Folks,
I was watching the PGA this past weekend and the winner of the
tournament is awarded the Wanamaker trouphy. Same organization/person
as the indoor mile? If so, can someone let me know or point me to a
link where I can read up on the background of the award.

I stole this from the PGA website. I imagine other people know more about

Yes.
This is easily a 1000-1 or more shot against Nigeria hosting in 2012. I
would wager the Nigerians themselves do not even expect to have a chance at
hosting. However, being an Olympic bidder has some cache and shows some
comitment to modernization and international institutions which are good

I agree the HS coach should take a stand, but I also think that this girl

What a great story!
It appears to me like a power struggle of who will control this young runner and
her running. It looks as if an attempt to compromise on the part of the father
was put forth, and the blame in this situation may be with the high school
program.
Although I realize the
With all respect to the many good high school coaches, there are many more
who don't know what the f%# they're doing. There are also athletes who
don't do well in a structured environment, even if the coach is good.
Finally - and most importantly in my mind - there are too many high schools

I can really see both sides to this debate. Recently, my alma mater

Think of the state
I guess back then buying/donating your name onto an event or a trophy by a

Interesting interview. But notice how Wetmore admits he knows little or nothing about
the Kenyans nor the European circuit and yet he claims EPO use is so widespread among
top runners that it is the number one reason why Americans have fallen behind the rest
of the world. Shame on him.
No shame on you. You and your employer have been embarrassingly silent
on the pervasive corruption in our sport.

I was wondering during the Euro championships why Israel was part of Europe.
Geographically it's in Asia and Jordan plays in the Asian soccer
confederation. Is this just because the Middle Eastern countries and Israel
don't want to compete against each other for security and political
concerns?
On the other hand, Nigeria would have fewer mosquitos than Houston.

Nothing unique about Bria Wetsch. Running three hard
5K races every week is wrong for every 14-year-old
girl.

Israel is in many ways a European colony. Most Israelis are descended from
European Jews and their cultural/political culture is much closer to Europe
than the middle east. It makes sense to think of Israel as a European state
despite geography.
Of course this is at the root of much of the
