Subject: t-and-f: correction to hayward field 10k record
list member steve dinitale wins the 's.i.d. for a day contest' (feel free
to take over for any of the major meets this season) for a grievous error
on my part
when i mentioned the potential for a fast us 10k champs at hayward field, i
listed the oregon school record (27:50.82 oops!) as the track record -- a
time that is 21 seconds slower than the ACTUAL track record (henry rono,
27:29.90)
if they break that one, they might as well keep going for nenow's 27:20.56
g
I would guess that Salazar's mark is barely in the top 10 performances at Hayward, much less the stadium record. The Olympic Trials record is:
27:45.61
and the 1976 FOT was close between him and Shorter. Pre ran his 27:42 AR in Eugene as well. And Rono was not alone in his 27:29.
