One problem could be that most of the top american juniors are in college. I know that any distance runner is running cross right now and not thinking of track. If the World Jrs were ran during an american track season we would see far better results. Later, Rolin Go PILOTS On Sun, 22 Oct 20

Sorry Jim. "Flounder" is both an intransitive verb and a noun. Linguists suspect that it came from "founder" but they aren't certain. It means to struggle awkwardly or to speak or act in an awkward or confused manner. It is slightly more appropriate in the context used below than "founder". I

Re: t-and-f: chicago marathon

Yes, it was a good day in general for the Americans, and there were some notable crash-and-burns among the foreigners. Americans ran more conservatively, e.g., only Morris was with two minutes of the leaders as early as 15k, and was a full minute back himself. Mack ran a very nice race also.
