Results from yesterday's meet in Glasgow include a national record in women's steeplechase by Liz Jackson who was timed in 9:48.72. The previous record was set just a week ago in Eugene at the USATF meet where Jackson gave up her previous NR (9:49.73 '01 NCAA) in finishing second to Lisa Nye

I'd say that the other big highlight is the continued excellent throwing of Breaux Greer. Greer tossed 85.74/281-3.5 (I don't have my Big Green Book in front of me so don't be surprised if my Imperial conversion is off by a 1/4 inch or something). He beat both Steve Backley and Mick Hill in the

The goal of such a race is to get from point A to point B. If Ritz can run the distance at a faster pace than Webb then he will win. What Ritz should probably do in such a race is to go out like a bat out of hell and drag Webb along with him. Let's say both can run 8:35, which would be 4:17.5

OK, checking farther I find that while you can set up a beer tent in the area around Hayward Field, you can't actually sell beer in the stadium. With the right licensing you can serve beer (i.e., give it away), as they sometimes do in the VIP area atop the equipment shed. Ergo, the solution
