t-and-f: The things we miss.

I think it is sad that the USATF has ruled against MJ being able to be added to the relay pool. I think that the point that is often overlooked is the rule itself. USATF instituted a rule that in order for an athlete to be able to use the "wild card" granted to them by the IAAF they must

t-and-f: The things we miss.

the USATF never said he couldn't run in Edmonton. They said that if he wants to run he has to compete in Eugene just like everyone else. In reality it's a bunch of hogwash ion MJ's part. If he wants to run on the relay so bad he should run iun Eugene -- he could run trhe duece and really give

Hunter's acquiescence smacks of guilt Track athletes need to do more to prove they are clean On the morning of last Sept. 25, C.J. Hunter sat in a jam-packed hotel banquet room in Sydney and gave the performance of his life. Two days earlier the news had broken that Hunter had tested positive

Lets see, on one hand we have a basketball star thought by many to be headed straight for the NBA, the son of a former NBA player, a kid who scores 100 points in a HS basketball game, a championship team etc. On the other hand we have a track team that has some top marks in indoor events

t-and-f: Washington (was Athletics International Rankings)

Washington's 400m record pre the US Champs was as follows 1 Sacramento 44.75, 1 Milan 44.84, 1 Turin 45.66, 2 Eugene 44.72. He was 1-0 vs Parrela, 2-0 vs Mokganyetsi, and had faster times than Cardenas and Taylor. From that it seems pretty fair to me? Am I missing any results? Sir, I think that

t-and-f: Re: Good Rankings!

I think you need to read the rankings and maybe you will see what all the complaining is about. As far as Darrell commenting on something he has an interest to is what I expect. It's the right thing to do. He has extensive knowledge in the sprints so thats what I expect him to comment on. He

Allow me to suggest you go back and read p. 11 of the magazine, where it lists the criteria we use (and have used for more than 50 years) in order to determine the Ranking order. You have cited the two of least import (head-to-head meetings and times). How you perform in big meets is the big

Remember people, Track and Field News is actually "TFN". TNF is another story altogether. Your right, I apologize. I wouldn't want my website taking the blame for some of those rankings as well :) Edward Caine, Esq. You sure you want to hang with ol Eddie Caine Jr.? - 1997

Re: t-and-f: TNF does it again

Darrell, With everyone on the list stating that you are always defending HSI, you need not pick up the rankings issue. I wonder what the criteria is for becoming a member of that ranking committee. I don't think they are watching the same meets and/or looking at the same results as everyone

1. Darrell bad argument about Bernard. He pretty much was in the right place. You would have a better argument about Curtis Johnson because at least he was second at the trials. 2. GH, let me adress your post to darrell ( not taking a personal shot at you) "Not only does he have consistent

I was looking at the rankings issue and I had to ask this question to GH or anyone else from that staff that reads this list. How is the world could you rank Robert Mackowiak number 10 in the 400? I cannot think of anything to justify that. 45.01 The kid from Saudi Arabia who won juniors

t-and-f: Elite Development Clubs

Can HSI really be classified as a club? It's really a management group. The athletes who join aren't in need of a "club" in the same way a 14:00 5Ker is. The sprinters join for John Smith's coaching, sure, but they and the others also join because of the collective bargaining the enjoy as a

Well at least we were fairly evenly matched! Stop patting yourself on the back because I saw some of those "posts". You are correct about one thing. Its not evenly matched right now, Randall's looking like Bobby Bowden and DGS is looking like Bob Stoops. oops did I write that Edward Caine,
