BISHOP TO SERVE AS RACEWALKING
Track made today's Boston Globe with an
announcement of Franklyn Sanchez's breaking Steve Prefontaine's 1970 5km Junior
record.
I suspect Steve Vaitones fed the Globe. Good work.
Kept my coffee warm.

List member Keith Conning got off an all-timer while doing PA at Stanford on Sunday.
A member of the archrival Cal team came to the booth and handed us a note with the
make and license of a car with its lights left on. We thanked her, and Keith asked her
for her name.
He then announced,
Some interesting splits were taken during Koch's 47.60 WR.
Times by her coach (and future husband) Wolfgang Meier were 10.9 - 11.5
(22.4) - 11.7 (34.1) - 13.5 (47.6)
The split for the 1st 100 which went around a curve was probably off and
likely at least a few tenths slower.

Larry Rawson has been working on a story on the history of dietary
supplements that will be shown on ESPN's "Outside the Lines" on Sunday from
10:30am-11am(EDT)(7:30-8:00/PT). It will be rebroadcast on ESPN2 the same day
from 12:30-1pm(EDT) (9:30-10am/PT).

Another kind reader had dialed up some cash for the event. Tim Burger
(I guess it's Dr Burger as he's just finished up his PhD studies at
UCLA) formerly of Morro Bay HS and currently running for Fila West has
ponied up $100, so add that to second and third place which now sit at
$250 and $150

Has a US Athletics Calendar 2001 been published this year? I sent
two emails to USATF but got no reply.

13:38.39 this past weekend, breaks the US Junior mark
of 13:39.6 set by Steve Prefontaine in 1970?
Prefontaine's 5k Junior record stood for over 30 years .. much longer than
any of his other HS or American Records. probably because the 5k is run
more rarely as an 18-19 year old ... and
Another kind reader puts up cash for the Red Estes Mile. Robert Grove
of Comstock Mortgage in Sacramento takes a few minutes from my home
refinancing to donate $100 on the win. First now stands at $600 for
Saturday's men's mile.
Thanks for keeping it coming folks! Joe

Mennea's 200m - was it close to 20 years?

school will touch that for a very long time if ever.

walking fans will appreciate that when Arthur Plumb of Great Britain set a world
record on May 7, 1932 for 20 miles - then an IAAF recognized event - he broke
the previous WR by Thomas Griffith, set on Dec. 30, 1870.

When you look at the high school lists, the records as they currently stand are pretty outstanding ... Most seem fairly unapproachable ... The following (along with the marathon) I would say may never be broken at this point:
SP - 81'3.5 - Mike Carter 1979
4 x 400 - 3:07.40 - Hawthorne 1986

Conway,
I think this one can go down if some of the Texas and Cali teams geared
toward it. Obea Moore and crew approached it several times but just couldn't
get it. I remember them
Trust me, Texas high schools are always looking for fast 4x4 times. It's
probably the premier race in the state. Sooner or later it will fall, but
it's still an awfully tough mark for four kids from the same school -- four
teenagers averaging 46.85!
If anyone's interested in the top HS marks in
Brad Hudson used to do Sunday runs almost that fast.

I don't know how modern marathon statisticians view Clayton's time, but
there was certainly no end of skepticism about course length for many years
after we ran it, and there's no doubt that course-measuring techniques and
requirements weren't remotely as effective then as now.
To me, the shot put and the 10,000 are the two
records that are most out of reach on that list, with the mile and the 4 x 400
next. I think there's every chance that we'll see the 2 mile and 5K fall
in the next 5 years, while the 400m is the type of event where I can see some
stud coming

I would think that either Sanchez or Dathen would have a reasonable
shot.
insignificant as this discussion must seem to our non-U.S. listers, it does
raise some interesting discussion!
some other HS marks that may be tough to beat:

since it was set? 20.46 in 1990 by Henry Neal.

that first split may be off a couple of tenths, but watching the race, I can
remember being astounded at the speed with which Koch ran the first 100. It
looked faster than in her 21.9 200 on the first day of the 3-day World Cup
meeting. Don't know if GH was there, but I know Jim
garry
I take your point on improved measuring of courses. Antwerp was only used
once or twice as I understand it, though was fast to satisfy Clayton's
request for such a course.
As regards being so far ahead of his time as to justify some ''nay-sayers'',
Clayton also smashed the Fukuoka course
