t-and-f: Did I die and go to heaven???

Back from a week of amazing track field in Oregon. Pre/NCAA/Portland. I can't remember ever being more excited about the sport. Maybe a better week than seeing 2 10K WR's back in '93 or witnessing Zurich/Brussels/Cologne distance madness in '97. Not only did we have three great meets in one

t-and-f: Webb and the NCAAs

Interesting to note that Bryan Berryhill, the NCAA champion in the 1500, was beaten only the week before by Alan Webb at the Pre meet. Nationals should be very interesting. Brian McGuire

RE: t-and-f: NJ Group meet

In the Penn Relays paddock, we routinely ask runners to tuck in their shirts, but merely for the benefit of the photographers, not because we've ever thought there's a dq issue. I'd be curious to know if the dq was the result of a coach's protest or if it was the result of an umpire's

As the current USA Track Field Treasurer (and former NJ Association President), I can honestly say that while I've heard heard USATF called many things over the years, profligate has never been one of them. Ed Koch --Original Message-- From: malmo [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: 'TF Listserve'

RE: t-and-f: 1 for 11

One less radical idea that I haven't seen discussed as an alternative to shorten the time of competition for the vertical jumps would simply be to tinker more with the height increments, especially at the lower heights until the field narrows to five or six competitors. The IAAF and USATF

Bottom line is they weren't in there. It should be SOMEBODY'S job to make sure they are in there. Don't pass the proverbial buck. Most track fans have figured out where to get results. If you want MORE track fans than you already have (assume that USATF does, right?) then the onus is

If one looks around they will see that there is a lack of young officials working track meets. Running clubs have a tough time getting athletes to compete after their college eligibility has ended. The youth of today is completely different from what it was in the seventies and eighties. I
