RMc wrote The wind standard creates a situation where at least a third of the performances are not eligible for record consideration, but the standard ignores the many other factors that may have equal or greater influence.
I have to say something about this. We have been down this road before. If we are talking about races were people who are capable of breaking world records compete this statement is simply untrue. I have data setting in front of me that show results from top 20 in the world type runners approximately 15% of races are over the legal wind limit. This is a far cry from "at least a third". If we are talking about NCAA races I would probably guess that figure is close. To which I say let the NCAA make up whatever rules they want. David Donley
