Golden Spike
Tour lands in Nebraska
LINCOLN NE 12/22/01 -- In its first year, the
Midwest Indoor Track Classic
has landed the USATF Golden Spike tour. In addition to a full
slate of high school events, MITC will have nine elite events
including a men's 60 meter hurdles field worthy of an Olympic
final. The Golden Spike portion of the meet will be on national
television on ESPN at 4 pm Eastern, Sunday February 10. Meet
director Chris Lester said two high school events may be included
in the telecast. Details

We've been
trying to ignore it, hoping for a brief intermission between
seasons, but the 2002 indoor season has arrived. Just one
week after Foot Locker
Cross Country finals at Disney World, we start our Amtrak
season by going up to New York for the Bishop Loughlin
Games at the revived New York Armory, 168th and
Broadway, the leading venue in the country for indoor track.
In addition to 85 high school meets, the Armory will host
the biggest college meet of the season February 8-9 and the
USA Nationals March 1-2 (returning to the Big Apple after
8 years at the Georgia Dome). All this on top of non-stop
renovations to remake the old building into the US Track and
Field Hall of Fame (moving from Indianapolis).

- BOYS RACE: A
Battle for the Ages: Moore Nips Lockhart
Tim Moore MI 14:50.4 - Exactly as expected, 10-12
boys had a shot at the title through 2 tightly contested miles
in 9:32. Moore and Bobby Lockhart moved into the stretch as a
team with first one, then the other getting the call, and Moore
getting the last call by 1.1 second, closest Foot Locker finish
ever. Another 1.4 second back was fast finishing Chris Solinsky
WI. Then came three more runners under 15:00 -- Nurani Sheikh
UT 14:56.5, Tim Ross MI 14:57.9, and Milos Mitric NC 14:59.2.
The Midwest team edged the West 38-42 with South 52 and Northeast

- GIRLS RACE: Queen
Amber Reigns Supreme
Amber Trotter CA 16:24 - Any hopes Amber Trotter
would get a challenge were dashed quickly as the Ukiah CA senior
made this just like every other race in her storybook year. Out
on top in the first strides, first mile in 5:04 with a 20 second
lead that lengthened to 30 seconds after 2 miles and an incredible
40 seconds at the finish. She took 31 seconds off the OakTrails
course record set by Sara Bei last year, 15 seconds off Melody
Fairchild's meet record (1990 in San Diego), and the second largest
margin in meet history. The Fox TV lead cart let her go in the
first mile and moved back to the chase pack so that someone other
than Trotter would appear in the race film. The stretch battle
was for second, as Erika Odlaug IL just caught Natasha Roetter
MA after a long hard drive, 17:04.3 to 17:05.1. The West girls
won again in a rout with 33 points, Northeast 61, Midwest 71,
and South 73. Complete

- Hawaii Connection - Amber Trotter's victory
continues an interesting string: she is the third straight Foot
Locker girls champion to have won the 3-year-old Iolani Invitational
during the season. In 1999, Hawaii native Victoria Chang won the
inaugural Iolani meet and then came to the mainland to win the
Foot Locker national finals. Last year, Sara Bei of California
took the trip to Hawaii, won the Iolani Inv and went on to an
"upset" victory in Orlando. This year, Trotter ventured
to the Iolani meet September 22 at Kualoa Ranch (site of filming
of Jurassic Park) and signalled she was ready for Foot Locker
glory by beating Bei's 2000 time by 22 seconds. The Aloha charm
worked again. Is anyone thinking Hawaii for next September?

This is the 7th "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.
