t-and-f: '03 NCs finishign on June 14
if that comes to pass, it will be the lastest NCAA finish since the 1971 meet (Seattle), which was June 19. Latest date ever was June 23, 1934, hosted by USC. One nice benefit of this new dating is that (assuming that USATF stays in its third-weekend slot) that top-level collegians will be able to go to Sacto for the NCs, train for a week in glorious NorCal and only have to wander an hour down the road for USATF. gh
Re: t-and-f: Regional Qualifying (long)
I respect the work that Raplh and others have done. I believe that most involved did so out of a love for the sport and their desire to see it suceed. My main problem is that the premise that we need more individuals at the NCAA is flawed to begin with. Nationals is about finding out who the best in the country are and which teams have the most numbers of those individuals who can get it done at nationals. Regionals won't draw more fans, it'll just further dilute the sport. And it makes kids think they're truly national class when they're nowhere close. Isn't that half the problem with US distance running? We've got people running around running 3:40, 1:47, 13:35 thinking that it's something special. Contrasts that with the sprints and hurdles at the NCAA's and you'll start to get an idea why we're so far behind on the world scene. --Kebba From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] CC: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: t-and-f: Regional Qualifying (long) Date: Thu, 2 May 2002 21:53:17 EDT I'm also a bit surprised that there has been no discussion here re: the NCAA approval of regional qualifying, and I was hoping someone else would initiate the discussion. Having seen none, I'll then take it on myself to announce that, in fact, the NCAA Division I Board of Directors (18 university presidents), last Thursday approved (a) 40% increase in field size for men's and women's Division I NCAA Outdoor Championships, and (b) the regional qualifying concept.

Both regional qualifying and the field size increase will go into effect with the 2003 NCAA Outdoor Championships in Sacramento. Those Championships will now be staged on June 11-14. Next year's regional meets will be staged on May 30-31. The NCAA TF Committee will shortly be sending out a letter to all NCAA Division I institutions soliciting bids for the four (4) regional meets. Much of the framework for the regional qualifying setup has been established from meetings of an ad hoc committee made up of NCAA TF Committee members as well as representatives from the USTCA/Division I Coaches Association, which met initially in Chapel Hill, NC in January, 1999. Their recommendations were reported to the Coaches Association at their December, 1999 convention in Los Angeles. There remains much refining to be done of the mechanics of how the system will work, for example, the format for the 2-day regional meets and for the expanded NCAA Championships themselves, how the at-large process will be managed,etc. The NCAA TF Committee has invited the Coaches Association to partner with them in further defining these parameters. I'm sure that critics will resume flaming this concept as they've done in the past, and I'm just as sure that the next few years will find this process evolving as we iron out the flaws that the critics will rightfully point out. However, IMHO, the addition of regional qualifying and expansion of our Championships will set collegiate track field back on a road to recovery in the form of increased attendance and attention from fans and media. (And my good friends, Scott, DJ and Mark-- any increased attendance and attention will enhance your great meets as well!

t-and-f: Ethiopians can't make Bolder Boulder
By Michael Sandrock For the Camera The powerful Ethiopian men's and women's elite teams will not be racing the Bolder Boulder 10K this year because of a conflict with that country's national track and field championships. However, two new teams, Ireland and Costa Rica, have been added to the professional team race. The Bolder Boulder consists of a citizens race that drew more than 44,000 walkers and runners last year. That is followed by professional races consisting of international, three-person teams going for a purse of $108,000. The Ethiopians have traditionally battled Kenya for the team title. Two years ago, Ethiopia swept the first three places in the women's elite race. But this year Ethiopia's track championships are set for May 29, and Ethiopia's track federation does not want its athletes traveling close to the national championships. We are disappointed that Ethiopia cannot make it this year, but we still will have a very strong race, said race director Cliff Bosley. I am excited about the addition of Ireland and Costa Rica. Said elite athlete coordinator Rich Castro, The African federations are very strict. It is unfortunate, but it is completely out of our hands. Castro said the Costa Rican men's team will be a mix of experience and youth. It will be led by Olympian Jose Molina, a past winner of the Los Angeles marathon. The Irish women's team will be captained by Natalie Davey. She is coached by Boulder's Lorraine Moller and is the winner of several local races. Some of the elites coming to the Bolder Boulder, including Scott Larson, one of the three members of the U.S. men's team, will be racing Sunday at the IAAF World Half-Marathon Championships in Brussels, Belgium. BUFFS RACING TONIGHT: Jorge Torres and some of his University of Colorado teammates will get a chance to post fast times tonight at the Cardinal Invitational in Palo Alto, Calif. There will be excellent distance racing opportunities, said head coach Mark Wetmore. The fields from the 800 meters through the 10,000 are loaded. Sarah Gorton, Jodie Hughes and Natalie Florence will be racing the 5,000 meters; Tera Moody and Ed Torres are entered in the 10,000 meters; Matt Queen is in the 800 meters; and Steve Slattery, Torres and Dathan Ritzenhein will race a fast 5,000 meters. Rabbits are expected to take take the runners through American record pace. In addition, Lex Butler, Hannah Cooper and some of the Buff sprinters will be racing this weekend in Austin, Texas. full item: http://www.thedailycamera.com/sports/running/03bolder.html Education is the ability to listen to almost anything without losing your temper or your self-confidence. -Robert Frost _ Sign up for a 6mb FREE email from http://www.spl.at Join the buzz, chat with us! http://chat.spl.at _ Promote your group and strengthen ties to your members with [EMAIL PROTECTED] by Everyone.net http://www.everyone.net/?btn=tag
Re: t-and-f: Regional Qualifying (long)
Isn't that half the problem with US distance running? We've got people running around running 3:40, 1:47, 13:35 thinking that it's something special. Contrasts that with the sprints and hurdles at the NCAA's and you'll start to get an idea why we're so far behind on the world scene. Whether it's the old qualifier system or the new regional system, sprinters and distance runners both qualify for NCAAs by the same method, so its hard to see how that's a key difference that somehow explains something about their relative levels of excellence.

t-and-f: Altitude conversion help needed!
Can someone PLEASE either tell me of a program or a location whre I can find out how to convert different times and distances based on altitue? I bought the Big green book and am having trouble figuring it out (and this from a computer teacher!) It has all sorts of stuff like wind conversion etc, on the chart, but no straight forward chart. Here is what I am trying to do: Example: 1. An athlete run 16:30 5K at 3000 ft. What does it convert to at sea level? 2. Same athlete runs 3212 at 5000 ft. Conversion? Etc. I have done several searches on the net and am coming up blank. I have gotten several responses asking that I forward the chart and/or program address to them, so obviously it is not easily found.

Kebba Tolbert wrote: ...Regionals won't draw more fans, it'll just further dilute the sport. And it makes kids think they're truly national class when they're nowhere close. OK, I've got to pipe in on this one. I disagree with this statement. The point is, what's wrong with making someone think they're national class when they earn it by beating others who are supposedly better? Competition is what the regionals will bring back and that's important. We set every other level of track and field championship qualifying on the premise that you have to earn it. Meaning, you don't get a spot the Olympic marathon team because you are Khalid and you are the WR holder and a good 7 minutes faster than anyone else in the field, you have to place in the top 3 on that day. You do not get a spot in any HS state or community college state meet, you have to earn it by qualifying for it. How do you get to Footlocker Nationals? You earn a spot by racing well that day. Why in the heck do we say you've run time x in a controlled environment 10 weeks ago and that allows you to be included into the big show for collegiate track and field, when we do not do that at any other level in our sport? Regionals qualifying times, sure these make sense. But basing qualifying for the National championships exclusively on times is killing any excitement we have. Are we raising time trialers or racers? We are a country that loves cheering for the underdog and seeing head to head competition when something is one the line. NCAA basketball has a qualifying proceedure that hugely competitive and draws its share of fans based entirely on this premise. Oly trials? You bet that's exciting because everyone understands that top 3 goes, plain and simple and this draws fans from every corner. In my opinion Regionals is the only idea that will bring fans back to D1 college track and field. As it stands now most college meets are one big, fat yawn. Nothing at stake for coaches or athletes. Give me the California HS state qualifying meets ANY day over the Cal/Stanford duel or USC vs UCLA. The kids in HS run with heart because if they falter they stay home. The kids in the college meets go through the motions because nothing is at stake and the only meets that matter are the ones they're hoping to get a qualifying mark in. Sure there's a place for the meet tonight at Stanford or Mt Sac for people that want to push the envelop and see how fast they can run, but as it stands now, there is not a meet in NCAA D1 where the coaches and athletes point towards that meet because it means something and meaning something is defined as do or die. A meet where a coach from a smaller program who can mobilize the troops can come from behind and beat out better known programs. Where a kid who's been waiting to bust loose at the right time see's another guy who only 8 weeks ago ran 3:41 in his sights with 100m to go and a qualifying spot to the big show on the line. A meet that would get supporters of each program in the stands yelling and screaming and waving flags because everyone understands what is at stake. None of that exists currently. Give me a meet where everyone has a shot at making the nationals and those that perform that day earn a qualifying spot and I'm traveling in a heart beat to see it. The way it's set up now, the Pac 10's could be held locally and I'd probably go to the Garden Show instead. Just nothing to capture my interest at most meets right now. Scary thing is, I'm a track fan. Imagine people who don't know anything about the sport and take the time out of their days to give track and field a try as a spectator. Like I said, one big, fat yawn because there is absolutely nothing to compete for. We can continue to do things staus quo and loose fans to other sports or go back to what filled the stands with 60,000 people to see the US vs Russia. Me against you, mano y mano, we are the champions, Rudy, Breaking Away, Charriots of Fire kind of stuff. What sports are all about really, competition.

Re: Re: t-and-f: Regional Qualifying (long)
Kebba-I know you too are a big track fan and that you just want what's best for the sport, just like we all do, but I do not think that the primary reason for the existence of the NCAA TF meet is to determine who is best. That's a result of having the meet, but the REAL reason for the meet existing at all is to provide a fantastic 4 days of the very best collegiate meet possible. Would the NCAA baskteball tournament exist if they played the games in some obscure gym with only a few dozen fans in attendance? No. Elite sports exist because they are a spectacle. Increased numbers at the NCAA meet will mean more qualifying rounds and more excitement. And that will bring more fans. sideshow
t-and-f: O'Sullivan going for 4th World title
http://www.examiner.ie/index_examiner.htm By Brendan Mooney SONIA OSULLIVAN could be ready to add a fourth world title to her CV by winning the half marathon championships in Brussels on Sunday if her assessment of her recent training stint at altitude is correct. Already with two world titles in cross-country and the world 5,000m title from Gothenburg on her long list of successes, she has prepared diligently for Sundays world marathon championships which she expects will bring her back into the world rankings. I am not in the top 50 this year after my break and I need to get myself back in there, she said. This is a world championship and you are going to be running against the best in the world. To prepare for the event she took the family to Laguna Mountain in California where she set up a training camp along with Kerryn McCann of Australia, the seventh fastest half marathon runner in the world last year. I got in 20 days of very good training. Right now I feel very fit and ready to race, she said. Paula Radcliffe, winner of the title for the past two years, is recuperating from the Flora London Marathon and will not be defending her title. In fact she is scheduled to visit Gerard Hartmann in Limerick next week. But this does not mean the race will be less competitive. Susan Chepkemei, runner-up for the past two years, sees this is her best opportunity of taking the title. Yet she will go in as underdog to fellow Kenyan, Tegla Loroupe, a three-time winner of the title. The two Russians who finished behind Radcliffe in her record-breaking debut in the London Marathon, Svetlana Zakharova (2:22:31) and Lyudmila Petrova (2:22:33) are included in the field. Japan, as usual, have a powerful womens team headed by the woman they call The Queen of the Half Marathon, Mizuki Noguchi. She finished fourth behind Paula Radcliffe in Bristol last year, posting a personal best at 68:23 and a month later she won the Nagoya half marathon in 68:28 and launched the current campaign with victory in the Miyazaki womens road race in 68:22. She also made a winning marathon debut at 2:25:35 in dreadful weather conditions in Nagoya. When the event was last staged in Brussels, the enigmatic army corporal, Vincent Rousseau, provided the perfect result, winning in 61:06 before the home crowd. This year Belgium has two big medal chances in the former world cross-country champion and European record holder at 3,000m, 5,000m and 10,000m, Mohammed Mourhit, in the mens race and Marleen Renders in the womens event. Renders will be one of the favourites to lift the womens title after her solo marathon effort in Paris last month when she won in 2:23:05. She won the Antwerp marathon in 1995 and Berlin in 1998 and her half marathon history stretches back to 1994 when she finished seventh. On March 23 she ran a new personal best of 68:56 for the half marathon when a close second to Kenyas Lenah Cheruiyot in The Hague. The Kenyan is also on the team for Sunday. Sonia OSullivan was stating the obvious when she said she would be running against the best. She has run the distance twice winning the Great North Run on her own on both occasions and she has a best of 70:05. In a much more competitive atmosphere she is likely to take a huge chunk out of that time.

Heck, imagine the lineup of track meets on the West Coast in May/June next year!!! My only fear is tha the Western Regional meet will conflict with the Prefontaine Classic, but maybe Oregon will host the meet, and they can have it Friday/Saturday with Pre on Sunday. Then the next week will be the Stanford GP, then NCAA, then the USATF Senior/Junior meet the week following. Throw in the Portland GP II meet a few weeks earlier, the Cal High School meet and a Pac-10 somewhere and you've got a lineup that would even be better than last year's Pre/NCAA/Portland GP/Stanford GP/Nationals West Coast extravaganza. sideshow

Contrasts that with the sprints and hurdles at the NCAA's and you'll start to get an idea why we're so far behind on the world scene. Well, I don't completely disagree with Kebba about the number of individuals at NCAA's. I don't think that increasing or decreasing the number at nationals will have all that big an impact on the sport either way. In fact, I don't believe that the regional system will have a big impact on nationals at all other than the fact that the date will be later, which could be either good or bad. The important thing about regionals is that it will affect the rest of the NCAA season by stimulating competition. It will bring the sport back to where it should be - focusing on head to head competition. It may also generate more fan interest by having a head to head competition besides nationals that actually means something. The basketball people have leaned to love it when there area lot of conference tournament upsets, because they know it means more chance of a big upset in the first round. In the same vein, I'd love to see a 3:55 1500m runner make it to nationals because he has a good kick and none of the faster runners wanted to go faster than 65 for the first 3 laps. As a fan, I'd be more likely to go watch a regional meet than even a distance friendly invite like the one this weekend at Stanford. As for the problem with U.S. distance running, I don't believe that making people compete for their spot at nationals is going to give people any additional misimpressions of their talent. I firmly believe that the largest part of the distance running problem happens before the national level - it's the lack of depth and competition opportunities at the local and regional level that are having a ripple effect. The new NCAA qualifying can only help that. The top-heavy focus of the current efforts at stimulating distance running will ensure that we will always have a few runners who can keep U.S. running from slipping any further, but it will be almost useless in stimulating a larger group of developing runners who have the potential to actually scare world class times. Without a lot more lower level efforts, most of the talent pool we do have will not end up being in the right place to make it to the highest level, and any future success, as it was in the 70's, will be based more on fortuitous circumstances than on any efforts to support runners. - Ed Parrot

Hennig suspended for using steroid Associated Press COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. -- Pole vaulter Scott Hennig has been suspended from USA Track and Field competition for two years for using an anabolic steroid. Hennig, 33, of Austin, Texas, tested positive for methandienone, also known as Dianabol, during an out-of-competition test on Nov. 28, U.S. Anti-Doping Agency spokesman Rich Wanninger said Friday. His suspension is retroactive to the date of the test. The U.S. Anti-Doping Agency, an independent agency funded by the federal government, oversees drug testing of U.S. athletes. http://espn.go.com/oly/news/2002/0503/1377783.html
