Wait just a cottonpickin' minute there...
In all seriousness, if you want any of your argument to be respected, don't
forget to mention getting rid of the walks.
It would be neat to see marathoners and milers racing, but it doesn't really
happen. Imagine Khannouchi and Gabe tangling at the US X-C Champs. One guy
from another country and one guy from another planet. Great stuff.

I say compromise -have the duo jump or call it the hop-step. Forget the long
jump and the triple jump.

shouldn't be on the track.
