New York Armory 1978 |
|
The current generation of runners at the New York Armory can hardly appreciate the miracle that has been wrought in transforming the old building to a state of the art facility that lays claim to be the fastest indoor track in the world. This is a photo of Michael Potter in 1978 when he was a sophomore at White Plains NY high school running his first race at the Armory. "Man that was one rough track. You did not want to fall on that floor. Splinters galore," Potter says. "This was the first time I wore my brand new pair of the original Oregon Waffles by the new company called Nike." Potter, who is now a Wall Street broker, later won the Loucks Games mile. The photo was taken by his coach Fred Singleton, now the director of the Loucks Games at White Plains High School every May. |
Stat of the Week - a new feature by John Sullivan
Sully is a track nut who can't get enough track stats. He cranks out lists for his own amusement -- and now he can amuse you as well. In Sully's first installment, he scores the NCAA Indoor championships by HS state of the athletes. Texas wins in both men and women. That has nothing to do with the fact Sully is from Texas, but it could explain his motivation for producing this stat.

Sunday - Galen Rupp 20th in Junior Men - Dathan Ritzenhein fades in men's long race - Lauren Fleshman's 11th is highest US finish of the meet
- Men's Long Race - Best Americans were 2003 Foot Locker champion Matt Withrow 38:41 60th, Ian Dobson 38:45 61st, and Dathan Ritzenhein 38:46 62nd. A day that began with such optimism for Ritzenhein (see below) quickly turned to defeat, far behind the African runners he was trying to contend with. After one lap at the horse track course, the former 2-time Foot Locker Cross Country champion was 22nd in a big pack only 1 second behind the leader. The next four laps went like this: 26th, 0:13 behind - 35th, 0:47 - 42nd, 1:30 - 55th, 2:32. Olympic 10k gold medalist Kenenisa Bekele took the lead from Eliud Kipchoge on lap 5 and went on to win for a double (he won the short race Saturday).
- Junior Men - Galen Rupp is 20th, first US finisher, as Kenya and Ethiopia continue to dominate.
- Women's Short Race - Lauren Fleshman 13:44 11th is highest US finish of the meet, followed by Shalane Flanagan 14:05 20th and Shayne Culpepper 14:06 21st.
USATF Release: Ritz feels the best he ever has.
Sports Illustrated article: Ritz' fortune cookie said, "THE TIME IS RIGHT FOR YOU TO REACH YOUR GOALS." SI headline: "Ready to take on the world -- finally living up to his vast potential, tough-as-nails Dathan Ritzenhein could be the first American in 23 years to win a medal at the world cross country meet." Alberto Salazar won silver in 1982. |
Saturday - Kenya and Ethiopia dominate
- Junior Women - Best American is Lindsay Scherf, 18th in 22:12
- Men's Short - Best American is Jorge Torres, 13th in 11:58.
