I have an idea on how to increase the indoor Track and Field attendance, as well as TV coverage… chase after obscure World Records. That is, chase after WRs set in Yards from over 25 years ago. A recent case of this type of marketing was the special 500 yards WR setup for Jearl Miles-Clark, who ran ...

Can you imagine having a 17 year old male sprinter on your team who runs 11.45 for 100 meters, then the following year as a Junior he runs 10.50. 10.30 is the IAAF “A” standard so you dare to write him off as “Nah, he’ll never be a world class sprinter” kind of attitude. Would you write him off? Ima ...

When Dwain Chambers won the Indoor Euro Championships 60 meters in 6.42 seconds (March 2009), he predicted that time extrapolated to a 9.70. I felt based on previous world records, a conversion of 1.53 or 1.54 would give Dwain approximately 9.82 - 9.89 seconds for a 100 meters. (He ran a 10.00 seaso ...

Ever since Jim Hines ran the first electronic (FAT) sub 10 second 100 meters in 1968, 1983 was the start of the sub 10 explosion (POP QUIZ – who was the lone sub-10 performance in 1977 ?) 10 seconds for the 100 meters is the holy grail of sprints, just like the 4 minute mile. 4 laps in one minute. 1 ...

And you thought Carmelita Jeter’s 10.67 in Greece last week was simply a fluke… Even Jamaica’s Veronica Campbell-Brown runs a season best 10.89. The wind was a legal +1.2.
