India's marathon boy, aged three By Sandeep Sahu BBC News, Bhubaneswar Coach Das says Budhia could be a Guinness World Record holderHe runs seven hours at a stretch, sometimes as much as 48km (30 miles). On a daily basis. And Budhia Singh is just three and a half years old. When Budhia's father died a year ago, his mother, who washes dishes in Bhubaneswar, capital of the eastern Indian state of Orissa, was unable to provide for her four children. She sold Budhia to a man for 800 rupees ($20). But the young boy came to the attention of Biranchi Das, a judo coach and the secretary of the local judo association. Mr Das said he noticed Budhia's talent when scolding him for being a bully. "Once, after he had done some mischief, I asked him to keep running till I came back," Mr Das told the BBC. "I got busy in some work. When I came back after five hours, I was stunned to find him still running." Siesta Mr Das, also the president of the residents' association of the run-down area where Budhia used to live, summoned the man who had bought Budhia and paid him his 800 rupees back. Then started a strict diet and exercise regimen that saw Budhia adding a few kilometres to his daily marathon every few days. A few stretching exercises for the marathon boy In place of a few lumps of rice that he used to get at his mother's place, he now has a diet of eggs, milk, soybean and meat. He starts running at 0500 each day and does not stop till noon. After a few stretching exercises, he has lunch and goes for a siesta. At 1600 it is time to run again. Budhia is enjoying his stay at the judo hostel. "I can run and eat to my heart's content here," he says. His speech is not yet easy to understand. Though he has yet to go to school, he has completed learning the alphabet of Oriya, the local language. Budhia's coach has now set his eyes on a place in the Guinness Book of World Records. That, he says, will be possible when he can run for 90km at a stretch. "I have no doubt whatsoever that he will achieve it soon", Mr Das says. Make FREE PC-to-PC calls with MSN Messenger. Get it now!

Adidas Outdoor Championships By Ricky Quintana Raleigh, NC- The girls sprints will provide plenty of entertainment as athletes vie for the national high school championship title at the adidas Outdoor Championships at Paul Derr Track on the North Carolina State University campus June 18 and 19th. Heres an event by event preview of each of the sprint races. 100m Dash Alex the Great and Speedy will be the headliners for what promises to be a meet record-threatening race. Three of the top four nationally ranked 100m sprinters will be on hand to earn the coveted national championship ring given to all the adidas Outdoor Champions. World Junior 400m record holder, Texas and Olympic team favorite, Sanya Richards(St. Thomas Aquinas, Ft. Lauderdale, FL) set the record of 11.39 in 2002. Heres a listing of the top competitors. Alexandria Anderson( Morgan Park, Chicago, IL) got her moniker after splendid quadruple performance at the Illinois Class 2A state championships. There she recorded wins in the in the 100m, 11.41, a 24.11 in the 200m, a 53.13 in the 400m, and finished runner-up in the long jump, 19 feet 11 inches. In all, the junior has collected 9 state championships and two runner-ups. She will be focusing on just two events here, the 100m and the 200m. She has bests of 11.14 and 23.74 in those two events. Ranking: US#3tie Shalonda Solomon (Poly, Long Beach, CA) will be looking for that elusive individual title that escaped her at the California state championships last weekend. Hard sprinting Speedy has a best of 11.41 this season and a best of 11.35. She will have no relay chores at the AOC which should improve her prospects drastically. This will also be the first appearance at AOC for the coast hopping Solomon. College Choice: University of South Carolina Ranking: US #3 tie Cleo Tyson(Huntsville, TX) has finished second in each of her two past championship races. She was runner-up at the TX 5A state meet to Krystin Lacy(Skyline, Dallas, TX) and runner-up to national leading Ashley Owens( Liberty, Colorado Springs, CO) at the Great Southwest Championships in Albuquerque, NM June 5. The University of Tennessee signee will try and reverse that trend at AOC. Ranking: US #5 2003 AOC Finish: 4th Courtney Champion( Collins Hill, Suwanee, GA) won her fourth straight championship in the 200m at the GA State championships. This despite a hamstring and groin injuries that plagued her in the early part of the season. She also won the 100m in a quick 11.53. In all, she collected 6 individual titles in her career and just missed completing the 100m/200m 4 time double sweep after placing 2nd in the 100m her freshman and sophomore years. College Choice: University of Tennessee Girls 200m Almost an identical line-up as the 100m, but with some added spice. The only missing entrant from last years final is the winner, Shana Cox. The meet record is 23.03, again held by Sanya Richards. This surely will be threatened as three of the top five nationally ranked runners are entered. Shalonda Solomon( Poly, Long Beach, CA) enters with the best time after her sizzling 22.92 runner-up at the California State Championships. It was an improvement over last years time by a scant 0.01. Rank US #2 Cleo Tyson (Huntsville, TX) sped to an all time best of 23.36 behind Ashley Owens at the Great Southwest Classis June 5. At the Texas 4A state meet she won both the 100m and 200m titles in scorching times, 11.51 and 23.41(which broke an 8 year old state record). It was the second year in a row that she completed the trick. Tyson earned the bronze medal at the World Youth Championships last summer in Sherbrooke, Canada. Ranking US # 4 2003 AOC : 3rd Alexandria Anderson( Morgan Park,Chicago, IL) best in the 200m, 23.48, was set last summer at the USATF Junior Olympics in hot Miami. Her best FAT(Fully automatic time) this season, 24.11, was set while competing in 4 events. With less events to compete in, she should improve on last years 6th place AOC finish. Krystin Lacy(Skyline , Dallas, TX) won the Texas state championship with a sizzling 23.45. It was the third state individual title for the junior in sprint deep Texas. The 200m will be the only individual event Lacy will run at AOC which should make a difference for last years 5th placer. Courtney Champion (Collins Hill, Suwanee, GA) earned her 4th straight title in the 200m running 23.84. Last years AOC runner-up has improved to 23.44 this season, a .09 improvement. Champion earned the silver medal at the World Youth Championships last summer in Sherbrooke, Canada. Bianca Knight( Ridgeland, Pearl, MS) claimed her 8th individual state titles by posting an impressive 11.56, 23.98, and 55.63 for her new school, Ridgeland and helped them win the Mississippi 4A state team championship. After a long layoff, Knight, only a freshman, posted a 3rd place finish in the 100m, 11.82 and a 2nd place finish in the 400m,

This article was in the 12/29 Washington Times Time trial marks Alan Webb's first race By Steve Nearman Alan Webb ran his first track race as a professional yesterday at the Prince George's Sports Learning Complex in Landover. Top Stories To be fair, it was a low-key time trial, an exhibition 1,000-meter race set in the middle of a high school invitational. This is the first time I have put spikes on since the NCAAs [in June], said the rusty Webb, after finishing his event at the two-day Metro Run Walk Holiday Invitational. Not bad, but I was really hoping for a PR. It was close, but Webb looked like a guy who hasn't been doing much speed work, a fact that he and his coach Scott Raczko confirmed. We just wanted to get a time trial before altitude, said Raczko, who has worked for Metro Run Walk for the past few years. We're leaving for Albuquerque tomorrow for 3½ weeks. Webb lined up on the fast 200-meter track with former South Lakes High (Reston, Va.) teammate and designated rabbit Richard Smith while Raczko paced the infield. It was just the two of them, but it represented two of America's greatest middle-distance prospects. At 2:15 p.m., the gun sounded and Smith and Webb dashed off. Smith took Webb through a relaxed opening 200 meters in 29.16, then they went to work, cruising through 400 meters in 57.67. Unfortunately, the fieldhouse full of prep runners did not recognize history's greatest high school miler, so the cheering and vocal encouragement was limited mostly to the South Lakes fans. Smith bolted away from Webb after 500 meters, then dropped out as Webb passed 600 in 1:25.41. He ran solo to the finish, passing 800 in 1:54.40 and finishing in 2:23.88. His PR, which he set last year as the high school national record, is 2:23.68. To put the accomplishment into perspective, the American indoor record is 2:17.85, while the world mark is 2:14.96. Webb signed a multi-year contract with Nike some six months ago, securing his future to train for the 2004 and 2008 Olympics. I was eager to get in a race, but I was disappointed that I couldn't go any faster in the last 60 meters, said Webb, adding that we wanted to keep this meet low-key so nobody knew about it. But by summertime, I want to be in shape to run with the best in the world. He said his first big meet would be the U.S. Nationals in June. Then Webb was quickly off to warm down outside. There was evidence, however, that Webb had passed through town: the tell-tale sign was the number of Nike backpacks toted around the indoor track facility by prep hopefuls that had Alan Webb signatures on them.
Re: t-and-f: No Subject
Of course, unless The Times means last year as in nearly 24 months ago, then he set the record while a freshman in college. I assume they mean early 2001, which could more accurately be called 2 years ago at this point. - Original Message - His PR, which he set last year as the high school national record, is 2:23.68.

I don't know what the answer to this question is (my gut feeling is it should count), but I must object to Ed's analogy below. Hardly the same thing -- the original question refers to the same school, just before it had the league categorization, while the response is two different schools (which obviously circumvents the league aspect of the question). Dan --- Ed and Dana Parrot [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Jim - Should a mark set by someone from a league member school prior to the formal organization of the league be considered the league record? My gut feeling is no, therefore giving rise to the possibility that a school record could be better than the league mark (which is not a problem). This is more to determine what the existing league record was (and by extension whether it was broken in a meet last weekend) Much easier than the four minute mile question (although poring through an old TF News issue is very enjoyable) - of course not. A league is an entity that din't exist when the mark was set. If an 8th grader in a middle school runs 4:15 for the mile, and didn't get faster when he got to high school, the high school wouldn't consider that the school record.

Sac State hosts stars of future: For some, this week's Junior Olympics meet might serve as a prelude to the 2004 Games. By David Carrillo Bee Staff Writer (Published July 23, 2001) Julene Bailey is only 16, but her seventh-place showing at the youth version of the Olympic Games this month has led some Idahoans to consider harvesting a new crop alongside potatoes next year -- vaulting poles. It's amazing to hear how many people in Idaho want to start picking up these sticks, said Bailey, who vaulted 12 feet, 5 1/2 inches for Team USA at the World Youth Championships meet in Debrecen, Hungary. I can't imagine what the buzz is going to be in Idaho if I make the 2004 Olympic Games. For now, Bailey is among more than 6,000 athletes who have their sights on the 35th USA Track Field National Junior Olympics, which run Thursday through Sunday at Sacramento State. The Hornet Stadium oval was the site last summer for the U.S. Olympic Trials in track and field. And the Junior Olympics have been a launching pad for some of America's top athletes.

Ken, I accompanied my father in 2 marathons when I was 8. It was around 1969 - 70 and I finished one in somewhere around 5 hours. I don't recall having any long-term problems but then again I did it with my father and it was more like a running picnic. I recall that afterward I never wanted to run one again and to this day I haven't. I'm definitely not going to let my son attempt one if he was so inclined. As far as younger people running marathons I would say that there is a huge difference between running one just to finish and racing one. Frank Shorter once said that anyone can finish a marathon but only a few can race one, personally I think he saw Oprah coming. Racing a marathon and more importantly, putting in the training effort to do so, would not be something that I would recommend for anybody until they're are physically mature. -Ray Mail2Web - Check your email from the web at http://www.mail2web.com/ .

This message was emailed to you from sacbee.com. Message: Triple jumper Sheila Hudson writes about her training. One More Season: Long hours in training also can be lonely ones By Sheila Hudson Bee Staff Writer (Published March 29, 2001) As the sun pierced drifting clouds onto scattered spectators, a meet announcer's voice bellowed over loudspeakers, and the aroma of Ben-Gay wafted in the mild spring breeze that swirled about Hughes Stadium. Nearly 1,000 athletes turned out to compete in the Panther Invitational last Saturday. It was a good, old-fashioned track meet -- the perfect remedy for my preseason funk -- and I was thrilled to be among the competitors. But then, competing alongside other athletes has always had that effect on me. Particularly since I've been a professional track athlete. Why? Well, to put it plainly, day-to-day training for a pro track athlete can get rather lonely at times. Actually, downright solitary. Particularly when you're in an event as technical as the triple jump. Believe it or not, there just aren't that many people out there interested in performing a hop, step and jump into a sand pit better than most in the world. Go figure.

Message: Story about Sac State track program Freshman sprinter-jumper Shanita Bryant is the type of athlete coach Joe Neff, right, hopes to attract to Sac State. Bee/Anne Chadwick Williams Sac State wants a run of success: Track program looks to build off Olympic Trials By Quwan Spears Bee Staff Writer (Published March 28, 2001) The success of the U.S. Olympic Track and Field Trials here last summer, and the NCAA Championships in 2003 and the Trials again in 2004, has helped Sacramento shed its image as a rest stop along the way to more prestigious track and field events. Now, Sacramento State wants to better its image in the sport. In an effort to bolster its program, the university wants to add nearly $80,000 to the team's budget for four assistant coaches, two additional scholarships, supplies, recruiting and travel. The money, as yet unauthorized, would come from several state funding sources. With increased funding, Hornets coach Joe Neff says the track program would finally have all the ingredients to rise to prominence. "We have a combination of good things going for us," Neff said. "We have one of the best facilities in the world. Our funding has improved. Plus, we've got tremendous exposure from the Trials."

Armstrong had eight first-place votes and 72 points, while St. Louis Rams quarterback Kurt Warner was third with 34 points. Points were awarded on a 3-2-1 basis. Rounding out the top 10 were Pedro Martinez, Shaquille O'Neal, Rulon Gardner, Jason Giambi, Derek Jeter, Josh Heupel and Marshall Faulk. This is a clip from a story in the LA Times about the AP award, awarded to Tiger Woods. These are the runner ups. In the year of the Olympic Games I see not one Olympic athlete. Who is Rulon Gardner? Josh Heupel makes the list? Amazing. DGS The G.O.A.T.
Re: t-and-f: (no subject)
Darrell asks: These are the runner ups. In the year of the Olympic Games I see not one Olympic athlete. Who is Rulon Gardner? Rulon Gardner is an Olympic athlete, gold medallist in fact. He was the Greco-Roman wrestler who defeated the heavily-favored Russian defending champion to win the super heavyweight division. It was perhaps the biggest upset of the games - even more unlikely than Kenteris winning the 200m. After the games Gardner, whose day job is as a farmer in small town in Wyoming, made the rounds of the TV talk shows. He had a very appealing personality, and I'm not at all surprised to see him on the list. Kurt Bray _ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com
Subject: Re: t-and-f: Footlocker Regionals QUESTIO
Mike, In regards to your statements about the Footlocker versus Junior Olympics: My question is why bother having a JO cross country program when you have this program which is so much more successful? And appropriate. Some personal reasons why my daughter and her club compete in the Junior Olympic (JO) XC program: -The JO qualifier meets are more localized, the AAU USATF South Texas Association meets are held in San Antonio (90 miles away), whereas the Footlocker South regional is in North Carolina (1300 miles away). I am curious as to how many Texas 9-year olds ran at Footlocker? -There is no age group national meet in the Footlocker program. -The JO XC national meet moves to different locations every year, making every year a bit different and we get to visit a new cities, which in some cases, we would otherwise never visit. I am not knocking the Footlocker program at all, I would like to experience it because I have heard great things about it, but there are very solid reasons why the JO XC programs are still very much desirably, from an age group perspective. Now if Footlocker would setup the Texas regional meet that they talked about last year, that would be better for us. Steve

During the course walk-through, the meet director told the kids in the older divisions that most of the "fastest runners" in the area wouldn't be there because they would be competing in the California State CIF first-round meet the same day. At least that was his experience in the past. So he warned them that they're probably used to 'following the leaders' in high school meets and that wouldn't be the case, they would have to be up in the lead and close to it to keep the pace from dragging. He also said he may combine races in the top two divisions because of lack of entrants (again, from his prior experience). As it turned out, there were plenty of entrants to have separate races, combining wasn't required, and as for the quality of competition, my son ran a time that wasn't too far off his season best as a HS frosh (converting 3M down to 2.5M), but still got his clock cleaned. The competition was pretty darn good! He could have ran a PR and still might not have qualified to get to Regional JO. There's no way I'd say JO is unsuccessful- this year at least, the quality of competition and the depth of the fields were very good. The times in the upper two age groups correlated very closely to what we've seen this year in the best of California High School jayvee races, such as at the Mt. SAC Invitational. Once you move up to JO Regionals and Nationals, of course the quality is even better. Sure, Footlocker syphons off the best of the junior and senior elite runners, but the JO champions aren't exactly chopped liver. RT
Re: Subject: Re: t-and-f: Footlocker Regionals QUESTIO
I think that the strength of JO must vary a lot through different regions. Last year, two of my junior girls who finished 6th and 8th in the South Carolina Independent Schools state meet, took second and third in the SC JO. In our state, running JO doesn't make much sense for competitive high school athletes. Ed Prytherch. -Original Message- From: R.T.

[EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: Seriously, this is an obvious, classic case of a double standard [The old subject header was not appropriate.] I have a very pragmatic response, in which I want to support Justin Clouder. This ad was essentially the most shocking scene out of the R-rated teen horror flicks. My 6-year son was very scared by it, and talked about it for days. We had to supervise his watching the Olympics for several days until I saw the notice on the this list that it had been pulled. I really don't we should have to screen our children's watching the Olympics. As for Friday the 13th and Halloween being on TV, at least we would be making a conscious choice to view that movie for our son. We had little control over the ad since it was randomly inserted into what is otherwise non-offensive programming. The ability to control that choice is what is at the heart of this issue, not just the content. As for the Gladiator ad, it did not have the same shock level, nor quite the same level of implied violence. The skateboarder obviously was not taking the gladiator seriously, implying that it was a fantasy which my son seemed to be able to pick up readily. If Nike had directed that the ad only be shown after 10pm, I don't think I would have objected--I thought it was a clever send up that emphasized that the role of women is changing and that women are gaining more control over different aspects of their lives.

Re: Subject: t-and-f: Re:Nike Ad
I have a very pragmatic response, in which I want to support Justin Clouder. This ad was essentially the most shocking scene out of the R-rated teen horror flicks. I can respect those who feel the ad was inappropriate, but let's not overdo it. This scene was not even in the top 100 most shocking scenes from these flicks. I only saw the first friday the 13th (a stupid movie), and it had dozens of scenes that were much more shocking than anything in the commercial. As for Friday the 13th and Halloween being on TV, at least we would be making a conscious choice to view that movie for our son. We had little control over the ad since it was randomly inserted into what is otherwise non-offensive programming. The ability to control that choice is what is at the heart of this issue, not just the content. There are many commercials that are just as bad. What is less shocking about someone getting into a car accident with glass all over the place? What about the anti-smoking commercial with body bags surrounding a building (any kid who can read will get that one)? What about any number of violent WWF promotions - to say that the Nike ad was any worse than those is ridiculous. I could go on, but this commercial was TAME compared to commercials I have seen with network news and other "family-time" shows. As for the Gladiator ad, it did not have the same shock level, nor quite the same level of implied violence. The skateboarder obviously was not taking the gladiator seriously, implying that it was a fantasy which my son seemed to be able to pick up readily. I can't disagree that the gladiator had had little shock value. As a matter of fact, it was really stupid and I didn't even remember that it was a Nike commercial until it came up on the list. But as for implied violence, the gladiator ad had a lot more implied violence. Christ, a guy with a sword swinging and barely missing a teenage kid's head. The chainsaw guy hardly got anywhere near Suzy. It's all a matter of perception. Plenty of 5-10 year old kids were not bothered in the slightest by the ad. Others were. Plenty of kids from broken homes get disturbed by commercials showing a father having to talk to a child on the phone because he can't be there, yet no one's pulling those ads. American society doesn't blink at the type of violence in gladiator commercial - it's accepted. Yet somehow we can't have our kids seeing an individual man threaten an individual woman in the dark. No wonder when kids reach puberty and have to deal with real life threats and situations they are totally unprepared. - Ed Parrot [EMAIL PROTECTED]

There was only one breach, a casual aquaintance saw my husband and blurted out the result of the men's 1500 before Gary could say a word.
