RE: t-and-f: re: Etiquette vs. Rules

I wrote: As I remember the Big Ten indoor rule (forgive me, I don't have a book in front of me), it states that lapped runners must leave the track until the race is down to a certain number of competitors. I checked the indoor section of the Big Ten rulebook last night. For the 3000 and

t-and-f: the 3-turn stagger revisited

When I was railing against the IAAF's rule mandating the 3-turn stagger in the 4x4 the other day, i missed something in the rules I had forgotten. And even though nobody else has called me on it, I'll turn myself in. While indeed IAAF 170.6 mandates the 3-turn stagger, an appended "note" to

Re: t-and-f: Alan Webb misses 1000m record by 0.28

Netters Thanks John Dye for this Webb's performance fits in behind the record of 2:23.85c (George Kersh MS 1987) and 2:242.1d (Miles Irish NY 1983). Interesting we were just talking about the top guys in H.S. being out performed later by other athletes. In that thread i talked about

Re: t-and-f: Alan Webb misses 1000m record by 0.28

Mike I was at that NY state meet competing int he 1600m the year Irish pulled that double. I asked him the night before why such an odd double, and he simply said "why not?". He was awesome to watch, and it seems in the duece he was falling off the pace late, but his incredible speed brought

Re: t-and-f: Alan Webb misses 1000m record by 0.28

This reminds me of a similar odd double. In 1993, Marko Koers ran the 600 and the 3000 at the indoor Big Ten meet. He won the 600 and was 4th or 5th in the 3000 (which he ran in a body suit!). On Sat, 27 Jan 2001, Gary Liguori wrote: Mike I was at that NY state meet competing int he 1600m

t-and-f: more on Miles and high school shaningans

Netters Gary relayed that Miles Irish's quip on why he did the 600 and the 3200 in the sam meet was "why not." There is more to it than that. First, Miles had lost at the milrose mile to Stahr and he wanted to win a state title but he was unsure of his ability at two mile. You see he
