    O. J. Simpson Dead at 76

    Hmm.... that's not the way I remember it. Perhaps it was in another game. Or perhaps it was at halftime where they added to his total. Will have to do some research.

    Rohan Browning 10.01

    An interesting article about Browning's quest to go sub-10 in the 100m. https://www.smh.com.au/sport/athletics/the-agonising-quest-of-australia-s-fastest-man-to-run-02-seconds-quicker-20240410-p5fio9.html

    O. J. Simpson Dead at 76

    One thing that I will always remember about OJ's 2,000 yard season .... at the end of the game he was several yards short of the 2,000 mark. However, the league immediately went back and reviewed tape of the game and decided that the yardage given to him during the game had been short. So they...

    2024 Indoor Season

    17 year old Aillxier Wumaier of China, set a National Record in the 400m with a time of 45.79. Fantastic time for a 17 year old. He looks like he may be part white. Here's his race:

    2023-'24 NBA Season

    I'm surprised that Jokic hasn't done it - 1000/1000/600.

    2023-'24 NBA Season

    Another thing that occurred to me recently . . . . . . all the top NBA MVP candidates (black or white) are non-Americans: Nikola Jokic (Serbia) Luka Doncic (Slovenia) Shai Gilgeous Alexander (Canada) Giannis (Greece) and before injury, Joel Embid (Cameroon)

    2023-'24 NBA Season

    This just occurred to me... The best player in the NBA right now is Nikola Jokic. The best player in the men's NCAA right now is Zack Edey The best player in the women's NCAA right now is Caitlin Clark. The best player in high school right now is Cooper Flagg. Wow! It's a special time.

    In fact her (Leduc) 11.08 is the world leading time in the women's 100m.

    Forgotten White Athletes?

    I remember when Doug Walker won this race, although I had never seen it. Great win considering he was in Lane 1.

    High Schoolers

    Since the Texas Relays were this weekend, it made me wonder what happened to this super speedy, 2 time state champion. Well, she graduated last year and is attending Tarleton State University (never heard of it), and is playing soccer, but not running track! And so it goes with some of our...

    Apparently he's a football player, and is committed to Baylor.

    High Schoolers

    Mason Dossett of Texas ran 13.27 in 110m hurdles at the Texas Relays. That's equal No.5 all-time in high school. You can see his race here at the 35 second mark.

    2024 Outdoor season

    Audrey Leduc of Canada, just lowered her PB to 11.08 in Florida. Great time, and another women's sprinter to keep an eye on.

    Mia Brahe-Pedersen 11.00 wind legal (Only a Junior in High School in Oregon)

    Here's a recent article on Mia Brahe-Pedersen. She's about 90% recovered from her hamstring injury and says her goals for this season are pretty simple: “Break as many records as possible and make as much history as possible.”...

    Can you explain what 'age graded' means, and how that works/calculated?

    Rohan Browning 10.01

    10.29 from Browning with no wind in Sydney. Not bad, but not good either.

    2024 Outdoor season

    I guess you are referring to a different track meet, because in the only S. African results that I saw, Simon Hansen of Denmark won both the 100m and 200m races, 10.31 and 20.65. Emile Erasmus wasn't listed at all.

    2024 Indoor Season

    I think Boling will continue to focus on the 400m this year, in hopes of making the relay for the Paris Olympics. I don't think you can blame for taking this route. Getting an Olympic medal is a once in a lifetime opportunity. After this Olympic year, I expect him to drop down to the 200m going...
