We are still catching up on the flood of top performances and there are
gaps to be filled, but we have added 700 more performances in the past
week. The lists now top 3,000 out of a 2001 outdoor database of 4,521
performances from 655 meets (generally only the best performance of an
athlete in each event is ranked).
Here are some interesting observations about this week's lists:
- Texas dominates boys 4x100 -- 20 of the top 21 ranked teams
are from the Lone Star state.
- SoCal girls dominate sprint relays -- the metro Los Angeles
powerhouse trio of Wilson Long Beach, Poly Long Beach and North, Riverside
are 1-2-3 in the 4x100 and 1-2-6 in the 4x200, showing their great depth
and constant rejuvenation with young talent.
- Arcadia boys mile was one hot race -- The top 7 at the Arcadia
Invitational are also the top 7 in the US, with Alan Webb, Ryan Hall,
and the Jeffersons featured.
- Jumps are jumping this year -- some indicators:
- Boys high jump -- 14 over 7 feet
- Boys long jump -- 4 over 25 feet
- Boys triple jump -- 7 over 50 feet
- Girls high jump -- 10 at 5-10 or 5-11
- Girls long jump -- 45 over 19 feet
- Girls triple jump -- 17 over 40 feet
- Girls pole vault -- 21 over 12 feet
As always, remember that the database only includes performances that
meet our 2001 outdoor cutoffs. For guidance on how to get ranked, see
