Yes, Kate Hall was/is primarily a long jumper.

This might be a good post for this list of the all-time top American Female sprinters. Abby Steiner 10.90 2022 1.0w Jenna Prandini 10.92 2015 1.4w Mary Beth Sant Price 10.95 2022 1.4w Hannah Cunliffe 10.99 2016 1.7w Mia Brahe-Pedersen 11.00 2023 1.5w Sandra Myers* 11.06 1991 1.7w...

I've put together a list of all time American women. I'm pretty sure about the top 5 - and that's an impressive list! But not nearly as sure about places 6 through 10. If there's someone you think I've missed let me know. Thanks. Abby Steiner 10.90 2022 1.0w Jenna Prandini 10.92 2015 1.4w...

Here's the race:

Never heard of Reece Holder before. And surprisingly, he is black (or biracial).

The kid is really built!

Henrik Larsson ran 10.13 (0.9w) in the semi-finals at the Swedish Championships. He followed that up with a 10.20 in the final to become Swedish Champion.

His PB is just 10.30 from last year. He seems more than ready to better that time significantly.

From a meet today in Austria: David Morgan Harrison took 1st place in 10.10 (2.9w) Marcus Fuchs 2nd in 10.14 Ippei Takeda 3rd in 10.16 Elliot Jones 4th in 10.20 David Morgan Harrison was the British Universities Champion in the 60m, 100m, and 200m this year. However he DQ'd at the UK...

Mia Brahe-Pedersen continued her incredible season by winning the 100m, 200m, and 4x100m relay at the NACAC (North American, Central American and Caribbean Athletic Association) U23 Championships. She won the 100m in 11.08. (wind legal) The 200m in 23.05. (wind legal) And anchored the 4x100m...

Interesting that Tortu was moved from the anchor to the 2nd position, and Ceccarelli is now running the anchor leg.

Well, I think I know why we haven't heard from Renan Correa since his 10.01 victory at the South American U20 Championships . . . At those same Championships, after the 100m, he competed in the 200m. I see that he finished last in his heat, in a time of 88.37. Obviously he got injured and...

This young man is a real find. I've been waiting to see more from him since his 10.01 in May. But as far as I can tell, he hasn't raced since then. Also, I hesitate to put his time above Lemaitre's, because he achieved that result in Bogota, Columbia, which is at significant altitude - 2640...

Either way, this is a very poor result for Ceccarelli as far as I'm concerned. The time is terrible. And regardless that the others didn't run good times either (10.26, 10.26, and 10.32), none of them have a season's best time under 10.10. So they are not sub-10 sprinters beating Ceccarelli...

****! Samuele Ceccarelli came 4th in the race, with a very disappointing time of 10.38. What the hell happened with him?!

Here's a budding star that we haven't mentioned . . . Neil Laros of The Netherlands. Today in Monaco, he won the B race of the 800m in 1:44.78. He has also run 3:32.89 for the 1500m and 13:23.01 for the 5000m. Incredible range! And, oh, btw, he just turned 18 yrs old in April. Wow!

Joshua Hartmann is not who you think he is.

Apparently Boling is a pretty smart kid. https://www.wgauradio.com/news/local/uga-track-star-earns-prestigious-ncaa-scholarship/5SRFMRFBHJEAPDAGFKIAMMAKPM/

And another young Japanese sprinter, 20 year old Towa Uzawa, won the Men's 200m, in a very good time of 20.23.

Norway continued their astounding medal haul in the Euro Under 23 Championships. Andrea Rooth won the women's 400m hurdles. Kitty Friele Faye took 3rd in the women's Pole Vault. Pal Haugen Lillefosse also took 3rd in the men's Pole Vault Markus Rooth (rather small for a decathlete) took Gold in...

Hiroki Yanagita of Japan wins the 100m at the Asian Championships, in a very fine time of 10.02 (1.0w). He turns 20 yrs old at the end of this month. Japan seems to always have a crop of good 100m sprinters.

Yes, Norway with these talented youngsters and also Ingebrigtsen and Warholm, are showing all of Europe that you don't need to import athletes to be successful . . . very successful!

Norway continues to blow my mind on the track! At the Euro Under 23 Championships today: Havard Bentdal Ingvaldsen took Gold in the men's 400. Henrietta Jaeger barely missed Gold (by 2/100ths) in the women's 400m, grabbing the silver. Henrik Flatnes took Gold in the Long Jump. This is a country...

I don't know if she - Della Jones Pascoe - is a forgotten athlete, since I never heard of her . . . but it seems she was a very, very good sprinter in her day. Also she was married to a great 400m hurdler, Alan Pascoe...
