t-and-f: CanAm I Recap: Fast 10k Highlights New Balance Boston I
(Waltham, MA) -- Japan's Megumi Tanaka's 31:42.74 win in the special invitational women's 10,000 over countrywoman Kazue Ogoshi's 31:46.31 hhighlighted a great night of competitive racing at the New Balance Boston I High Performance Meet, contested at Waltham (Mass.) High School. Former USA Fall Cross Country champion Blake Phillips set the early pace (1k - 3:07, 2k-6:15) for the women's 10,000 field. After Phillips stepped off the track at 2400m, Japan's Miwako Yamanaka and Ethiopia's Teyeba Erkesso through much of the rest of the race (3k-9:27, 4k-12:38, 5k-15:48, 6k-19:01, 7k-22:13). Tanaka, whose previous best was a 32:00.75 set last year, led the field through 8k in 25:26. Tanaka and Ogoshi pulled away from the field over the next kilo (9k-28:37), with Tanaka proving strongest over the final 400 as she notched a 31:42.74 win to claim a coveted World Championships qualifying standard. Ogoshi's runner-up 31:46.31 effort fell agonizingly short of the 31:45.00 WC standard. Ethiopia's Merima Hashim finished 3rd in 32:10.26. In other highlights, NCAA champ Otukile Lekote led wire to wire to win the men's 800 in 1:47.48. Behind Lekote, Michigan frosh Nate Brennan finished strong to claim 2nd in 1:48.42, ahead of future Wolverine teammate Nick Willis' 1:49.41. In the women's US World XC Team member Sarah Hann followed the early pace of Victoria Lynch before sprint away over the final circuit win in 4:21.70. Other winners included Heather Hennigar (800 2:07.96), Ray Weeden (1500 3:44.58), and NCAA D-3 XC/5000/10,000 champ J.B. Haglund (14:32.18). The CanAm Circuit returns again to Waltham on Tuesday (July 2) for the New Balance Boston I High Performance Meet. Afterwards the series moves on to the New Balance Maine Distance Festival (Brunswick, Maine, July 6), and the two Les Internationaux de Demi-Dond de Montreal meets (Montreal, Quebec, July 9 July 12).

t-and-f: It isn't only track
Netters: Track and field is not the only sport that US TV can spoil I was up early today to watch the World Cup final and tuned in the Univision startion rather than ABC Two notes: 1) While Abc was walloing in commercials in the minutes before the start, Univsiion was showing the paradfe of th teams onto the field, each athlete accompanied by a young soccer player (I prsume they were chosen that way), not all of them or Oriental persuaion. It was very ipressive. 2) For some reason, all through the tournament the ABC feed has been about 10 seconds behind Univision, which meant that, if you watrched ABC and then switched to Univision for the Goooal: calls, it was usually too late.

t-and-f: NYC's plans for Olympic track field
Since there doesn't seem to be any list e-mail traffic today, how about a look forward to possibilities for the 2012 Olympics. Houston's Astrodome venue was discussed this past week. Are you aware that New York City is proposing to have track field athletes warm up on a barge anchored in the Hudson River? The barge would be anchored next to the competition stadium, which would be a southward expansion of the Javits Center. The retractable-roofed exhibition hall would be a southward expansion of the Javits Center, and would be located directly over the Long Island Rail Road's currently open Hudson Yards. The proposed exhibition hall would be converted to meet all requirements of Olympic athletics. There is an artist' picture on their web site: http://www.nyc2012.com/plan.sec2.html# The stadium looks decent enough- ...no picture of the warm-up barge though. So what do you think- would it be better to warm up on a barge in a river, or in the heat and humidity of Houston, Texas? RT
Re: t-and-f: NYC's plans for Olympic track field
Pretty cool, and maybe even feasible (the total package). But a triathlon within Central Park, w/ the swimming leg in the Reservoir? I guess it beats dodging the refrigerators in the Harlem River. Jim Gerweck Running Times
t-and-f: Women's Decathlon?
Does anyone know what progress is being made toward establishing the decathlon as a women's event? Are any plans underway for holding decathlon competitions in the 2003 season? Have any already been held? In part, my interest stems from knowing of several current vaulters (including Stacy Dragila) who moved to the vault after earlier specializing in the heptathlon. It seems to me that the big advantage they would hold in that one of the events to be added to the heptathlon program would make it of special interest to them. Answer off-list, if you like, but there may be other subscribers who would be interested in this information. Cheers, Roger
Re: t-and-f: Women's Decathlon?
As part of our annual state HS multi-events in Washington, the past 2 years, there has been a HS girls decathlon. I'm not sure exactly what tables were used to score the event, or all the details, but results were reported in the local newspapers. - Original Message - From: Roger Ruth [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Sunday, June 30, 2002 8:21 PM Subject: t-and-f: Women's Decathlon?

Re: t-and-f: NYC's plans for Olympic track field
So what do you think- would it be better to warm up on a barge in a river, or in the heat and humidity of Houston, Texas? RT I'd prefer terra firma and nice balmy bay area temperatures (the third U.S. bidding city), although I guess if they hold it in San Francisco itself, it could be downright chilly. The kayaking and rowing events would be held within sight of my house in Folsom, CA, so I have to come down against either New York or Houston. At least they don't have to worry about sharks in New York rivers for the triathlon - at least no sharks that are alive :) - Ed Parrot

There will be more of this type of material, but I wanted to get something out there for interested parties. I can't take the time to answer particular questions about a particular item.

t-and-f: American Record Holder Bob Kennedy Highlights Second CanAm Meet
American Record Holder Bob Kennedy Highlights Second CanAm Meet (Waltham, Mass) -- Strong 3000 fields highlight the entries for Tuesday's New Balance Boston II High Performance Meet at Waltham (Mass) High School, the second stop on the 2002 CanAm High Performance Distance Circuit.

Also entered in the field is British national team member Karl KESKA, a former standout at the University of Oregon, and US world cross country team member Dave DAVIS. If Kennedy has successfully regained his fitness, Andre William's 1999 meet record of 7:57.35 could be in jepardy. In the women's 3000, Japan's Kazue OGOSHI -- runner-up in the 10,000 at the first CanAm event in 31:46.31 -- is slated to face off against Canadian distance star Sarah DILLABAUGH, the meet record holder at 9:08.05. Two-time Olympian Jason PYRAH is entered in the 800 where he faces a strong field of young half-mile specialists, while Matt DOWNIN and Ian CONNOR face off over 1500. Chantee EARL, 4th at last week's USATF 800 championships, will contend over 800 with top ten USATF 1500 runners Priscilla HEIN, Elissa RIEDY, and Sally HAUSER, as well as Canadian national runner-up Heather HENNIGAR -- the winner of the Boston I 800.
