks for the season's remaining championship meets. Tonight's athletes will have their eyes set on the standards for the NCAA Championships in Baton Rouge, Louisiana and the USATF Championships at Stanford University on June 21-23. Hundreds of top collegiate athletes and international stars are scheduled to compete before an anticipated sold-out Cobb Track and Angell Field stadium assuring top performances in virtually every event. After American and U.S. all-comers records were set in the men's 10,000 meters at the 2001 Cardinal Invitational, Stanford Director of Track and Field Vin Lananna has assembled one of the finest women's 10,000 meter fields in U.S. history to highlight the 2002 Cardinal Invitational. The United States' top female distance runners will tour Cobb Track for 25 laps (6.2 miles) on Friday evening as they attempt to break the 10,000 meter American record of 31:19.89 held by Lynn Jennings since 1992. Among those expected to challenge the American record are U.S. distance stars Deena Drossin, Jen Rhines, Kim Fitchen, and Nicole Jefferson. As a two-time U.S. 10,000 meter champion and six time U.S. cross country champion, Drossin is considered the top women's distance runner in the United States. Drossin made international headlines on April 7 when she set a world record of 14:54 in the women's 5K at the Carlsbad 5000 road race in San Diego. In March, Drossin finished second overall at the World Cross Country Championships in Dublin, Ireland and last November she became the fourth fastest American ever in the marathon after her debut effort in New York City. In 2001, Jen Rhines was ranked second in the U.S. in the 10,000 meters and finished 22nd at the World Championships. Hometown favorite Kim Fitchen enters tonight's race with the fastest 10,000 meter time in the nation at 32:18.82 set at the Stanford Invitational in March. Nicole Jefferson is perennially one of the top women's distance stars in America. Competing against the Americans in their record attempt will be a contingent of international stars including Yoko Shibui of Japan, Canadian Courtney Babcock, and Marie Davenport of Ireland. Shibui had the fastest time in the world in the women's marathon in 2001 and will certainly be a factor in tonight's race. Babcock currently leads the world in the women's 5000 meters with a time of 15:10.66. Marie Davenport has one of the world's top times in the 5000 meters this season. The men's 10,000 meters will again be one of the highlights of the Cardinal Invitational. Meb Keflizighi returns to Cobb Track and Angell tonight for the first time since setting an American record of 27:13.98 in the 10,000 meters at the 2001 Cardinal Invitational. The entrance of Kenya's Luke Kipkosgei, Albert Chepkurui, and Daniel Gachara will assure a fast pace. Kipkosgei had the third fastest 10,000 meter time in the world in 2001 and recently placed second at the World Cross Country Championships. After placing sixth at the World Cross Country Championships, Chepkurui is one of Kenya's rising stars at the age of 20. Look for Canadian national record holder Jeff Schiebler, U.S. Olympians Abdi Abdirahman and Brad Hauser, and Great Britain Olympian Karl Keska to be amongst the leaders. Olympian Bolota Asmeron will push the pace in the 5000 meters along with Anthony Famiglietti, one of the top steeplechasers in the United States. Eastern Michigan's Boaz Cheboiywo, the 2001 NCAA cross country champion, will also be a factor. The meet and Cobb Track record of 13:24.13 set by Tim Broe in 2001 may be in jeopardy tonight. Indoor American record holder Nicole Teter will highlight the women's 800 meters. At the 2002 USATF Indoor Championships in March, Teter captured her first national title in record fashion with a time of 1:58.71. Teter also has the top time by an American runner in the 1500 meters this year. Participants in the men's 1500 meters will be chasing the IAAF "A" standard of 3:34.90 needed to compete in next year's World Championships. Stanford graduate Jason Lunn and Gabe Jennings will lead the charge as both enter with outstanding credentials. Jennings was a semifinalist in the 1500 meters at the 2000 Olympics while Lunn is the 2002 U.S. Indoor champion in the mile. Jennings and Lunn have 1500 meter bests of 3:35.21 and 3:36.50 resp
