California girls, New Jersey boys best at AOC
California girls beat New York 124-101 and New Jersey boys beat Texas 129-93 in DyeStat's unofficial team scoring by states at the adidas Outdoor Championships in Raleigh last month. It was the second straight year for the California girls and New Jersey boys to come out on top in state scoring in the national meet.


A new major indoor meet will be held February 9, 2002 in Lincoln, Nebraska, with Chris Lester as meet director. Lester is a coach and a key recruiter for the National Scholastic Sports Foundation, which stages the Nike Indoor Classic and the adidas Outdoor Championships (Raleigh). The meet will be held at the new state of the art Devaney Sports Complex at the University of Nebraska, and DyeStat will be there with on-site coverage. Details are on the adidas Midwest Indoor Track Classic web page. (Hey, college basketball starts instant "classics" all the time, why not track?)

Nate Brannen goes sub-4 too
Alan Webb won't be the only sub-4 high school miler when he matriculates at the University of Michigan in September. Michigan-recruit Nate Brannen of Canada ran 3:59.85 at the 8th Aileen Meagher International Track Classic in Halifax, Nova Scotia Sunday 7/8. Brannen became the third Canadian high schooler to break the 4-minute mile barrier, and it was the first sub-4 ever in Nova Scotia. Brannen told reporters afterward that he knew he was in shape for sub-4 when he ran his 1:46.6 800 in the Canadian national championships 2 weeks ago. "I saw 2:57 with a lap to go. I knew then if I wanted it I better go for it." Then, as he rounded the last turn, "I just wanted the race to be over." There was a rabbit for two laps and Brannen's training partner Matt Kerr pushed him through three laps before finishing second in 4:06.55.

Webb finishes 141st in the Boilermaker 15k road race at Utica NY Sunday 7/8. HS mile record holder Alan Webb appeared with Bill Rodgers and other distance greats in Utica at ceremonies for the National Distance Running Hall of Fame and took a 15k jog while he was there. Here is his results line:

Name Place Time Home
Alan Webb 141 54:19 Reston
