RE: t-and-f: Altitude Training Symposium

RE: t-and-f: Olympic Shot Put Decline

Not to muddy the water, but for a comparison of the decline in performance in the various weight events, it is important to remember that wind will be a significant confounding factor for the discus and javelin -- perhaps a reason why you see fluctuations in those performances in the time period

RE: t-and-f: The best non-Olympian and a new category

Now, how about Olympians who rise to the occasion? That is, athletes who, either not sure bets or wholly unexpected, come along every four years and make the team. Staying true to my Hoosiers, how about Dave Volz in '92, coming from out of the sport for ?4+? years to 5th in the Games in '92?

One of the purposes of the Regional concept was to eliminate the chasing of marks to qualify for the NCAA Championships. I don't know if this has been brought up yet or not, but we now - at least in the 5k, have created a situation where we will still have to chase marks simply to qualify for

One potential solution for US 1500m elites who can't get to 3:34... Move to the steeple. We've had 3 (or more) athletes run the A standard ***at the US champs/Oly Trials*** for as long as I can remember. Some may think that is a cop-out, but the last time I checked, an Oly medal in the SC is

RE: t-and-f: Best all-time milers by state ?

I went to HS in Nevada. It is probably Brad Meyer (Bishop Manouge HS, Reno), who led the nation in HS with a 4:06ish mile at the old Keebler meet around 1989 or 90. I'll try to look it up. Meyer went to Univ of Arizona, started partying (supposedly), and dropped of the face of the planet -

RE: RE: t-and-f: Best all-time milers by state ?

John (and all) For HS times in NV, yes, Wysocki isn't even close. But as far as the fastest mile ever by a NV hs grad (which is the question), I'll bet he's easily the fastest. With PR's of 28:19 and 13:35, he had to be capable of **at least** sub 4:05 at the time (he was likely sub 4:20 in
