t-and-f: LA Times' take on Glickman

Y ask Y: Alan Abrahamson of LA Times (see http://www.latimes.com/sports/times/20010105/t01145.html) offers an interesting angle on Glickman 1936 story: Owens told Johnson, "Probably if Glickman and Stoller had been from USC, they'd have run the relay." And Mack Robinson's wife, Delano, said

Sophomore Destany Clearly (Fall River High School, McArthur, CA) won the Northern Section 400 meters in 1:00.32 in May, 2000. She placed 24th overall in the State Meet Preliminaries at :59.93. I wonder if she sees her destiny clearly. Keith Conning Vacaville

t-and-f: Clubs

Conway, For the most part, the Club system in the US is non-existent. There are a few milling around, Indiana Invaders is a good example, but for the most part there is nothing going on. That is THE problem w/ TF is the US. This is the reason that a USATF National Club Championship was added

Re: t-and-f: Clubs

Part of the problem in the US is the notion that ideas can be force fed to the masses, or that the ideas must evolve from the office. In any organization the most important part is the grass roots division. In track the grass roots division is waiting for the executives to give them the ideas and

Re: t-and-f: Clubs

Darrell, I agree that the club system cannot wait for Indy to do something, it must go for its own gold. That said, the Nat Club Champs is a great idea, one I've been behind for some time. We also need to go at this from a professional viewpoint, which means corporate sponsorship, etc.

Re: t-and-f: Clubs

For the most part I agree with both Mike and Darrell. The club system needs to begin at the grass roots and work its way up. Both on the national level and the local level, USATF needs to get fully behind this and help support and stimulate local club development. This means building on

The puzzle with that allegation, Olympic historian John Lucas said Thursday, is this: "What profit would it have been for Dean Cromwell or the [American] Olympic Committee or Avery Brundage to replace two Jews with two blacks?" Lucas, a Penn State professor, said, "I have no answer." A few

Boston and New England is filled with clubs that provide coaching and support for young athletes. There are indoor and outdoor facilities available in Syracuse, Rochester, Buffalo as well as many other cities here in the East. Coaching is always available. Most of the clubs I know do provide

As Mike Trujillo pointed out, where are the sub-elite, sub-master, local clubs? Here in the Northeast there are a few, Westchester Puma, GBTC, Reebok Boston, CMS, BAA and Greater Lowell. The one common denominator is that these clubs all have dedicated Coaches. I speak for Westchester Puma from

Re: t-and-f: Clubs

Another facet to this issue is where do these teams/clubs run. The teams clearly exist, but where are they supposed to compete during the summer, when the elite athletes are running 2-3 times a week? DGS The G.O.A.T.

The funniest joke in the world. People that leave in the States cal themselves Americans, as does the rest of the world, but America is a big place. To answer the question, yes. You can finish 40th, but if 33 of the athletes in front of you are foreigners, you are an All-American. DGS The

Mike (and all), The Club situation is one of trying to financially make it work. Here in Portland I am working on the concept of the emerging elite being part of the coaching staff for the developing athletes (youth) and getting paid as such. But still not sure of the most efficient model. We
