Kilmartin
misses record attempt
Eagle ID sr Donovan Kilmartin's planned attempt for a new
decathlon record was aborted due to illness (stomach flu)
Wednesday. Kilmartin had been entered in the Mt. SAC Relays
multi-events Wednesday and Thursday at Azusa Pacific College..The
versatile athlete already owns the US junior record of 7440
points. He would have tried for the record with international
implements (7359 Craig Brigham, South Eugene OR 1972), one
of the oldest records in Jack Shepard's HIGH
SCHOOL TRACK annual. Kilmartin may stay in California
to compete in the open high jump and/or pole vault at Mt.
SAC. His only other shot at the decathlon record could be
the USA Jr Nationals in June.

In
Memory Of David "Kim" Kimani
April 16, 2003
by Ricky Quintana
It is with great sadness that I read of David Kimani's
death today. I watched him run over the past few years and last
year, I had the opportunity to watch him in person as he decimated
a great
field to win the NCAA 5k Outdoor Championships in Baton Rouge.
It was a win that I had predicted to my friend, Bruce
Kritzler, and I celebrated as he finished with a 58 second last
400m slowing in the last 15 meters to a mere jog. It was truly an
awesome performance. Through my friendship with his coach Joe Walker,
Jr., I was granted an interview prior to the SEC XC Championships
with David. He was cordial and kind. He was forthcoming and honest.
His demeanor overshadowed the intense competitor I watched compete
that June evening.
At the SEC XC Champs, he again showed what he was
capable of when he was on. Walker had said that he was in awesome
shape. He pulled away from eventual NCAA runner-up, Alistair Cragg
as though he were standing still. He did it with so much ease. One
could see he was on top of his game and knew it. Something that
was just pure beauty to watch. Afterwards, he was gracious and wore
his typical wide grin. It is a memory that will live with me forever;
the ferocious competitor and the gracious winner. A few weeks later,
I watched as David finished out of the running at the NCAA XC Championships.
Coach Walker was in disbelief. I later learned from Joe that David
had suffered a stress fracture and had run on it. The last time
I saw David run was at the Gator Invitational. Joe had said that
David was coming back from his injury and was debating whether he
would run him or wait until the following week at Iowa State. As
I sat in the announcer's perch high above in the O'Connell Center
in Gainesville, I could see David with his teammates. He was not
entered in any individual events, only the DMR. He took the baton
and with great anticipation, I announced his name over the PA. All
the achievements I could remember came bellowing out. Using his
shuffling effortless style he began to rattle out 30 second 200's.
It was something to behold. He kept going, but one could see that
he was not the same. He began to slow. Unable to maintain and far
ahead of his nearest competitor, David came home with a victory,
but his time was a sub standard 4:11 for him. He tried once more
at Iowa State the following week, but he again finished in an unDavid
like time. It was sad because that ended his season indoors and
his college career. The anticipated rematch with Alistair Cragg
and Daniel Lincoln at the SEC's was gone as was the another NCAA
Championship run. Life is very simple to me. I enjoy watching people
compete and enjoy this sport which has brought so much excitement
to me. David's performances made my life just a little bit better
and I thank him for that. Words can not express how much I will
miss seeing this great runner compete. I am in disbelief that he
is gone forever. My condolences go out to his family, wife and all
that knew him. My deepest sympathies go out to Joe Walker, who I'm
sure is reeling from the news. Walker brought "Kim" to
the United States when he was at the University of South Alabama.
They shared a strong bond that was apparent to anyone who saw them
together. "Kim" trusted Joe and spoke very highly of him.
When Joe spoke of "Kim," a wide grin would appear on his
face. "Kim" died with a wonderful string of achievements
and admirers everywhere. He lived life to his fullest and I can
only wish that he died painlessly and is in a better place now..........................................
He has to
be. -ricky

43-degree night in Idaho, Kilmartin opened at 16-0, missed once
at 16-6 before clearing on a bigger pole, and then raised the bar
to 17-3.5, the highest the standards would go, clearing on his first
attempt. He will have to wait until the Arcadia Invitational this
weekend to go higher. He is doing only the pole vault at Arcadia
and then will stay in SoCal to compete in the collegiate decathlon
at Mt. SAC next week. In the Idaho meet Friday night 4/4, Donovan
ran 14.3 in the hurdles, high jumped 6'5 (one jump and quit), and
ran a 51.3 split on the 4 x400 relay in addition to the pole vault.
