Amid all this very interesting discussion about the US team for
Edmonton, please remember that the US is in the fortunate position of
being able to send the maximum of 3 athletes per event (if qualified).
As has been mentioned sometimes in the past, this is not true for most
other countries.

streets of Bluejeans, OR this Saturday a.m... further info

Maurice Greene announced yesterday that he would only run the first round of
the 100 here, thereby satisfying USATF's policy that requires those athletes
with wild-card status for the Worlds to participate in this week's
Championships.
Greene did promise a fast race on Thursday, and then

NAIROBI, June 20 - Kenya's top athletes criticise a decision to reduce by
about a third the size of the country's team for the world championships.

From a Dixon bio:
In 1973, the day before Rod's epic 8m 29s national record
steeplechase debut at Oslo, Dixon ran another very important race.
JEEZUZ,
Totally off this subject, but I didn't know Dixon had ever steepled.
He was world-class in the 1500/mile. Had some near WR-level 2 miles
Ryan Hall 3:42.70 qualified
Christopher Bennett 0.00 not qualified
Paul McMullen 0.00 not qualified
I was at a meet at Hillsdale College two weeks ago that was set up
specifically to qualify distance runners for Nationals ...
In the 1500m, Paul McMullen ran (from my watch) a 3:42.7

Should anyone know of a track field philanthropist out there who might

If you think that's bad, you should have seen what happened to the perps in

While intelligent people can often simplify the complex, a fool is more
likely to complicate the simple.
One overlooked factor in Ritzenheim's case is that Michigan's rules on
high school athletics prevented him from running in more than two (?)
invitationals, which meant that he ran only one 5000m on the track this
spring. In other words, he missed the qualifier by less than a second
in his only

Hall and Ritz have proven in head to head competition that they deserve to
compete at this level. Don't get tied up in times and qualifying marks. This
kind of thinking is what is wrong with ncaa tf today.

Back in 1968, they wouldn't let Bob Schul run the trials when he was

my new Masters would easily let me walk the earth to Eugene (two of them

There
has been much discussion on the list recently about the top improvement from HS
