t-and-f: Regionals

I'd love to see a variation on golf's U.S. open scenario, where 25% of the USATF nationals participants come via local and regional qualifiers. It would create more local publicity for the national meet without affecting the top places very much. More importantly, it would create a logical and

Excuse me, but what percentage of the time when a gun is fired at Penn is there even the theoretical possibility of an NCAA qualifying mark being recorded? While I cannot answer to Division I (and I know that a lot of the list members believe that DI is the only real track and field division

t-and-f: Marion vs. Marita

Danny McCray raised an interesting point in an off-list post, and that's that the "WR" that Marion Jones is going for at Mt. SAC, 34.1, was run around two turns (because it's the 300 split in Marita Koch's 47.60 WR in the 400). Marion will have the advantage of only having to run a single

Have to agree. Certainly thre will be some wrinkles and bugs to work out as folks absorb the change. Big thing is it may help pump a bit of life into college track which has been moving toward terminal for a long time. We can't achieve March Madness but at least this may help get more notice

The two points are related. Track Field doesn't get scholarships because it isn't a money sport. And it isn't a money sport because it doesn't generally draw spectators because, for example, last chance qualifer meets are a joke that nobody comes to see. Casual spectators want to see races not
