Y ask Y: Please indulge me a moment to call your attention to one masters entrant in this Sunday's New York Marathon. Louise Tricard -- who literally wrote the book on American women in athletics (It's called "American Women's Track & Field -- A History, 1895-1980) -- is making her marathon debut at New York. As a member of the NYC Police Athletic League, she represented the USA in the Pan Am Games (1959) in the 200 and set an American indoor record in the 440-yard dash. She managed USA teams from 1978 to 1987. She's competed in masters nationals, and had a big hand in spiking the no-false-starts rule in USATF Masters. Please join me in wishing Louise good luck and godspeed in New York -- yet another versatile sprinter showing that a marathon isn't out of reach for anyone.
