BALTIMORE MD 8/6/01 -- This update adds 550 performances to the
DyeStat Elite lists for 2001 outdoor season. These come from a database
containing 8,760 performances (only the best mark per athlete is
ranked in each event) drawn from 843 meets across the country. This
is the next to last list for 2001 outdoor -- input will be closed
August 15.
As always, remember that the database only includes performances
that meet our 2001 outdoor cutoffs,
which are intended to yield the top 100 athletes in the US for each
event. Cutoffs for events which are not competed in most meets,
(such as the javelin, 400 meter hurdles, 1500, 3000) are set to
yield fewer than 100 athletes. Cutoffs are adjusted each year based
on the numbers ranked the previous year. Here is a table showing
how many performances are ranked for each event as of the current
lists. It is evident that cutoffs will be tougher again in 2002,
as many events have produced far more than 100 athletes.

Abbreviations: h=handheld (0.24 added up to 200 meters, 0.14 added
for 300 and 400 meters). w=wind. c=converted (1600/3200 times are
converted to Mile/2Mile equivalents by adding 1.6 and 3.4 seconds).
If an athlete's best performance is wind-aided, the best legal mark,
if known, is also ranked. Known handheld times are ranked below
automatic times.
