She's been a great athlete since high school! I love her passion for the sport. I've also noticed that she's given the long jump a go this season. 6.61 isn't too bad!<br /><br />You're point on collegiate meet attendance is strong. I had never thought about the focus on times rather than position. Being a track enthusiast, I look for a time. I remember too having to explain the significance of those times with my wife. <br /><br />Another thing that should be on professional meet director's radar is bringing the races to the people. There's no reason we can't have a head to head 100m race on a street in Times Square. Penn Relays would be a great test for this. Maybe move the Championship of America 100s to a street nearby. Build a straightaway and let's go! <br /><br />http://kwsompimpong.wordpress.com/Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08347737764968627491noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29551596.post-90239738319754940442010-05-31T11:45:39.249-04:002010-05-31T11:45:39.249-04:00I think Des Moines does have a fighting chance ove...I think Des Moines <i>does</i> have a fighting chance over Eugene, if only because I think Eugene may find it has Trials Fatigue after two go-arounds. If 2012 isn't as good as 2008 - and 2008 is a very, very hard act to follow, among the best meets I've ever attended. I have to wonder if by 2016 Eugene might be ready to take an Olympiad off.pjmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09681209670821753600noreply@blogger.com
