Super Spread Sheets on Race - Boys - Girls
Follow a team or individual's progress through the race at approximate 1000m points!
Lynx system innovation allowed those at the race to follow the contest on huge jumbotron screens
and coaches were given hand-held palm pilots that allowed them to follow their individual runners!
This innovation added a ton to enjoyment of all at the meet with seeming close races "translated"
for you before your eyes by the Palms or Jumbotron!! 
AMAZING!!
