Not only that, but he broke his own indoor masters world record of 49.14 set last 18Feb. Looks like he could have a shot at the outdoor M40 world record (s) for 400 meters of 47.87 by Manuel Ulacio and a hand-time 47.5 by Lee Evans. -Original Message- From: Andrew Owusu [mailto:[EMAIL

I agree 100%. The World Cross Country Championships was always unique because you had marathoners to milers racing together, that was the idea. Having two races defeats the purpose. I still consider the 12K to be the Championship and the 4K the kids race. If you can't run with the big boys,

Bob, COOL! While you are down sizing cross country, why not do the same to track. Only 1 weight event. Heck they all spin now, so as long as they spin and have a weight they must be the same. Let's not water down the events. Same with the horizontal jumps. If you can jump once,you can jump 3

Personally, I love the 4k. But I do understand your wish to see everybody duke it out in one race. Honestly, in the u.S. anyway, I think most of the athletes do the 12k if they want to be in the more competitive race - thus I don't see the dilution of competition you're concerned about. As to
