Re: t-and-f: Henry Rono

I'd go to see him run if it was within 300 miles. My wife and I were among the roughly 200 fans present when he broke the WR in the steeplechase at the Northwest Relays in Seattle on May 13, 1978 with a 8:05.4 (h). After that I saw him race several more times, including the great 10,000m duel

RE: t-and-f: Altitude Training Symposium

Not that it substantially affects any of your arguments, but the altitude at Edmonton's Commonwealth Stadium track is 2,139 ft (652 m) and Boise State's Mustang Stadium is at 2,695 ft (821 m). Not a Ph.D., just a topographic map reader and data collector. ;-) Charley Shaffer Seattle -Orig

t-and-f: SP Marking at Payton Jordan Meet

Dear t-and-f listers: When watching the telecast of the Payton Jordan US Open I noticed that the official marking the shot put throws was consistently placing the stake at the FAR side of the indentation in the ground, rather than at the portion of the mark closest to the ring. It is especiall

t-and-f: Seneca Lassiter - USATF Investigation Status

Dear Listers, Seeing Seneca Lassiter on TV at the Tyson Indoor triggered something in my memory. Didn't USATF announce last year that they were going to investigate the circumstances involving his rabbiting at the World Cup? I don't recall seeing any final announcement on that. Perhaps my me

Re: t-and-f: National Depth--Hurdles - Sanchez

Garry is (of course) correct. ;-) In 2001, Sanchez reportedly said "I never wanted to run for the United States." But SI's Tim Layden was wise to the truth. See http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/inside_game/tim_layden/news/2001/08/08/layden_worlds/ Sanchez was also quoted as saying "I am full-bl

t-and-f: Andrea Anderson Status?

Does anyone know what happened to Andrea Anderson? She won a gold medal at Sydney in the 4x400 relay (ran in the preliminary rounds). I can't find any evidence of her competing after 2000. Charley Shaffer Seattle

Re: t-and-f: Ja'Warren Hooker Status

Several list members have informed me that Hooker has had an Achilles tendon injury but hopes to be competing again next year. Apparently Orin Richburg had been coaching him this year. Best wishes to Ja'Warren. I had been afraid that he had left the sport. Charley Shaffer Seattle

t-and-f: Ja'Warren Hooker Status?

Does anyone know the status or whereabouts of Ja'Warren Hooker? I haven't heard anything about him since the 2001 season. There hasn't been anything about him in the local newspapers. He was born in 1978 and ran the 100, 200, and 400 and played football for the University of Washington. I t

t-and-f: Mad. Sq. Garden Sprints Downhill?

In her post-race interview at the Millrose Games, Chandra Sturrup said something about the sprint track at Madison Square Garden being downhill. Bob H. and others: what is she talking about? In some of the camera angles of the men's sprint start, it did appear that the track went downhill pe

t-and-f: NCAA & USATF Champs in Same City

Dear Listers, Can any of you with full bookshelves dig up whether or not the NCAA Championships and the USATF (previously known as TAC and AAU) Championships were ever held at the same site in the same year before? I'm fairly sure that it hasn't happened in the years since 1960, if ever. A re

t-and-f: Regina Jacobs Status

Ye olde editor gh replied to me that he "was told in Eugene that Regina went out day before the [Prefontaine Classic] meet to warm up and forgot her spikes. Borrowed a pair and strained her Achilles. Not expected to impact her appearance at Stanford." Tonight will tell Charley Shaffer Sea

t-and-f: Hazel Clark Status?

Does anyone know of Hazel Clark's current condition? She was announced as an entrant to both the Prefontaine Classic and the adidas Oregon Track Classic, but did not compete. I did not notice any mention of a scratch in the Eugene Register-Guard. And, how about Regina Jacobs? She was also l

Returning home from 6 days of t-and-f in Oregon over 8 days, I found that my neighborhood experienced an electrical outage on Sun., May 27, and thus my VCR did not successfully videotape the Prefontaine Classic from Fox Sports Net. If anyone would be able to make a copy for me or loan me a ta

t-and-f: Deirdre Coleman Imus

Tracksters and Fieldsters: U.S. radio personality Don Imus frequently mentions that his wife had a track scholarship at Villanova. I figured I'd look her up, but I've never been able to find any notice of her career. Her name is Deirdre Coleman (although you'll sometimes see it spelled Deidr
