Fox also did a bit on Race Walking this past Sunday night on Malcolm in the
Middle. It was well done, rather funny and tastefully done - something NBC
can't manage to pull off. Featured in the episode were US Team members Curt
Clausen, Philip Dunn, Sean Albert & Susan Armenta. An interesting com
Thought the list may be interested in the news that ultradistance runner
Ryan Rau, USATF's most recent Athlete of the Week, was written up in a small
paper called the Detroit Free Press as a result of his being honored. You

Hey, it is great to have some personal rather than canned communication to
the list from the USATF PR department for a change, rather than treating
the list as just another impersonal news outlet. (Also the note from last
Friday, about the rationale behind the AOW releases.) Very refreshing. Keep

To back Jill up on this one, they have the right idea on the Mascot, no

You left out one important detail: Was the mascot you saw last night
anywhere near as hideous as the one USATF was given? If not, then I beg

I replied in private to Steve, but I see his response was also addressed

The Mascot has an equal stupidity look, but kids don't know the

I take it that's your way of saying you can't support the statement? I
still haven't seen any evidence provided for the position that a mascot
