Andy, I am a high school coach and I am not at all offended by Wayne's comments. I do pay attention to the sport outside of my conference and my kids do reach a somewhat high level of performance. I think that one of the reasons I am successful is because so few coaches pay attention or ask

Listers, I have been reading Ed Grant's posts about lack of coverage for track in NJ and I have to tell you it is the same thing here in CT. My local paper will usually only put a 3 inch column for any track news and even the local track stuff is sometimes a day late. But I just

The thing I like about medley relays is that many teams do not have 4 good 800m runners or 100m runners and often have to take people from other events to make a team. But many teams can get a decent 800 runner and a pretty good 400 runner and find two other sprinters to fill in the

Listers, It amazes me that while the women's pole vault is becoming one of the most popular events in track and field, many state associations (including Connecticut) do not include it in their schedule of events. For anyone in the northeast who is interested in the girl's pv, there

I remember seeing in a picture of the 1976 Olympic 1500 final where 5 or 6 women finished within a couple tenths a second of each other. The pictute I saw showed a very tight race. Marty Ogden
