Great
Southwest
May 22-24 at Albuquerque NM
this
meet
is built for speed
Doing a better job of recruiting in
talent rich Texas, the Great Southwest meet managers
have produced an entry
list that is lightning fast. The featured elite
100 and 200 meter races are loaded with nationally
ranked sprinters. The sprint relays have been expanded
to accomodate multiple teams from Texas, including
both all star teams and intact teams, such as the
Alief Elsik TX girls, who already have a national
record in hand this year (1:34.51 4x200), and the
Skyline Dallas TX girls. All four hurdle races --
100/110m and 300m, boys and girls -- boast the US#1
performer of 2003. Field events will get attention
too with three more US#1 performers including Red
Oak TX sr Michelle Carter, who set new national shot
put records this year both indoors and out.

Outdoor Championship
June 13-14 at Raleigh NC
a
new distance peak
You might have thought the high school
distance running resurgence peaked 2 years ago with
the graduation of Alan Webb, Dathan Ritzenhein, and
Ryan Hall. You would have been wrong. This year's AOC
distance fields may be the deepest ever. With 2-mile
and cross country king Chris Solinsky dropping to the
mile, meet managers are even daring to think of a sub-4
minute mile -- it has only been done once before in
a high school only race (Jim Ryun in Kansas in 1965).
Meanwhile, the girls distance stars
just keep on coming in waves every year. Ari Lambie's
4:42.21 at Penn Relays was the fastest high school girls
mile in 18 years and made her the 8th fastest ever.
Sub-4:40 has only been done by two girls, both in 1982
-- Polly Plumer CA 4:35.24 and Kim Gallagher PA 4:36.94
-- and both did it one more time that year. Perennial
champion Megan Kaltenbach is still around, along with
rising stars Nicole Blood, Katie Harrington, and Sarah
Bowman. A sub-2:05 girls 800m has happened only once
in the last 18 years. It could happen again this year
or next with three undergrads topping the US charts.

Wheeler
wins 5A team title without Witherspoon
Wheeler's star sprinter Reggie Witherspoon broke
the meet record in the 400 meters prelim at 46.44 on Thursday,
but pulled up lame in the 200 meter trial. "It doesn't
look good at all," Witherspoon told the Atlanta Journal
Constitution. Witherspoon tried to run the 4x100 final on
Saturday, but was overhauled by Stephenson's Michael Grant,
making Stephenson the new favorite for the team title. Wheeler
picked up a second in the 4x100 and then won the meet by finishing
second in the 4x400 relay as Stephenson was DQ'd for impeding
a runner. Final score: Wheeler 56, Stephenson 47.

Tommy
Skipper returns
- and misses twice!
The Sandy OR senior was last seen
at a pole vault pit March 16 in Landover MD at the Nike
Indoor Championships (left) when he broke a
pole trying for the national indoor record. The snap
of the pole broke his left thumb, apparently ending
his season goal of breaking the national outdoor record
(18-2.25 by Eric Eshbach in 1999). But 9 weeks later,
with the pin just removed from his thumb, Skipper was
on the runway Tuesday 5/20 at the Mount Hood Conference
district meet, a qualifier for the Oregon state meet
later this month. Starting at a "safe" 14
feet, Skipper was on the brink of no heighting when
he blew through poles on his first two attempts. Then
he soared high over the bar on his third try. Although
missing at 16 feet, he was safely qualified for the
state meet.
Skipper has not been idle while recuperating
from his injury. He has state ranking marks in the 100,
200, long jump, discus, and javelin. His pole vault
coach, Rick Baggett, thinks the layoff may actually
help Skipper by developing more speed on the runway
while long jumping. He can compete in post season meets
through July 31 and still count as a high school athlete.

big triples by
Frankie Gatson and Tina Harris in
very windy meet
New soph
sensation Frankie Gatson
"There were several highlights but the one that
stands alone is 16 yr old sophomore Francois "Frankie"
Gatson (Shreveport Southwood) who won and doubled in the Boys 5A
jumps. He went 48-9 (+2.7) in triple jump and 25-2.75 (+3.3) in
the long jump. Even though the wind was over the allowable limit
(2.0), the long jump put Frankie on the all-time elite list for
Louisiana and the all-time elite list for sophomores on the national
level, windaided or not. " [Juan
Plaza's highlights]. The national long jump record for sophomores
according to Jack Shepard's HIGH
SCHOOL TRACK annual is 25-2.25 (Johnny Johnson CA 1964 and Vincent
Hypolite TX 1990). The age 16 record is 25-7 (Dion Bentley PA 1988).

Lange,
Wissel, Green smash state records
Lincoln Pius X jr Elizabeth Lange
shattered the state record in the 1600 at the Auburn Invite on Friday.
Her clocking of 4:49.3 broke the 1981 mark of 4:55.6 by Lincoln
Southeast's Jenny Stricker. It was the first sub-5:00 1600 in Nebraska
in 18 years.
Kearney jr Colby Wissel broke
the state's 3200 record in the rain and wind at the Greater Nebraska
Athletic Conference meet in Columbus. His time of 9:03.09 broke
the 1999 record of Omaha North's Dana Carne (9:06.57, at Arcadia
in California). Wissel won by over 52 seconds. Kearney, meanwhile,
cruised to their 15th straight GNAC title. [Brad Hansen]
Grand Island sr Jenny Green raised
the Nebraska state pole vault record to 13-3 US#1 in her district
meet at Grand Island 5/15.

long,
lonely 10K for Keith Krieger is a success
Keith Krieger (Cherokee HS, Marlton NJ) ran
31:39.9 for 10,000 meters and a USATF junior national qualifier
5/12 at the Tuppeny Twilight Invitational at Villanova. Interesting
thing about the race was that everybody else in the field (four
guys) dropped out by 3 1/2 miles, leaving Keith as the only male
runner on the track (there was also a woman running at 38-minute
10K pace). Despite that and despite very cold & windy conditions
and despite the fact that he had never run a 10K and despite going
out with the lead group at 4:54 and 9:47, Keith finished 65 seconds
below the Jr. National standard (32:45). [Reuben Frank]
