Notwithstanding anything that happened in the FootLocker race, Lockhart is the real deal. He went 4:20 for 1600 as a frosh, and was somewhat overlooked as a real star last season (he had multiple sub-9 3200s) against the backdrop of a 3:53 miler and 13:44 5k kid.
I think he went 4:09 as a soph for a full Mile. Curtis is great, but Lockhart is a senior and has great marks in the 1600 AND 3200. Curtis was reportedly ill before the meet and relieved to have qualified. Both of them should watch out for Tim Moore. Top Footlocker returnee and soloed a 9:01 3200m last year. He beat Wisconsin supertalent Solinsky by a long ways. /Brian McEwen P.S. Could the indoor 2M record really be in the 9:20's ... I have Shepard's books and I could have sworn that Jeff Cannada held it with something faster than 9:20. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, November 26, 2001 2:01 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: t-and-f: Footlocker South - why so fast?

Bobby Lockhart has been the obvious favorite to take over that region after Webb's departure for two years now. It would have been much more of an upset for Curtis to beat Lockhart at this distance.
