The primary criterion for the ranking is the number of Track & Field News High School All-Americas in the recruiting class. Last year, Head Coach Mike Holloway signed no fewer than four Track & Field News High School All-Americans, including two who finished in the top nine in the Athlete of the year voting. Those athletes have already made names for themselves on the track and in the field. Kerron Clement (Laporte, Texas) has provisionally qualified for the NCAA Indoor Championships in the 60m hurdles (7.85), the 200m dash (21.08) and the 400m dash (46.70) and has automatically qualified as a member of the 4x400m relay team (3:06.27), along with fellow freshman Reggie Witherspoon (Marietta, Ga.). Mike Morrison (Willingboro, N.J.) has provisionally qualified in the long jump (7.65m/25-1.25), and has the best mark of any Gator in the high jump this season. Chip Heuser (Louisville, Ky.) has provisionally qualified in the pole vault, clearing 5.35m/17-6.50 for the best mark of a Gator this season in the event. Top Five Recruiting Classes of 2004 1.

Re: t-and-f: Headline - Games opened to transsexual athletes
You know what I meant about "everyone having the opportunity". Even you at 47 have the opportunity: if at 47 you can meet the minimum standards (qualifying and finishing in the top 3 at the trials), you should be able to compete (assuming you don't test positive for THG). Hell, Edwin Moses is giving it a shot. What if they find out a certain race of people have a physiologically significant advantage in a certain sport or event? Should they be disqualified from competing? And before you say that if it is a natural advantage, all the power to them. Transsexual people don't feel natural as the sex they were born as, so they need the sex change operation so they can feel comfortable with their own gender like the rest of us. That is what is natural for them. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Nov 15, 2003 1:22 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: t-and-f: Headline - Games opened to transsexual athletes On Sat, 15 Nov 2003 11:42:38 -0800 (GMT-08:00), [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: >Are you a doctor?

Hey that means I can compete next year in Atlanta too, at age 47! After all you don't want politically incorrect age discrimination do you? Or discrimination against the fitness-challenged? No, let EVERYONE compete. Just give everybody world wide the same day off every four years, to go out to the nearest track, and call it an 'everybody participates' Olympics. This is garbage and you know it. Life is full of choices. If Michael Johnson chose to have somebody chop off his Johnson, he could no longer compete as MJ. ..h RT
Re: t-and-f: Oregon coach claims sex bias
If she was paid less than comparible assistants, then she has a good claim regarding past compensation; however, she probably should lose her claim on losing out on the weight event coach position based on Lance's longer, better, and more current athletic career. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Nov 13, 2003 10:20 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: t-and-f: Oregon coach claims sex bias Former Oregon coach and national javelin champion claims she got a raw deal when Lance Deal was named throws coach for the recently combined men's and women's track program. full story at: http://www.registerguard.com/news/2003/11/13/a1.sp.sallyharmoncase.1113.html Jim Tysell

Are you a doctor? Let the medical experts decide. Open your mind a bit: if the experts say they will be competing on a equal footing, then we should trust they have the best of the Olympic movement in mind which means that everyone should have the opportunity to compete. -Original Message- From: "Wayne T.

A male to female (so-called) transsexual, even after undergoing hormone therapy, will still have much higher strength indexes than women. Can the IOC cram this down the throat of the IAAF?
