t-and-f: Long jump with a flip

2002-11-10 Thread P N Heidenstrom
Some more, for those interested in a little US/NZ history. When John Delamere jumped 25' 63/4 at the 1974 Pacific Conference meet he tied with Randy Williams, the reigning Olympic champ. He did not just wow the crowd; the officials at the pit suddenly became speechless. John's best legal jump

I saw Setta in H.S.; firmly convinced he could have broken 1:50 for 800 if he concentrated on running. Combining this with his jumping ability... Anyway... is Setta still involved in track? It would be quite a shame if he isn't and only plays football. --- Mike Prizy [EMAIL PROTECTED]

We have a lister here whose son was one the DQs. I think they finally got over the Great American fiasco after the son won a Texas state title yesterday. Way to go (the other) Sully! P.S. Move back to Illinois. Ed Grant wrote: Netters: Now Nicole Blood of Saratoga has joined NJ's

Ed Having been at the NYS Meet (and filing the Dyestat report), this situation is not the fault of the officiating. At some point the athletes coaches need to wake the F up. The Sunken Meadow course was known to be the State Meet for over a year. Everyone had a chance to run it during the
