Vin Lananna called with the sad news that Al Dawson, his mentor and close
friend for the last thirty years, passed away on Saturday. As reported last
week, the 80-year old Dawson was doing what he loved best, coaching high
school athletes, when he was struck in the head by an errant shot as
yeah, that's right. I am going to talk about football. It relates to the
whole Olympic Trials winner vs. time qualifier argument so it is not
totally off topic. Plus, this list is hosted by the University of Oregon
and I'm sure they don't care if I bash the BS (I mean BCS) for a while.

I like your analogy, and would like to take it a step further. Oregon is the
guy who won the Kenyan trials in 2:10 and Illinois was the 2:12 winner of
the ethiopian trials at altitude (being that they are from the 2 best
conferences) and LSU is the surprise winner of the always tough Japanese
tria

from other posts plus some additional material you may be interested in
having. All of these books are scarce and priced very reasonably. I have

The best U.S. collegiate meet of the 2002 season may be the one that will be

accurate, but Illinois is more like the winner of the
US trials (well, maybe not that bad). The Big Ten may
have a great history, but it was certainly not one of
the top two conferences this year.

from time to time we've raised the names of guys with super range (like
sub-4:00/sub-2:10 people). Here's a new one I don't recall anyone mentioning.
Driss Al Himer of France (né Morocco) won the Amsterdam Marathon in October in
2:07:02. That was his debut, mind you.
Note that he's also a 13:1
Yeah, but what's his 100 meters time?

How fast can he sprint 100m??
I would back Gebreselassie as having awesome range
probably 11.7/23.2/48high/1:44/3:30/12:39?/26-/60/2:08
or
El G probably mid11, mid22,47high,1:43/3;26/12:40/26- and if he was willing
to finish off his career , near 2:10 in Marathon.
