Allow me to chime in here. Considering this was a down year for the event and no one in particular stands out I would think that greater emphasis would be placed on honors won and the Olympic Gold Medalist won a pretty big honor. For lack of any outstanding candidate I would give it to the

Now this is an interesting line of reasoning. Kenteris won one race, ran one race outside of Greece, and you are willing to discount everyone else's season because his victory was the OG. I do not think he has races to support his tremendous victory. Too many 19.8's, and 19.9's to outweigh.

Curtis Frye has pulled off a major coup. His new signings are simply staggering. If these young ladies can continue to develop SC will be unbeatable for the next 4 to 5 years. Good job Curtis!!! 12.5.2000 Carolina Track and Field Women's Signing Class Already Hailed as the Best in the Country

Not for the women. First and foremost they have 17/18 scholarships. The girls you see before you can span 2-4 events at the NCAA level, at the minimum 2. This makes it all the same. Plus, in the history of the women's competitions, the champions have been sprint oriented, for whatever reasons. LSU

What is the basis of your ideas? Your title, your accusations, and your solution are disjointed. But the better question is what is your fascination with drugs, especially in the midst of such positive TRACK talk? Darrell The G.O.A.T.

But you are looking at it from a men's point of view. The women do not have the scholarship issues that the men do. Very few jumpers do anything other than jump. Less women jumpers double effectively. And you are still only talking about 2 events. These girls that Frye has recruited will score in

While the Olympics were occupying most of the list, the problems of drugs in track and field (and other sports) were still causing some worries. Now there is so little of consequence to be found on this forum, it may be a suitable time to reconsider the drug problem, and to hear from list
