Ok, ok, yes there are other track fans out here!  My dad got me
interested in Track and Field when I was just a youngster, took me
to a Cal vs USC dual meet back when USC fielded an entire team.

I watched as many minutes of the trials as I could, lots of good
performances but quite a few name athletes didnt make it.

Mary Decker looked good - but I was amazed by the performances made
by Ruth Wysocki/Caldwell, to bad we won't see the Russian women at
the games for her to take a shot at.

I don't know why most of the distance runners who made the team didn't
seem excited, maybe they know the foriegn comp is going to be tough,
I saw a clip of the new world record in the 10K, getting real close
to 27 minutes flat!  I think Henry Marsh has an excellent chance to
take the Steeplechase if he can avoid tripping on a hurdle like he
did in the World Championships.

Comments?
