Iolani Big Aloha Invitational will be
held September 20 at Kualoa Ranch in Hawaii. This is a photo of
one of last year's races. After the races, runners ran across the
road to cool down in the ocean. Thirty mainland high schools are
expected to run in this year's Iolani, twice as many as last year.
Last year's winners were Ruth Graham, Carl Moe, Montgomery CA girls,
and Eisenhower WA boys. The University of Hawaii Big Wave Invitational
for college teams will run in conjunction with the high school meet.

Post-Season
Pix Pages -
with the rush of big meets and great performances, we piled up a
huge backlog of action photos to process from Golden
West, AOC Raleigh,
Golden South., and
USA Nationals. Here are
the latest pix pages uploaded:
- AOC
throws: Maysville KY senior Josh Fryman,
who crashed into the national spotlight with his last-throw win
of the Nike Indoor shotput in March, swept both shot and discus
at the adidas Outdoor Championships.
- AOC
- Ted Ginn: Brightest of the new stars at AOC Raleigh was
Glenville OH jr Theodore Ginn, anchoring a national
record 800 SMR and "upsetting" US#1 and US#2 in the
110m hurdles.
Allyson Felix's
world junior record may not be ratified - When
Allyson Felix won the Mexico City Grand Prix 200m in May in 22.11,
it was reported all over the world as a new world junior record
(under 20). Now, it appears that her brilliant performance may not
count as an IAAF world record because there was no drug testing
at the meet. Doug
Speck reports on DyeStatCal.

"The
most important thing I have to say is this: BUY THIS BOOK. If
you love track and field, do it on principle alone. Not only
will you be in for a very enjoyable ride, but in a very real
sense, you’ll also be contributing to the sport." |
