>From Paul Christman's Mai Tai Diaries on the Honolulu Marathon Week. The organizers are UM grads and bring in various and sundry UM alumni every year.

War Dog not only coaches 1500m sensation Kevin Sullivan and steeple standout Tim Broe, but now has recruited the phenom everyone is talking about: Alan Webb. It's Warhurst's job to keep the lad who eclipsed Jim Ryun's high school mile record from over-racing. There will only be three appearances on the tracks of Europe next summer. But if the HMA decides to revive the Waikiki Mile for the marathon's gala 30th anniversary next December and Webb elects to come to Honolulu, the incendiary effect upon the media and possible television coverage could be nearly as big as June Jones' Hawaii-BYU game.."
