t-and-f: coaching selections etc...

Netters, I've experience the good ole boy system way too many times. I must say the U.S. coaching staff for World's looks like one of the best ever. Coaching staffs should have nothing to do with coaching, with the possible exception of the relay teams. My experience from the previous administ

What a sad day! For most of my life I have known of Senator Cranston, and became even more of a fan when I learned of the love we shared for track. It thrilled me greatly to see the Senator make his way around Drake Stadium at the ripe old age of 70.  It made me want it, to see him lace up the spik

Perhaps the oldest school record currently on the books for an NCAA Division I school is the University of Vermont's long jump record of 24' 11.25" (7.60m) set in 1912 by Albert Gutterson. It was the Olympic Gold Medal jump and was accomplished while he was a junior at UVM. He was also the Penn

t-and-f: Ken Bantum -- one more thng.

To my previous post on Ken Bantum (below), let me hastily add -- before Dave Johnson does -- that Bantum led off the 1955 Manhattan College 4x120y team that won the SHR at Penn. At 6-6 and 240 pounds, that's some kind of hurdling! jim dunaway At 12:10 PM 1/2/01 EST, you wrote: Ken Ban

When you are nominated, you must leave the room during the vote. You can never vote for any position for which you have been nominated. Trust me, Darrell, there is absolutely no hanky-panky with these votes. And, FYI, Kelly was not even at the convention when he was selected. Scott
