field of elite international runners announced for for Junior Invitational Miles at Boston Indoor
Kenneth Cormier and Aislinn Ryan, the reigning Foot Locker Cross Country national champions, headline a field of elite international runners set for the Junior Invitational Miles at the Reebok Boston Indoor Games at Reggie Lewis Center on Jan. 29. With deep fields for both boys and girls, the new Junior Invitational Mile is set to be one of the best in the country in its inaugural year.

PA is popping in field events -- Central Dauphin PA sr Ryan Whiting's 68-9.5 shot put at Kutztown Saturday is not only US#1 this year, but it is the best indoor throw in the US since 1990, when indoor record holder Brent Noon CA (74-11) and Jesse Stuart KY (71-11) were rewriting the record book with 70-foot throws. Octorara PA sr Ryan Fritz (photo below by PennTrackXC.com) is the season's only 7-foot high jumper, and he did it twice, ending with a US#1 mark of 7-0.25 Monday in the Chester County Championships.

Southern Track Classic revived -- The meet, held from 1999-2003 at Dinwiddie VA, will be revived this year at Richmond. Co-hosts are King's Fork High School and the University of Richmond. Contact King's Fork principal and meet director Dan Ward.

"Marvelous Mal" Whitfield, Olympic 800m gold medalist in 1948 and 1952, was at the Hispanic Games in the New York Armory Saturday to help Armory president Dr. Norb Sander hand out Leadership of Tomorrow awards to student-athletes.

Simon Gratz PA boys run 1:27.96, US#8 all time 4x200, to lead a flurry of US#1 marks
John Dye's Hispanic Games photo album -- 38 action shots tell the story of the featured races. In boys mile (below) St. Benedict's NJ sr Bryan Scotland (center) answered challenges by Mark Russell of Lockport NY (1) and Jon Martinez of North Rockland NY (13) to win in 4:14.35 US#2 with three more runners under 4:19. Scotland qualified for the Millrose Games mile.
  • Hispanic Highlights
  • B 4x200 - Simon Gratz PA, already the best in the US this year, improved their US#1 mark to 1:27.96, US#8 all time.
  • G 55m - New Rochelle NY jr Lynne Layne 6.94 US#1
  • G 4x200 - Middle College at Medger Evers, Brooklyn, 1:40.97 US#1 (Eleanor Roosevelt MD 1:41.25 US#2).
  • G55H - Eleanor Roosevelt MD sr Bever-Leigh Holloway 8.21US#2
  • B55H - Jermaine Thompson, Transit Tech NY 7.71 US#3
  • B Mile - St. Benedict NJ sr Bryan Scotland, who ran the fastest 800m in the US 2 weeks ago, won a swift race here in 4:14.35 MR, which was US#1 until Dan McManamon topped it at Dartmouth later in the afternoon. Next were Foot Locker finalist Jon Martinez 4:15.64 and Mark Russell 4:17.77.
  • B 2-Mile - Brooklyn International sr Girma Segni 9:35.83. Segni is an Ethiopian native who came to the small (300 students) Brooklyn school 3 years ago. Segni led the entire race until Farrell's Dan Lewis took the lead on the last lap, only to yield to Segni's counterpunch in the home stretch.
  • B 400 - Transit Tech's Clemore Henry 48.60 US#1.
  • G-400 - Queen of Peace NJ sr Janine Davis 54.92, which was US#1 until Nicole Leach PA ran 54.90 at the Montgomery Invitational at PG Sportsplex MD. About the absence of Leach and Devon Williams because of New York association sanctioning restrictions, Davis said, "With or without them, I just came to run my race. But they probably would have pushed me."

Best race of the meet, though, was the girls 4x200. Leach's leadoff put West Catholic out in front, but McCorory's sizzling 23.5 anchor leg brought the sellout crowd to its feet and Bethel VA to victory in 1:41.58. This is the fourth best time in the nation this year, and the other three were all on the super fast banked Mondo at the NY Armory. Atholton MD soph Alison Smith 5:02.88 won the girls invitational mile with Sarah Bowman VA third in 5:12.12. Walter Johnson MD sr Andrew Jesien 4:19.46 won the boys invitational mile.

Sanctioning Crisis

  • one thing is consistent - the inconsistencies.
    NY blocks competition; PA finds a way to allow it.

    From New York to South Carolina, and in many states in between, there is growing evidence that the reasons and reasoning for enforcing sanctioning rules are not only inconsistent from state to state, but flexible - sometimes for the benefit of athletes and other times to their detriment. New York prohibits competition against non-association members; Pennsylvania has found a way to admit the non-members. The issue is affecting entries of elite athletes from private schools at the big indoor meets in New York -- Bishop Loughlin Games, Hispanic Games, New Balance Games, Millrose Games -- as well as outdoor and cross country meets such as the Penn Relays and the Great American.
    Don Rich's Part 3 of a series
  • and now a farce, says Ed Grant
    "And now it has become a farce. How else to describe the latest episodes in the controversy stirred up by the New York high school athletics association's attempt to decide who can and cannot compete in open track and field meets in which their schools are involved."
    Ed Grant story tells more examples of problems with state sanctioning, including the New York-Maryland catch 22 -- New York won't let its athletes perform against schools who aren't a member of their state association, but Maryland private schools are not allowed to join the Maryland association.
  • a race with no winners
    first of a series by Don Rich
    National stars such as Towson MD Catholic's Devon Williams, the US prep indoor athlete of the year last year, and West Catholic PA's Nicole Leach and Latavia Thomas are being barred from running against New York athletes at the New York Armory, the mecca of indoor track in the US. Why? Because of more rigid enforcement of meet sanctioning rules by the New York State Public High School Athletic Association.

PA runner tells how it feels
to run at the New York Armory

"There is no feeling in the world that could compare with the feeling I got standing on the starting line for each race I ran at the Armory. People screaming and cheering, lights flashing, people running out of their minds . . . . the feeling I got was indescribable, but I'll try,"
Mike Carpenter's story as told to Don Rich

Ritz runs great in Italy
Former 2-time Foot Locker cross country champ Dathan Ritzenhein finished a close third in 28:24 in the Silvesterlauf 10km road race Dec 31 at Bolzano Italy. Ritzenhein pressed the pace in the late stages but was outkicked at the very end by Sergiy Lebid 28:23 and Olympic marathon champ Stefano Baldini 28:23. It was the first road race in years without an African on the medal stand. Ritzenhein told the IAAF reporter afterward, "I ran 27:38.50 in Stanford last April but I think that my future is road racing. I would like to tackle the marathon in the years to come. This winter I hope to make the US team at the World Cross Country Championships." IAAF story and photo on the Bolzano 10K
