t-and-f: McCLOY

in my days as t & f promotions guy with Reebok (help me out here Mr Derderian) we referred to Paul McCloy as "three lane"...because one needed to get out to at LEAST lane three to get around the guy Mike Fanelli "your San Francisco Bay Area real estate resource" Pacific Union Real Estate Gr

Re: t-and-f: US sprinting

Earlier today, under this subject line, Ed Parrot speculated about a decline of U.S. depth of talent in the sprinting events--viz., the 200 and 400 meters--coinciding with the retirement of Michael Johnson. Since I had just finished summarizing the sprint depth data for the 2001 outdoor season, I

t-and-f: McCloy vs Virgin was Big 10 XC trivia

Funny that Virgin was the subject of a few posts because there was a post to the Can list about a race between McCloy and Virgin. The story below comes from McCloy's former coach, Ray Will. He is definitely taking liberties with what Virgin said but he says that the jist of it is accurate. Maybe

Re: t-and-f: marathon qualifiers: Malmo's wrong

Bob, But I think many US distance runner think of foreign runners as exotic creatures of superior talent and it is no shame to be beaten by them so US runners by and large do not as passionately try to beat them in races or in training like they would try against their peers. I hear this with te

RE: t-and-f: marathon qualifiers: Malmo's wrong

Speaking for myself, my eyes are located on the anterior/cranial surface, not the posterior/cranial as suggested by marathon historian Derderian. Not only does this limit my vision to a forward direction anatomically speaking, it also does so metaphorically. Thousands of references to that fact a
