If you think the Olympics were bad, check out the performance of the US team
at the World Jrs in Santiago, www.nationalscholastic.org - thus far, 10/21,
the BEST US effort has been a couple 4th place finishes. NO medals!! What's
going on???? In the last two World Jrs, the USA won the unofficial team
competition in '92 and was second in '96 with the Men finishing first. Only
an awesome performance by the Chinese women kept the USA from taking the
overall title for a second time.
Didn't anyone at USATF nor any member of the coaching staff ever make a few
calls to the kids to see if they were in shape and training?
