I wish him well. I saw him run at the indoor U.S. Nationals in 1999. A
high school kid running against the pros. He didn't do that bad as I
remember. It's going to be very hard for him to come back after so long
away from training, however. He may think he is in shape but there is no
substitute for competition. I hope he doesn't get discouraged if he
doesn't do as well as he expects.

Sprinter's comeback dreams on the line at ISU track meet
By Randy Sharer
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
NORMAL — The stage is set for either a train wreck or the feel good story of
the year at Saturday’s Redbird Open indoor track and field meet at Horton Field
House.
Running unattached in the 10:30 a.m. men’s 60-meter dash prelims — after eight
years away from the sport — will be Casey Combest, 27, of Henderson, Ky.
Combest zoomed to prominence in 1999 when he set the still-standing national
indoor high school record of 6.57 seconds in the 60.
