Injuries hit California stars Leal and Trotter - The San Francisco Chronicle reports that Arroyo CA jr Yong-Sung Leal, recently on the USA junior national team at the World Cross Country championships in Ireland, is out for the season with a strained tendon in his left hip. The Chronicle also said that Ukiah sr Amber Trotter, Foot Locker cross country national champion in December, has missed most of track season with a gluteal muscle pull and her status for the rest of the season is questionable. The Santa Rosa Press-Democrat said the injury has caused Trotter to postpone a try at the national HS record for 3200 meters (9:48.59 in 1996 by Kim Mortensen, the only US prep ever to break 10 minutes). Trotter ran 10:20.5 in the Ukiah Leprechaun meet in March.

Noteworthy Notes

Erika Odlaug, the Deerfield IL star who has been nursing tendinitis in her foot since the World Cross Country championships in Ireland in March, got her outdoor campaign going in wind and rain at the Lake County Championship with an 800-1600 double in 2:21.4 and 5:06.7.
Michelle Carter 51-10.75 shot put in Texas regional, making her 8th best on the US all-time list. The Red Oak junior also won the discus at 155-11.

Auburn will run the 4x800 at the adidas Outdoor Championships in Raleigh in June but will miss the DMR because it is Saturday night and the boys need to get back to Seattle for high school graduation on Sunday.
Kevin Bookout 70-1 and 203-2 double in Pawnee OK 2A regional 4/27. Stroud OK sr was the only shot putter over 70 feet last year and he is the first this year.

Tubbs out for season
Enumclaw WA sr Alison Tubbs, who was so brilliant last year (10:11.95 3200m winning the Washington state meet and 16:54.9 5k winning the Great American Cross Country Festival), is finished for 2002 because of slow recovery from a stress fracture of her right foot. "She's going to take the season off," father-coach Tim Tubbs, who is also the athletic director at Enumclaw, told the Seattle Times. "She just needs to get her health back and recover and not press her luck." Tubbs is signed to run for the University of Washington next year.

Foot Locker 2002 dates

Harrier editor Marc Bloom offers the following clarification of next fall's Foot Locker Cross Country dates, which were in error in his April issue: The Northeast, Midwest and South Regionals are November 30, the West Regional is December 7, the National
Finals in Orlando are December 14.

Gourley's List - weight and hammer throw
2002 Indoor Weight Throw - final list - Michael Freeeman RI 74'11.75" edges Adam Hamilton NH by 3/4 inch in 25 pound list. Nick Owens WA 55'10.50" leads 35-pound throws. Kristen Michalski RI 60'08.75" leads girls list.

Great American 2002 ROC invitations
Meet director Rick Hill has invited 45 teams to run in the Race of Champions at the 4th Great American Cross Country Festival, to be held at Ballantyne Resort near Charlotte NC September 27-28. Hill says ROC will have the deepest fields in Great Am's 4 years, and the girls race will be the deepest ever in the US. Hill projects 4000+ runners from 200+ schools, 40 states, and 450+ teams.

Eligibility Woes - state associations strike hard
Moving from Grandma to Mom - In Washington, sprint star Craig Everhart moved from his grandmother's house, where he was a triple state champion last year for Davis Yakima, to live with his mother and step-dad in the Lincoln Tacoma district. After doubling 200-400 for Lincoln last Saturday in the Pasco Inv, the WIAA said he was ineligible because it was not a bona fide change of residence by an "entire family unit."
Too many "outside" events - In Alabama, distance star Tyler Stanfield was ruled ineligible by AHSAA after he ran in three "outside" events -- NSI New York, Auburn, and a 5k road race at Gadsden AL -- apparently a rules violation in Alabama. The 5-time state champion in Texas and Alabama and national Foot Locker finalist will start training for college at Samford U., where his dad, Ray, is the head coach.
On the other hand - Pennsylvania reinstated Angie Saterstad on appeal after deciding that her move to Hershey conformed to the rules. And California allows one transfer no questions asked during an athlete's HS career. (This results in some unusual commutes in SoCal, such as 80 miles one way to powerhouses like Poly and Wilson in Long Beach.)
