Re: t-and-f: hs uniforms
I generally work as clerk or starter at indoor meets in CT, and I can't begin to tell you how many minutes I wasted and how much time was added to meets by making kids remove necklaces, bracelets, earrings and other assorted piercings (and half the time the boys had more than the girls). At yesterday's state class meet, I noticed a proliferation of sweatbands around heads, arms, and even legs. How long until the Federation expands the ban to these? Don't they realize that, just like drugs, the athletes will stay one step ahead of the officials? The ultimate conclusion is to have everyone compete dressed the way the ancient Greeks did, au natural (which might make some, like HJer Amy Acuff, happy, to say nothing of the fans).

Apparently, there is no need to press those Wisconsin officials about these particular girls -- according to an AP story yesterday, the team was reinstated. However, it would be smart to get such rules liberalized or eliminated to avoid such messes in the future.

Re: t-and-f: My take on the PRE TV
Larry, On Monday I posted some very favorable comments about your Pre coverage. I did ask for much more coverage of some of the hot field events, like the shot and the high jump. (And I'm an old distance runner and retired high school Cross Country coach.) PLEASE go easy on all the sprint coverage. There are some great personalities in other events - if T.V. needs the personal angle - if you focus on them as you do on Marion and Mo. Mostly I want to strongly second the call/request for staying on the finish line at the end of a race so we can see how others do besides the top 2 or 3 - like the many Americans who ran 3:55-56 at Pre and were ignored. And instead of just showing the top 3 finishers and times, why not turn a camera on the scoreboard. I caught an occasional glimpse of it in the background and it was very clear - as it is at virtually all big meets.

t-and-f: Timing question
Netters: I ran into something last night at the Bergen County Meet of Champions which left me with some questions about the current state of automatic-timing. First, some background: I was at the National AAU meet at Randalls Island, NY, where Frank Budd set the then hand-timed WR for 100 yards of 9.2. The race was, as I think I jhave mentioned in a past post, also automatically timed by the Bulova system. The next day, in reporting the ecord, the nespapers also mentioned that the auto-time on the race was 9.36. Curious about this, I contacted the Bulova spokesman who explained that there was a "built-in: gap of .16 seconds between auto-timing and the most accurate hand-timing because the auto-timer was let off by the contact of the trigger and the explotion of the gun and flash came that must later. So, in a way, the athletes were "cheated" of their proper time. Since then, it has become customary for statisticians to convert old hand times to match the auto-times (for performanmce lists) by adding .14 for races starting and finishing in the same place and .24 for those (like the 100s , 200s and HHs) where the start is some distance from the finish. Now, the meet last night was handled by our most reliable timing service, Ed Scullion';s. But when the auto-times were being announced (instantaneously, by the way) from the press boi, coaches at the finish line were confused because they either matched their (the coaches) hand times or were, ina couple of cases, faster. My own hand-timing was also a lot closer to the auto time than usual. Since there was obviously no cable connection between the starter and the system, I inquired how the aut-timer was being triggered and the starter showed me a "hearing" device which started the timer by the sound of the gun. Now, it would seem to me that this is a more accurate way of auto-timing than in the past since the timer starts simultaneously with the athlete hearing the gun. But it would also, it seems, produced slightly faster aut-times than the older cable connections. But I would like some input on it so I ask these questions: 1) Is this soundstarting system now in general use? 2) Have any of you encountered the same timing anomalies which were present last night, i.e., hand-times to close to the auto, or even slower than it. There were, of course, some past meets which had what was called "semi-auto" timing, that is the finish line was caught with a camera, but the system was started by hand. That is not the case here--the system, again, is started by the sound of the gun, independent of any human intervention. Ed Grant
t-and-f: USATF Release: Running is fastest-growing activity among Americans
Contact:Joe Hughes Communications Intern USA Track & Field 317-261-0478 x357 [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.usatf.org FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Wednesday, May 29, 2002 Running is fastest-growing activity among Americans Americans are taking up running at a faster rate than any other participatory sport, according to figures released by the National Sporting Goods Association (NSGA). Running and jogging participation increased by 7.6 percent from 2000 to 2001, with 24.5 million Americans running or jogging six or more times last year. These increases come despite more stringent participatory requirements for running: people had to engage in running/jogging six times during the year to be counted in the survey. Activities such as basketball, golf, baseball and inline skating required that a person participate only once during the course of the year. Working to help Americans - especially children - become more fit is one of our organizations major goals, said USA Track & Field President Bill Roe. By working together with organizations like Running USA and the Road Runners Club of America, we will continue to pursue greater participation in running. It is the most basic cardiovascular activity we can offer to those who otherwise may face a future of inactivity, obesity, and health-related problems. Exercise walking had the biggest loss in participation, dropping 12.4%, but it retained the No. 1 spot overall with 71.2 million participants. The only activities among the 20 sports surveyed that showed increases were running/jogging (+7.6%), hiking (+7.5%), basketball (+3.8%), golf (+0.9%) and billiards/pool (+0.5%). The NSGA data bolsters similar findings by other groups. American Sports Data, Inc. reports that women's participation in running has doubled. Nationwide, the number of female runners as a percentage of total runners in the U.S. has gone from 20 percent in 1985 to 40 percent in 2000, according to American Sports Data statistics. "The increase in women's participation is vital for the continued growth of running," said USATF CEO Craig Masback. "With road races thriving from coast to coast, and with more women and families getting involved in running, these numbers are enormously encouraging." Americans also have been training more. American Sports Data reports that from 1987 to 2000 the number of runners in the U.S. who ran more than 100 days a year increased from eight million to ten million. Along with this increase in training comes an increase in road race participation as the sport has become much more popular in recent years. Between 1987 and 2000, according to the USATF Road Running Information Center, the number of finishers of U.S. running races increased from 3.7 million to 7.9 million, and 5K finishers went up from 600,000 to 2.8 million.

Re: t-and-f: hs uniforms
A sane way to deal with it would be to write into the rule that violations concerning uniforms or jewelry are considered waived unless raised by an official or opposing coach prior to the start of the race or field event. If something is a problem, fix it before hand instead of playing gotcha after. As a sometimes clerk or referee, I find this far preferable to what often happens.

Careful, I think that definition might just make things even worse. We have 3 schools in the conference with an identical make of uniform (speedsuits). One is black, one is dark purple, and the other is navy. Very difficult to tell apart unless you can read the name from straight on or recognize the athlete. Would these schools have to invest in new uniforms under that definition?

t-and-f: Timing and uniforms
Netters: I want to thank everyone who answered my query on the new "sonar" AT method. It's going to cause a lot more confusion this weekend at the NJ public school championships and there is also another problem: the Parochial school meet, which already faces a deifcit in being a one-day affair rather than two-day, will be timed the old way. There are a couple of very good sprinters there in both boys and girls divisions and I hope they don't suffer in the seeding at the AG meet (at least qualification there is principally by time in the dashes). Now to the uniform mess in Wisconsin. Some years ago we had a near-incident in NJ. Two teams were battling for the Group, II title. Monmouth won the relay and the meet, but the other coach challenged the win on the same claim that was made in Wisconsin. But the challenge was disallowed and the victory stood, I wish this case had gone to court; maybe it still can since the girls were obviously caused some mental pain while they awaited the final clearance. The charge should be sexual harassment, for what else is it in the long run? To treat bra covers as some part of a uniform is manifestly ridiculous. They are worn for one purpose--modesty. I would think that should be obvious to anyone with a brain in his (or her) head. What is really needed is a court ruling which states simply that noihing an athlete wears under his/her uniform is subject to any rule whatsoever. Do we have inspections of what football players wear under their pants. The fact that, in track, the underclothes may be visible makes no difference. Of course, the entire HS rule book should be thrown out and the IAAF or USATF book substituted. The latter, I believe, now includes specfications for the HS events (boys hurdles and DT, for example) which differ from the international ones. Their absence in the past was the only legitiumate reason for a HS rule book and, even then, could have been covered with a few addenda. As fae as jewelry is concerned, I have attended more than 5,000 meets of various kinds, CC, indoors and out, in the past half century and more and never once seen a piece of jewelry cause an injury to the wearer or anyone else. The wilder kind can easily be removed before a race. It;s the tine ones that cause the problem; athletes simply forget they have thm on in many cases. Ed Grant

I was told that her mother is also an Olympic gold medalist, (5K, 1992?), but could not confirm this---no doubt it is common knwoledge to many of you out there Irene did not place in the event, but her presence at the meet means she had some earlier good races.

Re: t-and-f: Montana State Meet results
Hmmm... Montana must not belong to the National Federation, which stipulates in its rule book that a high school athlete can compete in no more than 4 events in a meet. I would think with this girl having a hand in racking up 70 points in the state meet (did Conrad win the championship?) a half way savvy coach from another team might file a protest! *John Beattie* [EMAIL PROTECTED] - Original Message - From: "Tony Banovich" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Jack Shepard" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>; "John Dye" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>; "Mike Kennedy" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>; "track and field list" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Wednesday, May 29, 2002 6:48 PM Subject: t-and-f: Montana State Meet results > Following are the highlights from the State H.S. meets May 24th and 25th in > Montana.

Re: t-and-f: NCAA day 1 highlights
>200m >heat 1 >19.98 Gatlin Tenn gatlin stretches it out down straighaway which finishes on >other side of track. For those wondering why Gatlin is running after being suspended by the IAAF, an explanation is here: http://www.indystar.com/article.php?amcol28.html,sports Suffice it to say that the NCAA could care less what anybody over in Monaco cares about the matter. And the USATF is basically powerless as well. Yet the American national governing body- USATF- will undoubtedly be the organization that is bashed by the overseas whiners when NCAA results come over the net. Cases like this reinforce the perception that within U.S. borders 'anything goes'. We can only hope that one day eligibility actions will apply at all levels. If the suspension is lifted, it's lifted at all levels or jurisdictions; until it is lifted it should be enforced at all levels. If Gatlin were to set a world record, the IAAF would certainly throw it out. But what about national records- would the USATF have the gumption to recognize a record that they know the IAAF wouldn't consider? Fortunately in this case Gatlin is nowhere near record territory in either the 100 or 200, so it's a moot point. If I were the NCAA, I would have suspended Gatlin, but grant him an additional year of eligibility should the IAAF reinstate him. RT
