Cam Skattebo sat our practice today. Bad news. "The rookie sat out of another practice on Thursday due to an injury that he has been dealing with recently. It looks like he may continue to miss more time because of it, and the longer he's out, the more likely it is that Tyrone Tracy Jr. will...

Bachman of the Raiders with some sort of non-contact leg injury. Throws his helmet down in frustration.

Hubert Troscianka is a Polish decathlete competing in the European U20 Championships. He ran the 400m in 46.21 to shatter not just the European U20 400m decathlon best, and also the world U20 decathlon best which was previously held by Australia’s Ashley Moloney. Troscianka’s time was also...

A nice article about Jonathan Edwards and his triple jump record (I enjoyed the above about Kathy Smallwood Cook. She was one of my favorites, who was overshadowed by the East Europeans.) https://www.bbc.com/sport/athletics/articles/c9qyw3842xgo

Here's a long interview with the incredible high school runner, Cooper Lutkenhaus.

He wouldn't be able to run his PB in the final after running the heats and semi-final. But who knows, maybe this injury break will do him good.

A very interesting and informative profile of Lachlan Kennedy

Yes! His time is faster than any collegian. So now the 800m high school record is faster than the 800m collegiate record, which is amazing! He is now the 4th fastest American ever. This is really mind blowing!!

Yoshihide Kiryu ran 9.99 (1.5w) and Yuhi Mori ran 10.00 (1.3w) in their heats at a meet in Japan. The final was cancelled due to weather. Meanwhile in the 200m, Shota Iizuka won in 20.45 (1.2w). He is 34 years old, and has broken 20.5 in every one of the last 14 years. Pretty amazing!

Cooper Lutkenhaus just ran 1:42.27 at the US Championships to take 2nd, and make the World Championships!! The kid is 16 years old, and just finished his sophomore year in high school! His time is a World Under-18 record, and is now the 4th fastest American ever!! Guys, this is a superstar!!

Watching the US National Championships on NBC. Before the women's 800m final, they didn't show all the competitors. Instead they focused on just the 3 black women that they expected to make the team.... instead, 3 white women, who weren't even mentioned before the race, made the team.

Looks like Amy Hunt leaned too soon. https://fb.watch/Bfiy69-s1P/

Jonas Phijffers of the Netherlands won their 400m Championships with a National U23 record of 44.71. There are so many guys under 45 this year. Meanwhile, after winning the 100m yesterday, Amy Hunt took 2nd in the British women's 200m. She had the same time as the winner, an exceptional 22.14...

Amy Hunt won the Women's 100m at the British Championships, with a time of 11.02 (1.5w). Louie Hinchliffe, 3rd in the Men's 100m, 10.01 (2.2w)

High School record holder, 16 year old Cooper Lutkenhaus, qualified for the finals of USA 800m Championships today. Incredible in this day and age.

Jenna Prandini qualified for the final, running 11.08 in her semi. Pretty amazing, especially considering she is 32 yrs old now. One of the few white sprinters who's had some longevity in the sport.

Yes, as the Soviet Union, all these countries performed better than today, as they were organized in one system. None of the countries have performed as well since the break-up of the Soviet Union, but that may finally be changing.

Wasn't sure where to put this .... since we were talking about Russian sprinters, I wanted to see how many of the famous Soviet track athletes were actually Russian. I knew, for example, that Valeriy Borzov was from Ukraine. I was somewhat surprised to find out that many of the great Soviet...

Sam Blaskowski, Victoria Cameron, and Jenna Prandini, all run this evening in the heats of 100m at the US Championships.

A quick article about Betty Robinson. What a natural speedster she must have been! https://www.shethepeople.tv/womens-firsts/betty-robinson-first-women-olympic-sprint-gold-9585803

I sort of get his point....you had just mentioned that Krylov had set the all-time Russian 100m record, and so he pointed out that this Japanese high school kid had just run faster than anybody in Russia ever has. The same comparison is not true with Poland, England, Germany, Italy, France, etc.

Sorato Shimizu's time of 10.00 is now listed on the World Athletics site.

Here's a nice article about Owe Fischer-Breiholz. He might be the next big thing in the 400m hurdles. https://www.european-athletics.com/home/news/owe-fischer-breiholz-the-farmer-s-son-who-struck-gold-in-bergen

Another amazing performance from a 16 year old at the Japanese Inter-High School Championships, was Taiju Goto winning the 400m hurdles in a Asian U18 record time of 49.84. Second place ran 49.98. Goto just turned 16 in May, and apparently this is his first year running the 400m hurdles. Btw...
