NIKE ATHLETES OF THE WEEK #5: Billy Nelson - Megan Kaltenbach

Mt. SAC Invitational
DyeStat on-site coverage for biggest meet of the season
WALNUT CA 10/19/01 -- Lightly raced Yong-Sung Leal will make his second major appearance of the season tomorrow in the Division 1-2 Individual Sweepstakes.

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.

Fremont 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, winning 4A in 17:58. Details

It will be starry in Orlando for the Foot Locker national finals in December. Nike, the new presenting sponsor of the meet, is bringing a sensational lineup of elite athletes to meet the 64 prep runners who qualify out of the four Foot Locker regionals. They are eight elite runners and two superstars: Suzy Favor-Hamilton, Regina Jacobs, Kara (Wheeler) Goucher, Sarah Schwald, Bob Kennedy, Pascal Dobert, Abdi Abdirahman, Meb Keflezighi, Michael Johnson, and Stacy Dragila.

NY 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.

StretchRite added to shopDyeStat
BALTIMORE 10/10/01 -- DyeStat today announced that StretchRite has been added to the DyeStat online store, shopDyeStat. StretchRite is a patented stretch training device that is used by Olympic gold medalists and more than 500 schools. More Information - Order StretchRite
This is the second "Performance Stretch of the Week" provided by StretchRite, Inc. The series is designed by exercise physiologist Scott Powers, inventor of the StretchRite stretch trainer. "The focus of stretching now is to run faster and jump higher, not just prevent injuries. We see so many athletes neglect their flexibility program which translates into tight muscles. A tight muscle will have a limited range of motion and definitely slows the runner," Powers says.

A proven physical therapy aid for 10 years, StretchRite is now available for track and field and cross country. More than 500 schools and several Olympic gold medalists use StretchRite. The StretchRite program emphasizes stretching the speed muscles such as the quads, hip flexors, hamstrings, and glutes. "What's really great is you don't need a partner because the stretch trainer allows you to get into the right body position to isolate the muscle," Powers says.

StretchRite is made of heavy duty nylon webbing and ABS plastic. Powers says coaches like StretchRite because it is affordable ($24.95), it makes stretching more fun, leading to fewer injuries and better performance, and it is available in custom colors to match any school colors.
