It's not crap, Mike. It's the only score I have. Results haven't been posted anywhere. I got them from a friend who competed. Thought it was interesting.

t-and-f: Ja'Warren Hooker Status?
Does anyone know the status or whereabouts of Ja'Warren Hooker? I haven't heard anything about him since the 2001 season. There hasn't been anything about him in the local newspapers. He was born in 1978 and ran the 100, 200, and 400 and played football for the University of Washington. I think he was somewhat disappointed by his results at the 2000 and 2001 national meets. His coach, Olympic gold medalist Lee Evans, departed the University of Washington for South Alabama in December 2001. Hooker didn't play football for the University of Washington after 1998.

Is the list down? I haven't received anything in a while, which (considering USATF was yesterday) is a little unusual. -- *** Mike Trujillo, ex-Angeleno [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] (563) 391-5448 ***
