t-and-f: Eddie Hart returns to sprint wars
Greetings, all Buried in the results of last weekend's Modesto Relays is this intriguing 100: Men 100 Meter Dash MASTERS NameYear School Finals Wind = 1 Kevin Morning Unattached 11.25 2.8 2 Greg Turner Unattached 11.35 2.8 3 Eddie Hart Unattached 11.47 2.8 4 Peter Grimes Unattached 11.59 2.8 5 J. Smith Unattached 11.73 2.8 6 Calvin CarterUnattached 13.33 2.8 7 Martin Adamson Unattached 14.18 2.8 8 Benson Ford Unattached 14.61 2.8 -- Hubert Evans Unattached DNF 2.8 If this is THE Eddie Hart of Munich fame (or infamy), we're talking some incredible sprinting. Eddie just turned 55! Here's Eddie's bio on Mirko's site: http://www.tilastopaja.net/db/atm.asp?ID=11865 For you youngsters, here's a summary (copied from Web) of Eddie's Olympic nightmare: Eddie Hart and Rey Robinson had both been timed at 9.9 sec in the US trials and were regarded as the only men capable of beating the great Russian Valery Borzov. All three won their first-round heats in the morning, but there was no sign of Hart or Robinson as the 4.15pm start time approached for the second round. Their coach, Stan Wright, working from an 18-month-old preliminary schedule, thought their races were at 7pm and Robinson was just leaving the village three-quarters of a mile from the track when he saw on an ABC-TV monitor the very heat in which he was supposed to be running. Only the third and least fancied American, Robert Taylor, arrived in time for his heat. He went on to finish second in the final behind Borzov, who won the gold in 10.14 sec. Me again: 11.47 (albeit wind-aided) is amazing for M55. The listed world record is 11.57 by Briton Ron Taylor in 1991. Eddie is not a stranger to masters (except for past 10 years). He ran a 10.87 for an American M40 record in 1989. If Eddie is in fact back, welcome, Champ! Keep on trackin' Ken Stone http://www.masterstrack.com
t-and-f: 2004 FAST Annual
Hi Gang! I know, where have I been? Well, after Mt. SAC, I ran into some medical problems that caused me to spend a lot of time in bed resting. Doing much better now and looking forward to seeing you on the circuit this summer, beginning with Home Depot next weekend. At any rate, I now finally have copies of the 2004 FAST Annual, the 26th edition of this great book. Again, it is combined with the USATF Media Guide and this is perhaps the best book yet in the series. 682 pages of data, color photos, bios, index data, records, schedules, etc., etc., etc.. Really a terriric book and one everyone should have. Paid up FAST members will be receiving their copies within the next 7-10 days. FAST members who have not yet sent in dues are encouraged to do so; I will not ship the annual until dues are paid as is customary. All others may order a copy by sending me 22.50 for regular postage or 25.50 for priority in the US. Folks ordering from foreign countries should write to me first so I can quote the postage rates. Responses are handled much faster if you write to me at: [EMAIL PROTECTED] As usual, all checks payable to me and sent to 4432 Snowbird Circle, Cerritos, CA. 90703. Thanks much and I hope to see you all soon. Scott Davis

Re: t-and-f: Eddie Hart returns to sprint wars
He didn't--his heat was just later. If I recall, He ran it in someone else's spikes that were like 2 sizes too big. [Original Message] From: Wayne T.
