County WY rebounds from tragedy
Campbell County's team was devastated
in September when former Camel Morgan McLeland was killed in a highway crash along
with 7 other University of Wyoming athletes. Senior Tony Bachmann was especially
hard hit because he was close to McLeland when he won the 1998 Wyoming state championship.
After being 8th in the country in The Harrier's preseason rankings, the boys team
fell out of the lists. But they came all the way back in the Wyoming State Meet,
and Bachmann led the way in 16:18.3, breaking the state record held by McLeland.
The girls team completed a sweep of Class 4A by Campbell County. Story

Tubbs has a back injury
Enumclaw
WA sr Alison Tubbs, Great American Festival winner last month and a leading
contender for the Foot Locker national championship, overcame a back injury and
confusion on the course to win the 4A West Central / Southwest Bi-District 10/24
in 17:45 5k on a wet course, 10 seconds ahead of Olympia sr Jessie McLaughlin.
The heavily favored Tubbs had not run for 6 days
since her league championship because of a back injury. In addition, she made
a wrong turn and had to backtrack 30 yards during the race. Tubbs said her back
injury is not a big deal, but she told the South County Journal she has only been
running in the pool, and is "taking shots and stuff like that." Even
though off this year's standard, Tubbs was more than a minute faster than in this
meet a year ago.
In the boys race, Auburn sr Chris Lukezic won by 26 seconds in 15:11 5k. 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.

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 and

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
