Update on Ricky Pearsall who was injured again on Sunday. The injury was "re-aggravating his PCL injury while also dealing with an ankle sprain." The Niners are not sure of his status yet for next week. Unfortunately Pearsall seems to be a bit fragile.

Ricky Pearsall injured . . . AGAIN!

Puripol Boonson followed up his outstanding 100m win, with a great win in the 200m. His time was 20.07 with only a very slight wind of 0.2. Maybe he will be ready for the biggest stages in the sport this coming year.

The indoor track season is just getting started, so results are sparse. However, sophomore Mia Shepard at UC Santa Barbara, looks like she might have a break through year. She just set school records in the indoor 200m and 400m - 24.09 and 52.93...

Do you guys remember Puripol Boonson from Thailand. Ran a real fast time as a teenager, but hadn't lived up to his potential? Well he just ran a 9.94 (0.7w) Asian U20 Record in the heats (equal #5 world U20 all-time) of the Southeast Asian Games. He followed that up with a 10.00 (-0.5) to win...

Josh Hoey shattered the 600m indoor World Record (or World Best), clocking a time of 1:12.84. The previous record was 1:13.77. BYU freshman Julie Hedengren ran 14:44.79 for the 5000m, breaking the NCAA record by nearly 8 seconds! A very remarkable performance. In New Zealand (outdoors), 16...

Looking at the end of the year lists, I noticed that it was a very fine year for Japanese sprinting. In Asia, the top 4 times in the men's 100 meters were produced by Japanese sprinters: Yoshide Kiryu 9.99 Sorato Shimizu 10.00 Yuhi Mori 10.00 Hiroko Yanigita 10.00 That's quite a relay team...

And here's the video:

Out of nowhere . . . Jody Smith, 25, of Great Britain, runs 6.52 and 6.58 60 meters indoors. His previous best was 6.74!

Charlie Becker of Indiana is having a great game against Ohio State. With 2 minutes to go, he has 6 catches for 126 yards . . . that's 21yd/catch.

I thought the track season was over, but there have been some meets in Australia and Japan happening recently. Also the Chinese National Games just finished, and there was a very impressive result in women's 100m. 16 yr old Chen Yujie ran a blazing 11.10s (+0.7) to win the women’s 100m. (She...

Watch some Mark Price videos. He was exceptional.

Reminds me of Mark Price.

The 1960s Chargers had Keith Lincoln, who was great, and then Dickie Post. They also had 2 incredible receivers in Lance Alworth, and the very underrated Gary Garrison.

Myles McLaughlin might break Derrick Henry's all-time high school rushing record
