Surgery
for
Tommy Skipper
Sandy OR sr Tommy Skipper, who won the NIC pole vault
at 17-3.75 before breaking his left thumb when his pole shattered
on takeoff attempting a national record, is to undergo surgery Thursday.
His outdoor season is in doubt. "I'm very disappointed,"
Skipper told the Portland Oregonian. "That was my second meet
this season, and I was feeling really good about my runway approach,
my takeoff was looking better, everything felt like it was coming
together. It's hard to tell yet whether I'll be able to go at the
state meet. I don't know much about the healing process or how strong
the thumb will be."

HS marks in college meet
Mike McGrath 1:50.09
Joaquin Chapa 4:11.57
Galen Rupp 8:12.30
Tommy Skipper 17-0.75
Lincoln OR sr McGrath is now US#1 in DyeStat Elite national
rankings at both 800 meters and a mile. His 800 was faster than the listed
HS record (1:50.55 Michael Granville 1995) but will probably not be accepted
as a record because of the oversized UW track. With Shelton WA jr Alex
McClary at 1:52.15 and Bainbridge WA sr Tim Freeman at
1:52.16, the race produced the first, third, and fourth fastest 800's
of the indoor season. Grant Portland OR sr Chapa ran
a US#2 mile behind McGrath's 4:10.87 earlier this season. Central Catholic
Portland OR jr Rupp moved into US#1 in the 3000 meters.
(Grant OR sr Alec Wall 8:14.77 US#3 and Auburn Riverside
WA sr Carl Moe 8:30.07 US#4). Sandy OR sr Skipper,
US#1 indoors last year, opened his 2003 campaign with US#2 for the season.

Ryan Deak suspended
from team
TALLAHASSEE FL 3/6/03 -- Maclay high school coach
Gary Droze confirmed today that Ryan Deak's scratch from this Friday's
Jacksonville Bolles Bulldog Classic was a result of disciplinary action
taken after the Chiles Relays on Tuesday. "Ryan was dismissed for
refusing to run events I instructed him to run," Droze said in an
e-mail this afternoon. Droze added that the dismissal was indefinite and
left the possibility for Deak to return to the team. Deak, a Foot Locker
cross country national finalist, is one of the leading distance runners
in the nation. (Ricky Quintana,
