Austin Reeves will be out 4 weeks with a calf injury. Meanwhile, Kon Knueppel suffered an ankle injury Friday night, and left the game. Waiting for an update on his status.

George Kittle and Ricky Pearsall are both questionable for Sunday's game against the Bears. It's amazing that the Niners have done as well as they have, considering their never ending injuries this season.

I've come across a couple of South African youngsters worth mentioning here. Jaydon Fairlie is 15 years old and has PBs of 10.59, 20.80, and 46.81. I believe, his 200m and 400m times are SA U16 records. Jaydon Fourie is 16 years old and has PBs of 10.73, 21.40, and most impressive, a LJ best of...

Rivers' throwing motion is awkward. It looks part throw, part shot put. Has he always thrown like that?? Many of his throws are a bit short.

McCaffrey has 85 yds rushing and 17 receiving, so he's over 100 yds from scrimmage for the game at the moment.

Great race! Thank you for sharing. The German men used to be very, very good in many track events. Unfortunately, they have fallen off a cliff over the past 20 or so years.

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!
