On John Little and Olympic Marathon Qualification Standards

Christopher Kelsall
June 1, 2008

Is American marathon runner John Little of Flagstaff, Arizona completely off his rocker? Is he delusional and possibly suffering from a bout of post marathon illusory psychosis? He just may be! He also may be fully and completely correct with his assertion that Canadian Olympic marathon standards are set too high by the Canadian Olympic Committee (COC) and Athletics Canada (AC). Of course John has nothing to lose by saying so when he talks to the Canadian press about his feelings on the subject.John Little, in not so many words, told the press that he was speaking on behalf of… more »

The summer has officially started and that means two things: first NCAA Track and Field Championships are right around the corner and second the Pro track season is under way. This weekend will be full of action as NCAA DI Regions, the Reebok Grand Prix, and the DKB-ISTAF (IAAF Golden League) meets will be raced.

This weekend our nation's top collegiate teams will compete in their respective regions with hopes of making it to the big show. For those that don't know there are four regions, which are comprised of the East Region (Florida State),MidEast Region (Arkansas), Midwest Region (Nebraska),… more »

Christopher Kelsall
May 27, 2008

The ING Ottawa Marathon organizing committee made a stand-up effort to bring in a crop of athletes very capable of taking down course records, especially in the 10k and the Marathon. With good prize money and Athletics Canada naming the date of Sunday May 25th as the final opportunity for Canadian men and women marathoners to qualify for the Beijing Olympics, the race was stacked with an elite field of Canadians and internationals. Riding in the second media van, armed with a Nikon D70 and a love for all things competitive, especially marathon running, I enjoyed observing the marathon unfold… more »


DII National Championship review

Cara Hawkins
May 27, 2008

A rare May storm welcomed in the NCAA Division II Track and Field Championships on May 22 in Walnut, CA. The storm caused a two plus hour delay for many events, and resulted in the rescheduling of the hammer throw, which had to be contested the next day. With this delay, the 10,000 meters did not began until 10:50 pm for the women, and 11:30 pm for the men. Abilene Christian’s Winrose Karunde won the women’s 10,000 meters in a time of 35:29.68, creating a five second gap between her and her next competitor, Emporia State’s Jonel Rossbach (35:35.02), in… more »
