Reggie Witherspoon's 46.11
vs. William Reed's 46.84

Solomon's Decision by Track and Field News - both records will count.
coaches Chris Malcolm and Arnie Shiffrin talk about the race and their athletes.
Reggie Witherspoon speaks out: "I believe the safety of the athletes is more important than a record. No matter what they decide to do I still know that 46.11 is still going to be 46.11, and 400m is still 400m. There are other problems in this world, and this record shouldn't be added to that long list of problems that the world is already facing."

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."

Chris Solinsky 4:07.6
Six days after his big win in the NIC 2-mile, Stevens Point WI sr Chris Solinsky ran a PR in the 1600 at home in the SPASH Invite.

Sensational 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. South Eugene OR soph Erin Gray 10:02.72 3000m US#5.

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, RunFlorida.com)
