Donovan Kilmartin
misses record attempt

Eagle ID sr Donovan Kilmartin's planned attempt for a new decathlon record was aborted due to illness (stomach flu) Wednesday. Kilmartin had been entered in the Mt. SAC Relays multi-events Wednesday and Thursday at Azusa Pacific College..The versatile athlete already owns the US junior record of 7440 points. He would have tried for the record with international implements (7359 Craig Brigham, South Eugene OR 1972), one of the oldest records in Jack Shepard's HIGH SCHOOL TRACK annual. Kilmartin may stay in California to compete in the open high jump and/or pole vault at Mt. SAC. His only other shot at the decathlon record could be the USA Jr Nationals in June.

In Memory Of David "Kim" Kimani
April 16, 2003

by Ricky Quintana

It is with great sadness that I read of David Kimani's death today. I watched him run over the past few years and last year, I had the opportunity to watch him in person as he decimated a great field to win the NCAA 5k Outdoor Championships in Baton Rouge.

It was a win that I had predicted to my friend, Bruce Kritzler, and I celebrated as he finished with a 58 second last 400m slowing in the last 15 meters to a mere jog. It was truly an awesome performance. Through my friendship with his coach Joe Walker, Jr., I was granted an interview prior to the SEC XC Championships with David. He was cordial and kind. He was forthcoming and honest. His demeanor overshadowed the intense competitor I watched compete that June evening.

At the SEC XC Champs, he again showed what he was capable of when he was on. Walker had said that he was in awesome shape. He pulled away from eventual NCAA runner-up, Alistair Cragg as though he were standing still. He did it with so much ease. One could see he was on top of his game and knew it. Something that was just pure beauty to watch. Afterwards, he was gracious and wore his typical wide grin. It is a memory that will live with me forever; the ferocious competitor and the gracious winner. A few weeks later, I watched as David finished out of the running at the NCAA XC Championships. Coach Walker was in disbelief. I later learned from Joe that David had suffered a stress fracture and had run on it. The last time I saw David run was at the Gator Invitational. Joe had said that David was coming back from his injury and was debating whether he would run him or wait until the following week at Iowa State. As I sat in the announcer's perch high above in the O'Connell Center in Gainesville, I could see David with his teammates. He was not entered in any individual events, only the DMR. He took the baton and with great anticipation, I announced his name over the PA. All the achievements I could remember came bellowing out. Using his shuffling effortless style he began to rattle out 30 second 200's. It was something to behold. He kept going, but one could see that he was not the same. He began to slow. Unable to maintain and far ahead of his nearest competitor, David came home with a victory, but his time was a sub standard 4:11 for him. He tried once more at Iowa State the following week, but he again finished in an unDavid like time. It was sad because that ended his season indoors and his college career. The anticipated rematch with Alistair Cragg and Daniel Lincoln at the SEC's was gone as was the another NCAA Championship run. Life is very simple to me. I enjoy watching people compete and enjoy this sport which has brought so much excitement to me. David's performances made my life just a little bit better and I thank him for that. Words can not express how much I will miss seeing this great runner compete. I am in disbelief that he is gone forever. My condolences go out to his family, wife and all that knew him. My deepest sympathies go out to Joe Walker, who I'm sure is reeling from the news. Walker brought "Kim" to the United States when he was at the University of South Alabama. They shared a strong bond that was apparent to anyone who saw them together. "Kim" trusted Joe and spoke very highly of him. When Joe spoke of "Kim," a wide grin would appear on his face. "Kim" died with a wonderful string of achievements and admirers everywhere. He lived life to his fullest and I can only wish that he died painlessly and is in a better place now.......................................... He has to
be. -ricky

Donovan Kilmartin maxes out PV standards

He will have to wait until the Arcadia Invitational this weekend to go higher. He is doing only the pole vault at Arcadia and then will stay in SoCal to compete in the collegiate decathlon at Mt.
