Ricky provides his usual great summary, but, as an oldtimer, I have to
keep him honest: Ricky, don't forget to note when the old "yard" records are
superior to the new metric performances. Kelly Parrish's 10:31.03 is indeed
faster than Jenny Barringer's "record", but in 1981 Carla Dolder of
Gainesville (Ricky's home town) ran 10:33.5 for 2 miles in the State meet
which converts to 10:29.9 as I figure it (.9942 conversion).
