XC
Leader List update 10/18
The lists grew to 1,287 performances from 318 meets this week (ending
October 18), with fewer additions because the biggest meet, the Manhattan Invitational,
runs only 2.5 miles, too short to be listed. Biggest move this week was by Bobby
Lockhart, with his second straight hot 5k, a 15:03 course record at Manassas
VA, giving him two of the top 6 times of the season. XC

girls upset Bingham in Utah Confirming
their steady rise in the strong Utah ranks, last year's 4A state champs moved
up to 5A and toppled Bingham in the Utah State Meet Wednesday (10/17). After Bingham's
Zeigle twins claimed 1-2 (Laura 17:48 3m, Jackie 18:12) Fremont
3-6-9-14-17 shaded Bingham on runners 3 through 5 to win, 49-54. Mountain View,
which dropped to 4A, won in overall scoring with 88 points over Orem 110, Fremont
114, and Bingham 131. Davis boys won the 5A race and also
edged Mountain View 142-149 in overall scoring. Alta sr Kyle Perry
15:43 won 5A boys, but fastest boy of the day was Hurricane jr Tony Jones,
who won 3A in 15:24. Orem jr Amber Harper was a second girl under 18 minutes,

Armory gets USA National Indoors USATF
announced today (10/16) that the USA Indoor Championships will return to New York
in 2002 at the New York Armory March 1 and 2. This marks a return to New York,
where the meet was held from 1906 to 1993, after 8 years in Atlanta. The Armory
is making many enhancements to the building, including expansion of seating to
5,000, in preparation for the meet. Oregon's
Art Skipper killed Art Skipper,
of Sandy OR, was killed Tuesday (10/16) when the small plane he was riding in
crashed in Clackamas County OR. Skipper, the HS record holder in javelin throw
(259-10 in 1988), was the older brother of Tommy Skipper, a leading pole vaulter
and decathlete as a sophomore last year at Sandy high school, east of Portland. Indoor
seasons threatened Indoor
track seasons in 2002 are severely jeopardized by lack of facilities in at least
three states -- Alabama, Maryland, and North Carolina. In Alabama, the
state says it lacks funds to make needed repairs to Celebration Arena in Priceville.
A public campaign to SAVE INDOOR is being headed by Grissom AL coach Randy Bunn,
as reported on James Guthrie's web site, Alabama
Runner. In Maryland, the ancient National Guard Armory in Baltimore
will not be available because of installation of a new floor and more military
use of the facility in the post-terrorist era, sending seven regionals and dozens
of in-season meets in search of a home. The new Prince George's County facility,
home of the State Meet and the Nike Indoor Classic, is too expensive for schools
to use with the frequency that the Armory was used. In North Carolina,
high schools have shared the Greensboro Coliseum with the ACC championships to
save setup costs in the past. This year, the ACC is moving to the new facility
at UNC in Chapel Hill, but this facility has limited seating and thus limited
gate receipts. "At this point, indoor track seems dead unless we get a corporate
sponsor ($10,000)," NCHSAA executive director Rich Strunk told the Raleigh
News & Observor. Marion Jones
will visit the school in Oregon or Washington
that has the most most student spectators at BorderClash III at Nike World Headquarters,
Beaverton OR, November 11. Contest Details What
next for the Great American? As the Great American Cross Country
Festival ended, Rick Hill looked tired. It could be post-partum depression or
it could be more serious. Creative meet director talks
about the future of the meet after 3 years.
