simple solutions then would be: 1) have the pacers continue jogging (or walking even) in the outside lane until she is finished, at which time they could "race" to their finish of the 5k 2) have the pacers continue running behind her, but fast enough that they do not get lapped

Re: t-and-f: Will this race be valid for record ratification?

It seems to me that all these special conditions for Runyan's race are not only illegal, but also absurd and detrimental to the sport. How can an athlete specify that he or she wants to run a race alone because he or she is more comfortable without other runners "interfering"? Isn't this what

Dear netters, El Salvador middle distance runner Liz Zaragoza claims a 800m of of 2:09.52 when she was 4th at Fresno, 15 April 1996. Is someone in the position to confirm that mark? Thank you. Winfried Kramer Kohlrodweg 12 66539 Neunkirchen/Germany Association of Track Field Statisticians

Nobody detests rabbited races more than I, but in this situation i suspect there's a certain element of (misguided) "humanitarian concern," relative to Runyan's blindness. gh I suspect that gh may be right, in which case this is the same BS as the Casey Martin situation in golf. I can

Re: t-and-f: Will this race be valid for record ratification?

I understand all the concerns below - but any sanctioning body would do well to wait out the Casey Martin verdict from the Supreme Court before stepping in and inviting a host of lawyers by refusing Marla her record, if she sets one. After all, the Supremes DO seem to be partial toward the

RE: t-and-f: Will this race be valid for record ratification?

When the "outcome" of the race is a forgone conclusion the predetermined winner is allowed to focus only on the time and the even pacing that usually yields the fastest time for a given athlete. This is clearly an advantage, and from what the press release said is clearly what they were planning
