if all they have is a 12K
race, everybody from Steeple specialists and shorter (middle
distance) simply won't run. They view it as a distraction
to adjust their "off-season" training for such a different
distance. Even some 5K runners may be tempted to skip it.
I see where you are
Looks like they flubbed a team code (all the Nikes are "21", adidas
2068="19", etc.) with what was supposed to be put down for age.

Well, that's the problem. Until the US as a whole embraces metric, it is
unwise for US track and (especially) field to do so. If you want people to

No question that the race results were dominated by steeplers. Besides
Browne and Hauser, I think they were ALL steeplers (I don't have results in

The same can be said for the 4k at the WCCC ... the results at the

of a much better suggestion. Yes, it's a shame that the sport has become so

One could argue that the mile is a durable standard for the same reason

Americans familiarity with the metric system is inconsequential.
Every discipline in life comes with its own nuances, track is no different.

Changing the dimensions of a football field, or any of the measurements
used in football would be just as absurd as not using metric
measurements in track and field. All the rules of football were
originally written using yards; it should stay that way. By the same
token, the international
