Once upon a time I had an article on the testing of beginning track athletes
(in this case they will be middle school age) in order to obtain a general
feel for what area they might be best suited for. If I am not imagining this
and anyone else can recall this test (or any other ideas you might ha
Conditions not ideal with headwinds in straight making short sprints
slow. The Commonwealth Record fell to Bronwyn Thompson (7.00m) in the
Long Jump while Craig Mottram set a national record (13-12.04) in the

Nagel has a PB 10.15 from last year, and ran 10.16 in Pretoria in January,

what, if anything, that translates to in the 100. He looked physically

Agree. Entine's premise is that as a WHOLE, as a GROUP, East African's

More to the point, that certain ethnic backgrounds dominate, as a GROUP,

Fresh off setting a rather impressive indoor 800m record, Jolanda Ceplak is
going for the 1500 WR in Glasgow on Saturday.
Current record is 4:00.27 by Doina Melinte in 1990 which was actually a
split in her world record mile.

I also talked with Casey and his dad at the Arcadia Invitational when he ran

well liked by even his competitors, respectful, and full of life. At that
time he told me he was looking forward to college and getting faster at t

Netters:
I would appreciate it if there is someone who can contact those in
charge of the Armory track site and tell them there is something wrong with
their site, at least the part that givers the schedule for this weekend's
National scholastic meet. I presume others have run into this.
Netters:
Perhaps the real villains in the continued existence of such stupid
rules as the "hair jewelrt" cited in a recent posting is the press.
I can assure you that if we still had the number and variety of
newspapers that we enjoyed when I entered the profession, there wou

First of all, this weekend's NCAA Indoor meet here in Fayette-nam is going to be a
humdinger. Both team races should come down to the wire. Unfortunately, host Arkansas
will be without middle-distance star Dirk Heinze (as they were at the SEC two weeks
ago and last year's outdoor conference mee
