t-and-f: Testing of young athletes

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

t-and-f: Melbourne Grand Prix II - Results

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 5000m. Alvin Harrison had a comfortable 200m/400m double (1h 20 between events) and Cat

t-and-f: Nagel - [was Bad News for Entine]

Nagel has a PB 10.15 from last year, and ran 10.16 in Pretoria in January, along with an indoor 20.54 last month. Quick, not fast. Saw his race in Ghent and he seemed to really churn it on at about 40m. I have no idea what, if anything, that translates to in the 100. He looked physically stro

Re: t-and-f: Bad New for Entine

Agree. Entine's premise is that as a WHOLE, as a GROUP, East African's dominate the distance races while West African's dominate the sprint races. More to the point, that certain ethnic backgrounds dominate, as a GROUP, certain sports. It's not a question of INDIVIDUAL performances, but of GROU

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. Ian Stewart, the meet director, confirmed pace makers will be added to

RE: t-and-f: Bad New for Entine (about Casey)

I also talked with Casey and his dad at the Arcadia Invitational when he ran there Mike, and as you have said, found him to be a very nice young man, 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
