Re: t-and-f: Speaking of Sprints

Dan I understand your point, as I understand Conway's.  But the truth is what it is, just as you say the event is what it is.  Very rare is there a 200 runner that cannot excel at either the 100 or 400.  The requirements needed to be a world class 200 m runner are borne out of the short and long.

Re: t-and-f: Speaking of Sprints

Darrell, I think your reasoning is a bit circular on this. Any time you have three consecutive events, anyone who's best event is the middle one is going to be better or worse at the longer one vs. the shorter one. To say this means they should really be in the bookend event seems a bit silly on
