2003
Season Summary
a banquet of stats to end the year |
- DyeStat Elite
- 11,617 performances that won listing in DyeStat's own national
rankings - there were 3,573 in cross
country - 3,500 indoor -
4,544 outdoor.
- Top Returnees
- DyeStat Elite performers who will be back in 2004 - we have
3,776 returnees, including
a bunch of 2003 US#1 performers.
- Outdoor
- Nine US#1 performers from the 2003 boys rankings will be
back in 2004. Florida's football-sprinter stud Xavier Carter
is a triple top returnee (100, 200, and 400). Jason Richardson
(110H, 400H) is a double leader. On the girls side, Alandra
Sherman was the US#1 hurdler of 2003 at 100m and 300m so she
is naturally the top returnee for 2004. Shalonda Solomon,
brilliant anchor of Poly Long Beach CA's record setting relay
teams, moves up as top bet to fill Allyson Felix's shoes in
the 100 and 200. Katya Kostetskaya, from Arkansas via Russia,
starts her junior year top rated in the 800 and 400H (European
junior champion).
- Indoor
- Very talented returning group of girls led by 3-event leaders
Natasha Hastings (300, 400 and USR 500) and Erica McLain (55H,
LJ, TJ). Double event leaders are Katya Kostetskaya (800,
1500), Sarah Bowman (1000, Mile), and Nicole Blood (3000,
2-mile). Galen Rupp (3000 and 2-mile) is the only double leader
in the boys lists.
- Cross
Country - Foot Locker finalists
lead three of the four returnee lists, including girls champion
Zoe Nelson, Flathead MT, who had the four best 3-mile times
of the 2002 season and then won at 5k in San Diego, plus Nicole
Blood (17:04 5k) and Galen Rupp (14:56 5k). The fourth leader
is Mark Matusak (14:20 3 miles).
New
Faces - the freshmen (and younger) athletes
who made DyeStat Elite national rankings. These are the stars
of the future, and for some, like Nicole Blood, the future
is now. Proving again that girls mature earlier than boys,
there are 387 girls on these lists and only 31 boys - 418
new faces
- Outdoor
- North Carolina hurdler Kris Fant is the leader at both
110m and 300m. Elizabeth Olear, the newest of California's
inexhaustible flow of girl sprinters, leads at 100 and 200
meters.
- Indoor
- Nicole Blood, already in her third year on the Saratoga
NY varsity, leads five events from 1000 to 2-mile. Shana
Woods, who cracked the lineup of the record setting Poly
Long Beach CA relay squads, leads three events.
- Cross
Country - Foot Locker finalist Nicole
Blood leads the 5k list.
