It is sad that Lynn Jennings has been so quickly forgotten. She may not have been everyone's best friend but she was a heck of a competitor and she was almost certainly clean. She took the Bronze at 10,00 in Barcelona. Ed Prytherch - Original Message - From: Wayne T. Armbrust [EMAIL

How many dumb decisions can one young man make in a single weekend, and how many can his coach let him make? He undoubtedly could have gotten his A Standard in the 10,000 more or less at will. So instead of scoring 20 points for his team with a modest effort for the weekend, he will get 10

He undoubtedly could have gotten his A Standard in the 10,000 more or less at will. He beat the standard by a little over 10 seconds in what are likely to be the best and fastest conditions he faces all year. He indicated how hard it was and how he was just trying to keep up at the end.

Malmo - Agreed on difficulty in three months, but NO one should be counting on getting an A standard in Sacramento or afterwards. It would be taking a huge risk in terms of the weather at the trials. Plus, as I said, this year you could win the trials but if four guys behind you have A

While it would be foolish to count on an A mark in the trials, it also is foolish to overstate the conditions they will be facing. Yearly averages for evenings in Sacto are quite conducive to fast running. Expect to see the kid to pop sub a 13:10 in late June or early July. This one's the real

Do you have the average July temp for Sacramento at 9:25 PM? My guess is that it's around 80 degrees having been through four Julys here. The high for the day (avg 93 for July) is usually at 3-4PM and only really starts dropping around 6:30. By 9-10PM it has usually dropped about 12-15 degrees.
