Not sure where to post this . . . Oscar Schmidt the great basketball player from Brazil has died at the age of 68. Although he never played in the NBA, he was probably the greatest Olympic basketball player of all-time. Here's an article about him...

Trevor Bassitt ran an amazing 47.82 to win the 400m hurdles at the Tom Jones Memorial meet. It is the 5th fastest opening 400m hurdles time in history.

Jenna Prandini is still at it. She won the Invitational 200m at the Mt Sac Relays with a great time of 22.43 (3.3w). She also ran 11.29 (-1.6w) 100m. Meanwhile Mia Brahe-Pedersen continues to improve, running 11.19 (1.4w) 100m.

Victoria Cameron ran her first 200m of the outdoor season and won in 23.05 with no wind. A very good time, but it seems she is more of a 100m sprinter.

The results are incomplete, so I can't be sure, but it looks like Boling split 49.05 on the anchor leg. That's actually terrible.

Sam Blaskowski with a great (and surprising) time of 10.09 with only 0.5w.

Boling is also running in the 4x400m at this meet. I'd like to see his split.

Tyler won his heat in 10.20 with a wind of 2.2 m/s

Kresley is a white guy trying to look black.

Andrew Jones just set a National High School record in the 300m Hurdles, with a time of 34.72.

Apparently he ran on the FSU 4x440m relay a week ago. I suspect he is coming back from some sort of injury.

Keegan Hicks ran 10.20 in a 3A District meet on April 9th. Unfortunately, again, I see no wind indicated.

21.02 (0.8w) He can't be training seriously.

Boling is on the start list for the 200m today at the Tom Jones Memorial track meet in Florida. Will be interesting to see how he does. I thought he was sliding toward retirement. Or maybe he is just there to pick up an appearance fee paycheck...? We shall see.

Currently on the NCAA lists, Victoria Cameron is #1 in the 100 meters and Paje Rasmussen of BYU is #3. In the 200m, Braelyn Baker of Duke is #6. Also Baker is #3 in the 400m. On the men's side, Abel Jordan is currently #2 in the 100 meters. In the 400 meters, Jake Palermo of Penn St. is #7.

Here's a sprinter to keep an eye on . . . Davis DeGroot out of Utah has bests this year of 10.61, 20.68, and 45.46. His 400m time is #1 in the US!

Wow!

Tom Tanski and Carter Cass, both of Conroe The Woodlands High School in Texas, ran 10.22 and 10.36 respectively at a district meet on Friday. No wind indicated.

This is a video about Phil Shinnick, a long jumper who jumped a world record in 1963 that was never recognized because the officials forgot to turn on the wind gauge. However, in 2021, after 58 years, his record jump was finally recognized. Very interesting!

You were right! Andrew Jones came back in the final and ran 13.15 (1.9w). No.2 all-time, wind legal!

Our friend Emile Erasmus ran a 10.19 (-1.0w) in Johannesburg a few days ago.

Abby Steiner did not give up on track. Rather, she has had a series of injuries that she was/has not able to overcome. "Abby Steiner is taking an extended break from professional track and field following a third surgery on her left foot in August 2025 to address persistent, career-threatening...

And Austin Reaves will also miss the rest of the season with an oblique strain.

You're right - Wilma Rudolph did compete on the Tennessee State Women's track team. But there was no national championship for women's collegiate track until 1969. There was an AAU Championships for women going back to the 1920s, but that was the equivalent of a national championship vs. a...

I'm pretty sure it's accurate since there was no women's collegiate track until 1969, and women's NCAA track didn't start until 1982. I don't think any white guy has been the NCAA 100 leader since 1982, although there may have been a woman or two (Jenna Prandini and Hannah Cunliffe for example)...
