What about if you set a record and then your school changes leagues. Does the mark still stand as a record in the old league??

This is more to determine what the existing league record was (and by extension > whether it was broken in a meet last weekend) Much easier than the four minute mile question (although poring through an old T&F News issue is very enjoyable) - of course not. A league is an entity that din't exist when the mark was set. If an 8th grader in a middle school runs 4:15 for the mile, and didn't get faster when he got to high school, the high school wouldn't consider that the school record. It's the same thing. - Ed Parrot -------------------------------------------------------------------- mail2web - Check your email from the web at http://mail2web.com/ .
