Athletes soar to new heights on the last day of Masters
CLEVELAND, OHIO -- As the competition on the final day of the 2011 USA Masters Outdoor Track & Field Championships came to a close, so did the high-flying assault on the records books by Johnnye Valien and Paul Babits.
Johnnye rockets to record
Johnnye Valien, of Los Angeles, Calif., set the American record in the W85 high jump with a clearance of .90m/2-11.5. She surpassed her previous record of .84m/2-9 set earlier this month in Sacramento. Training in the searing heat of California, Valien arrived in Cleveland prepared to endure four straight days of intense summer competition.
Valien, who competes for the SC Striders Track Club, capped off a tremendously successful meet that included two additional gold medals in the long jump (1.85m/6-1) and shot put (6.32m/20-9). On day three, in one of the fastest W85 100m finals ever, both Patricia Peterson and Valien broke the previous American record, running 22.38 and 22.82, respectively.
Babits barely misses world record
Paul Babits’ second attempt at 4.77m/15-7.75 in the M50 pole vault was the closest he came to bettering his own world record of 4.76m/15-7.25. Babits, of Fort Wayne, Ind., finished the competition with a clearance of 4.60m/15-1 - good enough for gold by more than half a meter.
His illustrious pole vaulting career, which includes an Olympic Trials birth, began as a young child when his father encouraged him to vault over a fence using a bamboo stick. More than 35 years later Babits has the highest M50 vault in the history of the sport.
Peterson flirts with own American Record
Patricia Peterson, of Albany, N.Y., nearly broke her own pending American record in the W85 200m. Earlier this month in Sacramento, Calif., Peterson ran a time of 51.43 to demolish the previous W85 record of 60.31 held by Carol Peebles.
During today’s competition, Paterson ran the W85 200m in 51.73, winning the gold medal and coming incredibly close to her own American record. During her championship heat, Paterson was pulled along by a younger field of runners 10-15 years her junior.
97 year old wins eight golds
Leland McPhie, of San Diego, Calif., put on a one-man show as he won three gold medals today and eight over the four days of competition. He emerged victorious in the M95 long jump (1.0l2m/3-4.25), shot put (4.96m/16-3.25), weight throw (4.63m/15-2), 100m (30.86), triple jump (2.76m/9-0.75), high jump (.70m/2-3.5), discus (9.76m/32-0) and javelin (8.14m/26-8). McPhie, who competes for the So Cal Track Club, braved the sun and relentless heat to accumulate his haul of gold medals.

Five American records set in Cleveland
CLEVELAND, OHIO – Day three of the 2011 USA Masters Outdoor Track & Field Championships saw five more American records fall. Carol Young of Marietta, Ga. continues her crusade of the American record book as she set her second record in three days.
Competition resumes tomorrow at 8:00 a.m. at the George Finnie Stadium at Baldwin Wallace College. Admission is free.
Young sets another record
Just as she did during day one of the USA Masters Outdoor Track & Field Championships, Young, competing for the Throw1deep Club, needed only one throw to improve her own W70 American record of 12.53m/41-1 in the weight throw. Young heaved a 12.73m/41-9 bomb on her first attempt to surpass the record she set in 2008. She also holds the W65 American weight throw record of 13.04m/42-9, which has stood for the last six years.
Former Texas Longhorn sets American record in M75 100m
Robert Whilden of Houston, Texas has set multiple records at both the international level and at his alma mater, the University of Texas. Whilden, who competes for the Houston Elite Track and Field Club, can now add another American record to that list. He crossed the line in the M75 100m in a blistering 13.67 seconds, surpassing the previous record of 13.72 seconds set in 1992 by Payton Jordan.
Payton Jordan (March 19, 1917 – February 5, 2009) was the head coach of the 1968 United States Olympic track and field team, one of the most powerful track teams ever assembled, which won a record twenty-four medals, including twelve golds. He was born in Whittier, California. Jordan was exceedingly successful as a collegiate track coach for a decade at Occidental College and for 23 years at Stanford University. A star three-sport athlete in his youth, Jordan more recently became one of the most dominant track athletes of all time, as a sprinter, in senior divisions (age 50 and over). Jordan died of cancer at his home in Laguna Hills, California on February 5, 2009.

Midwest Masters T&F Club’s Welding sets American record
Ruth Welding of Elk Grove Village, Ill. set the W55 American weight throw record when she launched the weight 13.60m/44-7 - furthering the previous mark of 13.50m/44-5 thrown by Myrle Mensey in 2002. All of Welding’s six throws measured more than 12m, with two sailing past the 13m barrier. Her recording setting throw came on her fifth attempt of the day and each measured throw would have been long enough to earn her gold in the W55 age division.
Stephens improves own W35 American mark
All but one of Jennifer Stephens’ weight throws surpassed her previous American record of 10.60m/34-9, which she set in 2009. Stephens, of Fairfax, Va. heaved a throw of 11.75m/38-6 to improve her American record by more than a meter. She will continue to compete for the Potomac Valley Track Club on day four in the high jump.

Krah, Blake and Novy collect second win at Junior Olympics
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
WICHITA, KAN. - Despite an afternoon weather delay, several athletes collected their second win of the meet on day four of competition at the USATF National Junior Olympics Outdoor Track & Field Championships.
Marcus Krah of the Durham Striders, fresh off his winning performance in the triple jump, was victorious in the youth boys' long jump with a mark of 6.50m/21-4. Yesterday, Krah's leap of 13.43m/44-0.75 improved a 31-year-old record in the triple jump.
Vegas Valley Track Club's Ashlie Blake was another athlete who earned her second victory with a win in the intermediate girls' shot put. Blake's throw of 15.08m/49-5.75 was just 12 centimeters short of Michelle Carter's national age group record in the event. Blake set a new National Junior Olympics meet record yesterday in the discus throw with her toss of 46.61m/152-11.
Fellow thrower Tera Novy of Team Evolution claimed her second gold medal as she won the young women's discus with a mark of 46.57m/152-9. Novy was victorious in Friday's shot put competing, throwing 13.67m/44-10.25.
Tadepalli spins to victory
Kushaal Tadepalli of Valley United Track Club (Granada Hills, CA) was victorious in the midget boys' shot put throw. Tadepalli switched from the glide to the spin on his fifth throw, and launched a toss of 14.93m/48-11.75, a three foot improvement on his personal best.
"I felt really good," Tadepalli said. "When I came here, I just felt like I was going to do really well."
Although Tadepalli's mark was the best throw by more than two feet, he wasn't sure if it would hold up for the win.
"I thought another competitor would match my mark at least, but fortunately for me, they didn't," he said.
On the hill above the shot put ring, Tadepalli had a small cheering section urging him on.
"My dad and sister were there, and the rest of my team," Tadepalli said. "It really encouraged me to do my best."
Field outshines competition
Texas Faces' Devin Field topped a competitive field in the young men's long jump, finishing in first with a leap of 7.58m/25-10.5. Field, who competed for Team USA this past weekend at the Pan Am Junior Championships, came into the meet with high expectations.
"I was looking for the win and the sophomore record because last year I came three inches short of the freshman record, and this year I was three inches short of the sophomore record," Field said. "My farthest jump in the prelims was 26 feet, but I fouled it."
Field and the other long jumpers had the crowd at Cessna stadium slow-clapping and cheering them on.
"The crowd was a real big help," he said. "My team and other kids with their support, it just felt good."
For Field, a veteran of the National Junior Olympics meet, the win was a redemption of sorts.
"I've had a bad losing at Junior Olympics, so this was kind of nice," Field said.
Leleux tops vaulters
Morgann Leleux of New Heights walked away with the victory in the young women's pole vault, falling just short of the national record. Leleux, who also competed at Pan Am Championships this past weekend, jumped the winning height of 4.00m/13-1.5, but wasn't able to clear 4.22m/13-10 to best Natalie Willer's age group benchmark.
"At Pan Am Games, I broke a pole, so they shipped down some poles that we got in yesterday," Leleux said. "We were just kind of trying them out today, and we weren't exactly sure where to put standards and stuff. That kind of messed me up."
Like many other events schedule for the afternoon, the pole vault faced a delay.
"We were supposed to compete at 2:30 and it's like 8 o'clock now," Leleusx said after the event ended. "I think I warmed up three times. It took forever."
Leleux, who will have another shot at the record later this summer, was content with just getting out and competing.
"This is my last summer with my dad as my coach, so I'm just taking all the chances to spend with him that I can," she said.
Other event winners from today's competition include the following:
-Keandre Bates, Team Bliss TC-intermediate boys' triple jump (14.26m/46-9.5)

Mulazim, Maxwell and Wilson set world records at Masters
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
CLEVELAND, OHIO -- For the second straight day, the USA Masters Outdoor Track & Field Championships began with heavy morning showers. The rain eventually subsided and the clouds parted, allowing many of the masters athletes to shine. Several world records fell during the second day of competition, including one set by Khalid Mulazim of Cleveland, Ohio.
Cleveland man sets world record
Running faster than most runners half his age, Khalid Mulazim of Cleveland, Ohio, set the world record in the 400m by posting a time of 50.18 seconds. Mulazim, who competes for Southwest Sprinters TC, broke Fred Sowerby’s previous world record of 50.20 seconds set in 1994. Although the 400m is considered a relatively short race, he still managed to gap the rest of the field by nearly five seconds.
When Mulazim was asked how long he thought his world record could stand the test of time, he was quick to respond, “about a month” noting how he plans on running a sub-50 second 400m in the near future.
Best 90+ athlete in the world breaks another record
Perhaps the most inspiring performance of the day was turned in by Ralph Maxwell, 91, of Alamo, Tex. in the pole vault. Maxwell soared over 1.43m/4-8.25 to win his age division and eclipse the previous world record of 1.42m/4-7.75 set by Vic Younger of Australia in 2003. Maxwell’s world record performance comes only three weeks after he solidified his status as the best 90+ athlete in the world by winning the 2011 World Masters Athletics Championships in the decathlon with a total of 7069 points.
Having already clinched the victory in the M90 division, he decided to withdraw from the competition after clearing the record setting height. Maxwell, who is also a renowned vocalist and song writer, then demonstrated some of his other talents at the end of the competition when he began singing for fans and reporters.
Wilson hurdles into the record books
Thaddeus Wilson of Oxnard, Calif. won the M60 100m short hurdles with a world record time of 14.37 seconds. He bettered the previous record of 14.62 seconds set by Courtland Gray of the United States in 2004.
In a race where results are so often determined by fractions of a second, Wilson powered over the hurdles and won in dramatic fashion, bettering his nearest competitor by a whopping 2.18 seconds. Wilson who competes for the Pacific Coast Track Club battled a slight headwind of .4 meters per second on his way to setting the world record.
Mulazim was only one of many Ohio residents to earn a national championship title during day two of competition. Other Ohio runners who won gold medals today are:
M30 - Timothy Budic, Berea, Ohio, 3000m steeplechase, 9:55.05
M50 - Charles Greene, Dayton, Ohio, javelin, 52.43m/172-0
M60 - Chris Schmid, Wooster, Ohio, 5000m race walk, 26:05.80
M70 - Grover Coats, Warrensville Heights Ohio, long jump, 4.08m/13-4.75
M70 - John Sloan, Hartville, Ohio, hammer throw, 29.12m/95-6
M85 - George Roudebush, Chardon, Ohio, hammer throw, 19.44m/63-9
M85 - Denver Smith, Louisville, Ohio, pole vault, 1.70m/5-7
M80 - Jack Greenwald, Seville, Ohio, 400m, 1:35.66
M90 - John Means, Richmond Heights, Ohio, 400m, 1:42.69
W50 - Lynn McConnell of Quaker City, Ohio, 5000m race walk, 43:15.76.
W60 - Mary Hartzier, Gahanna, Ohio, discus, 25.30m/83-0
W70 - Rita Matz, Lebanon, Ohio, discus, 18.78m/61-7

Athlete Spotlight - Marquise Goodwin
It’s called the Red River Rivalry and pits two of the premier programs in college football against each other. Major bragging rights are annually on the line when the Texas Longhorns and Oklahoma Sooners meet up in one of the more heated contests each season in college football.
Many plays can decide a football game, but during the 2009 version of the Red River Rivalry one specific 5-foot-9, 177-pound wide receiver made all the difference.
When speedy and undersized Texas Longhorn Marquis Goodwin returned a kick 95 yards for a touchdown to secure a 16-13 Texas win, he was nothing short of an instant hero in the Lone Star state. At that moment, an appearance in the 2011 IAAF World Outdoor Track & Field Championships was the furthest thing from his mind. After all, being one of the best in the country in two different sports isn’t something that happens often.
In a couple of quick seasons with Texas as a wide receiver and a long jumper, Goodwin has accomplished more than most people ever dream of.
His latest accomplishment on the track was winning the long jump at the 2011 USA Outdoor Track & Field Championships in June in Eugene, Ore. and earning a spot on Team USA for the World Championships August 27-September 4 in Daegu, South Korea. And for Goodwin, making the world team along with his continued success on the football field didn’t come by accident
“Both,” Goodwin said when asked which was more gratifying, scoring the touchdown against Oklahoma or making the World Championships team. “They were both goals that I wanted to achieve. They were goals that I had and now I have to go out and set new ones.”
Those new objectives and his attention now shift specifically for Daegu and eventually the 2012 Olympic Summer Games in London.
“I want to get on the medal stand, but my ultimate goal is not just to win a medal, it’s to win the [gold] medal,” Goodwin said. “I’m not training this hard to win just any medal.”
Goodwin essentially came from nowhere to win the long jump at USA Outdoors in 8.33m/27-4. It was easily a personal best for him and the first time he has jumped over 27 feet.
The win in Eugene also marks the beginning of a concentration on solely track and field for Goodwin. Shortly after the USA Outdoor Championships he announced he will redshirt the upcoming football season for the Longhorns to turn all his attention to track and field with the hopes of reaching the goals he set out for himself in Daegu and London.
“Coach (Mack) Brown was very supportive,” Goodwin said of the support of his decision by the Texas’ head football coach. “He knew what my chances were coming in and he knew that making the Olympic team has always been one of my aspirations.”
While a return to football is imminent, right now it’s all about track and field for Goodwin. He has full intentions to return for his final two years as a wide receiver for Texas in 2012 and 2013. After his collegiate eligibility is used up for both sports he will be faced with a decision of a career as a professional track and field athlete or a possible career in the National Football League. However, at the moment his aspirations remain clear.
“I really don’t know, time will tell,” Goodwin said about which sport he plans to pursue. “That’s a long time from now and I will worry about it then. Right now I am concentrating on the World Championships.”
With endless potential and a point in his life with few limits, Goodwin has a resume which speaks for itself.
A USA Outdoors champion, Goodwin also won the 2010 NCAA long jump championship, is a three-time Big 12 champion and a two-time World Junior champion. While still a high school athlete, he placed fifth in the long jump in the open division at the 2009 USA Outdoor Track & Field Championships and set a national high school record in the process. On the football field he has caught 61 passes in just his two seasons.
With goals that change with each competition, Goodwin will look at each track and field competition or at each Red River Rivalry with the same outlook – doing all he can to be the best. Those goals to be the best will be on his mind when he lands in Daegu.

Three records fall on day three of USATF National Junior Olympics
WICHITA, KAN. - Three national youth records fell as competition continued on day three of the USATF National Junior Olympics Outdoor Track & Field Championships.
Marcus Krah of the Durham Striders leapt to a record-setting distance in the youth boys' triple jump. Krah won the competition with a jump of 13.54m/44-5.25, but because the mark was heavily wind-aided, it was ineligible for the record. Instead, another mark from the competition, 13.43m/44-0.75, was submitted for the record.
Another national record fell in the youth boys' pole vault, as Adam Coulon of Flying Dragons Track Club cleared 4.30m/14-1.25 to collect the win. The previous record of 4.28m/14-0.5 stood for 34 years and was set by Bill Lange.
Gray vaults to national record
Lone Star Pole Vault Club competitor Meagan Gray set a youth girls' pole vault national record with her height of 3.50m/11-5.75. Gray's mark exceeded Carissa Culver's previous record of 3.41m/11-2.25 set back in 2007. Gray, who will enter high school in the fall, was competing in her first National Junior Olympics competition,
"I was kind of looking to break the record, but I just wanted to come in here and have fun since it's the first time I [competed at Junior Olympics]," Gray said. "I was nervous at first because all of these girls have been doing for it a long time, but I felt very confident in the surroundings. The weather was perfect, and everybody was there to support me."
Gray, a former gymnast, is a relative newcomer to the pole vault. She started in seventh grade and has excelled quickly in the event.
"The first time I [pole vaulted], I jumped like eight or nine [feet]," she said. "I thought that was super high, but now it seems like super low compared to what I'm jumping now."
Although Gray fell short of the next height in the progression, she's confident that it's within reach.
"I've tried to clear 11-10 for the past week now, but I think I might get it soon," Gray said. "I think I might get it at the next meet."
Blake sets PR and meet record
Ashlie Blake's (PS Vegas Flyers) winning toss in the intermediate girls' discus throw earned her a National Junior Olympics meet record and personal best. Blake set the record on her third throw, only to improve that mark in finals, finishing with a best toss of 46.61m/152-11.
"I felt nervous because [second place finisher Kennedy Blahnik] has been beating me for the last few years," Blake said. "I just went out there and tried to throw my best."
Although Blake was seeded third in the event, she entered the competition with lofty goals.
"My goal was to PR, get the record, and come away with the win," she said.
Blake, who competes in all the throwing events, considers the discus and shot put her favorite events. Friday, she will contend for the shot put title as the top-ranked competitor.
"Discus is all technique," Blake said. "You got to have it precise, or it just won't go far."
Kline brothers finish 1-2 in shot put
Jeremy and Jermaine Kline, twin brothers who hail from Illinois, were the top two finishers in the young men's shot put. Jeremy came out on top with his toss of 19.95m/65-5.5, while Jermaine finished close behind with a mark of 19.71m/64-8.
"I had higher hopes for what I want to do today, but I felt good kind of overall," Jermaine said. "The ring was really slippery and I didn't expect that."
"I just wanted to beat him," said Jeremy of his brother. "I did, so I'm good."
Jeremy and Jermaine, who compete for Dupage Track Club, can't help but be competitive in everything they do.
"We're always competing cause he thinks he's better," Jeremy joked. "We'll like see who can lift more or eat more."
Regardless of their competitive natures, both brothers help push each other in training and competition.
"It kind of just like motivates you to work harder than the other person, but I think that's how a person gets better" Jermaine said. "If you have someone that you're like close to or admire a lot, you try to work twice as hard. In the long run it pays off."
Below are some other highlights and notable performances from day three of the meet:
Laque Moen-Davis of the Midwest Striders earned her second gold medal of the meet with a win in the young women's long jump. Moen-Davis, who won the heptathlon competition on Wednesday, finished with a mark of 5.94m/19-6. One of her jumps appeared to surpass the national youth record for the event, but was called a foul.
Margaux Jones was another competitor to claim her second national title. Her clearance of 1.65m/5-5 in the youth girls' high jump was good for first place. Jones was the pentathlon champion for her age group. Later in the week, she will compete as one of the top-ranked entrants in the 100m hurdles and long jump competitions.
Brothers Marcus and Carlan Naisant of the Arizona Flames claimed a 1-2 finish in the midget boys' 300g javelin throw. Marcus was the top competitor with a throw of 46.06m/151-1, while Carlan finished the competition in second with his toss of 42.96m/140-11).

Young sets hammer record at USA Masters
CLEVELAND, OHIO -- Carol Young of Marietta, Ga. headlined the opening day of the 2011 USA Masters Outdoor Track & Field Championships with an American Record in the W70 hammer throw.
Competition resumes tomorrow at 8:00 a.m. at the George Finnie Stadium at Baldwin Wallace College. Admission is free.
Hammer throw gold stays forever Young
One throw is all Young needed to better her own American record of 29.06m/95-4 in the W70 division. As the rains cleared and the sun beamed down on the throwing ring in Cleveland, Ohio, Young, who competes for the Throw1deep Club, seized the opportunity by launching the hammer a staggering 29.66m/97-3 on her first throw.
All of Young’s throws, ranging from 29.06m to 22.03m, would have earned her first place, as she truly dominated her age division unlike any other field athlete at the meet. Young also holds the women’s 65-69 American record at 35.93m/117-10, which has stood for more than six years.
Bernhard flirts with American record
Tom Bernhard of Castro Valley, Calif. crossed the finish line only 4 seconds over the American record of 17:19.00 set by Clive Davies more than 30 years ago. Battling adverse conditions with periods of rain all morning long, Bernhard, who competes for New Balance Excelsior, won the M60 5,000m race in a time of 17:22.80. The closest competitor crossed the line nearly two minutes behind, leaving Bernhard left to run the majority of the race alone.
Bernhard’s performance was so impressive that even the M55 5,000m runners, who competed on the track at the same time as the M60 couldn’t match his pace. Sam Torres of Toledo, Ohio won the M55 race in 18:27.70.
Meiler wins double gold
Flo Meiler, besides having one of the most ‘sport-appropriate’ names in all of track and field, took home two gold medals on the first day of competition. Meiler, of Shelburne, Vt. and competing for Mass Velocity Track Club, earned her first gold medal in the W75 hammer throw, where she won the event on her second throw of 19.87m/65-2. Five of Meiler’s six throws of the day traveled over 17m/55-9.
Meiler’s second gold medal came in the W75 pentathlon. Competing in a grueling line-up of five events, the hurdles, high jump, shot put, long jump and 800m run, she amassed 3,320 points. The morning rains proved to be troublesome for some of the pentathlon athletes. Meiler slipped and fell in the 800m run; however, she was still able to gather herself and finish the race strong – strong enough for an overall gold medal.
Other spectacular performances from the first day of competition included local favorites
Barbara Broad of Peper Pike, Ohio who won the W60 5,000m race in a time of 20:37 and Sam Torres of Toledo who claimed gold in the M55 5,00m in 18:27.70. Beth Simpson of Conneaut, Ohio sent the hammer flying 27.39m/89-10 to win the W30 hammer throw. Mary Hartzler had an outstanding day in the W60 hammer as the resident of Gahanna, Ohio improved her seed mark by more than a meter to win in 36.98m/121-4. George Riser of nearby Lyndhurst won the M85 shot put in 9.04m/29-8.
Masters standout Oneithea Lewis of Oakland Garden won the W50 hammer throw with a mark more than 10 meters further than the rest of the field in 53.36m/175-0.

Competition resumes tomorrow at 8:00 a.m. at the George Finnie Stadium at Baldwin Wallace College. Admission is free.
Hammer throw gold stays forever Young
One throw is all Young needed to better her own American record of 29.06m/95-4 in the W70 division. As the rains cleared and the sun beamed down on the throwing ring in Cleveland, Ohio, Young, who competes for the Throw1deep Club, seized the opportunity by launching the hammer a staggering 29.66m/97-3 on her first throw.
All of Young’s throws, ranging from 29.06m to 22.03m, would have earned her first place, as she truly dominated her age division unlike any other field athlete at the meet. Young also holds the women’s 65-69 American record at 35.93m/117-10, which has stood for more than six years.
Bernhard flirts with American record
Tom Bernhard of Castro Valley, Calif. crossed the finish line only 4 seconds over the American record of 17:19.00 set by Clive Davies more than 30 years ago. Battling adverse conditions with periods of rain all morning long, Bernhard, who competes for New Balance Excelsior, won the M60 5,000m race in a time of 17:22.80. The closest competitor crossed the line nearly two minutes behind, leaving Bernhard left to run the majority of the race alone.
Bernhard’s performance was so impressive that even the M55 5,000m runners, who competed on the track at the same time as the M60 couldn’t match his pace. Sam Torres of Toledo, Ohio won the M55 race in 18:27.70.
Meiler wins double gold
Flo Meiler, besides having one of the most ‘sport-appropriate’ names in all of track and field, took home two gold medals on the first day of competition. Meiler, of Shelburne, Vt. and competing for Mass Velocity Track Club, earned her first gold medal in the W75 hammer throw, where she won the event on her second throw of 19.87m/65-2. Five of Meiler’s six throws of the day traveled over 17m/55-9.
Meiler’s second gold medal came in the W75 pentathlon. Competing in a grueling line-up of five events, the hurdles, high jump, shot put, long jump and 800m run, she amassed 3,320 points. The morning rains proved to be troublesome for some of the pentathlon athletes. Meiler slipped and fell in the 800m run; however, she was still able to gather herself and finish the race strong – strong enough for an overall gold medal.
Other spectacular performances from the first day of competition included local favorites
Barbara Broad of Peper Pike, Ohio who won the W60 5,000m race in a time of 20:37 and Sam Torres of Toledo who claimed gold in the M55 5,00m in 18:27.70. Beth Simpson of Conneaut, Ohio sent the hammer flying 27.39m/89-10 to win the W30 hammer throw. Mary Hartzler had an outstanding day in the W60 hammer as the resident of Gahanna, Ohio improved her seed mark by more than a meter to win in 36.98m/121-4. George Riser of nearby Lyndhurst won the M85 shot put in 9.04m/29-8.
Masters standout Oneithea Lewis of Oakland Garden won the W50 hammer throw with a mark more than 10 meters further than the rest of the field in 53.36m/175-0. Michael Janusey of Venetia, Penn. and David Kohls of Lafayette, Calif. won the M50 and M55 pentathlons respectively iwith identical scores of 2942 points. Steeplechaser Ross Bolding of Monticello, Ark. won gold in his very first pentathlon. Bolding won the M65 age division with 2,517 points.

Running USA State of the Sport 2011: Largest Road Races
Record number of finishers in top 100 U.S. timed races; growth in races with over 50K finishers
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. - (July 27, 2011) - Each year Running USA releases statistics for the nation's top road races including such popular lists as the Top 100 U.S. Timed, Largest Festivals, Largest by Distance, Largest by State, Women-Only, World's Largest and Youth Runs. To see where your favorite road races ranked in 2010 or what the #1 race is in the different largest race categories, go to: www.runningusa.org/statistics/largest
Top 100 U.S. Timed - In 2010, the Top 100 U.S. Timed list accounted for just over 1.4 million finishers (a record) compared to 922,500 finishers in 2000, up more than 51%, and as a benchmark, in 2000 the 100th race on the list had just over 3,600 finishers, while by 2010 that number had grown to more than 7,000. Last year, a record 42 half-marathons made up the Top 100 U.S. Timed list, and four of those half-marathons were inaugural events.
By comparison, in 2000, there were only 11 half-marathons on the Top 100 U.S. Timed list and none were inaugural. As mentioned in previous State of the Sport Reports, since 2003, the half-marathon has been the fastest growing distance in the U.S. with an incredible 24% annual growth the past two years.
Largest by Distance - If you think a marathon or half-marathon distance had the largest race field in the nation, think again. In fact, the top 3 largest road races for 2010 were two 10Ks and a 12K all with more than 50,000 timed finishers each: Atlanta Journal-Constitution Peachtree Road Race 10K (50,918), Lilac Bloomsday Run 12K (50,721) and Dick's Sporting Goods BolderBOULDER 10K (50,477); it was the first time that more than two U.S. road races exceeded 50,000 timed finishers in the same year.
During the Second Running Boom, the 15K and 10 mile have also shown impressive, but relatively quiet growth compared to the more talked about half-marathon and marathon. In 2010, for example, for the first time, three U.S. 15Ks had more than 10,000 finishers: Gate River Run (13,342), Hot Chocolate (12,338) and Boilermaker (11,540) and there were none in 2005, while in the 10 mile, three races had more than 15,000 finishers: Blue Cross Broad Street Run (26,266), Army Ten-Miler (21,744) and Credit Union Cherry Blossom (15,762) with none in 2005.

Largest by State - The ING New York City Marathon weekend including the Marathon, Continental Airlines International Friendship Run 4K, NYRR 5 Mile and Run With Champions youth event rank New York #1 with the largest festival event on the map with nearly 62,000 estimated finishers (the vast majority timed with a world record 44,977 finishers in the Marathon), but other states have stand-alone large events topping the list too such as the "Show Me" state of Missouri (Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure Festival 5K - 55,419 estimated finishers), Georgia (Atlanta Journal-Constitution Peachtree Road Race 10K - 50,918), Washington (Lilac Bloomsday 12K - 50,721) and Colorado (Dick's Sporting Goods BolderBOULDER 10K - 50,477).
Largest Festivals - Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure events include 8 races in the top 15 festivals for 2010. Overall U.S. Festivals continue to experience tremendous growth. For example, in 2010, the 50th largest festival had 22,089 finishers compared to 2009 when the 50th largest festival had 19,450, and over ten years ago only 12,000 finishers.
Women-Only - Of the largest women-only races (95% or greater female finishers), seven of the top 15 were half-marathons in 2010. The top 3 events spanned from the west coast to the east coast, with the Nike Women's Half-Marathon in California (15,556), Disney Princess Half-Marathon in Florida (11,359), and the St. Luke's Women's Fitness Celebration in Idaho (11,041 estimated finishers). In 2010, there were more than 20 women-only events with 2000-plus finishers.
World's Largest - With 67,999 timed finishers, the Sun-Herald City2Surf 14K in Sydney, Australia was the world's largest road race in 2010. For the first time, six marathons - New York City, London, Chicago, Berlin, Paris and Tokyo - had more than 30,000 finishers in the same year, while the U.S. again had 7 of the 15 largest marathons in the world. There were also nine half-marathons worldwide with more than 19,000 finishers (a record) and a record-tying seven with more than 20,000 finishers (also 2009). Last year, the United States had 14 of the top 20 half-marathons in the world.
Largest Youth - With the development of the final mile programs and the majority of road race events now incorporating a youth component, youth runs across the nation have also experienced explosive growth the last 5-10 years. Running USA estimates that there were more than 40 youth events in 2010 that surpassed 2,000 youth finishers at a single event.

Quad-City Times Bix 7 Attracts Young Talent
Young up-and-comers in the sport are favored in 37th edition of storied race
Courtesy Don Doxsie, Quad-City Times
DAVENPORT, Iowa - The Quad-City Times Bix 7 is attracting a younger crowd this year.
There is a good chance that the men's winner in Saturday's 37th edition of the race will be among the youngest in the race's history.
Two of the top five seeds are 22 or younger. Pre-race favorite Allan Kiprono is 21.
The Bix 7 has had only one men's winner younger than that. Lawrence Kiprotich was a month short of his 20th birthday when he pulled a stunning upset to win the 2006 race. All the other winners in the past 10 years have been 25 or older.
But don't be shocked if Kiprono and fellow Kenyan Lani Rutto, 22, beat some much older elite runners to the tape. Each has been racing in the U.S. for less than a year.
Kiprono's first race in this country was the Beach to Beacon 10K last August. Rutto never had run a U.S. road race until this spring.
The top U.S. hopeful, two-time Bix champion Meb Kefelzighi, withdrew from the race because of an Achilles injury. Ryan Hall, who won the race in 2010, will not return to defend his title.
In the women's race, rising star Misiker Mekonnin of Ethiopia, 25, has been awarded the No. 2 bib normally given to the pre-race favorite.
Mekonnin was a relative unknown before a breakthrough victory in the Lilac Bloomsday 12K in Spokane, Wash., in early May. She displayed a tremendous finishing kick to defeat fellow Ethiopian Wude Ayalew by a single second.
Mekonnin was expected to be one of two Ethiopians with a good chance of winning here, but Ejegayehu Dibaba was forced to withdraw this week because of visa problems.
Mekonnin's primary competition now is expected to come from Kenyan runners. Caroline Rotich, who was fourth in the Boston Marathon in April, figures to be the prime contender, and the field also includes Catherine Ndereba and Gladys Asiba, each of whom has the advantage of having run the Bix six times previously. Ndereba has won the race three times - in 1999, 2001 and 2003.
Former Iowa State national champion Lisa Koll, who won the Bix 7 last year, has opted not to return to defend her championship.

The San Francisco Marathon is Ready to Run on Sunday, July 31
Event announces partnership with global information company Wipro Technologies
SAN FRANCISCO- The San Francisco Marathon (TSFM), set for Sunday, July 31, 2011, announced a partnership with Wipro Technologies. Wipro will be the presenting sponsor for 2011 and title the marathon in 2012 and 2013.
Known for its beautiful scenic views, TSFM presented by Wipro is the only race that
runs in the roadbed of the Golden Gate Bridge. The USATF certified loop course starts at the Ferry Building, runs along the Embarcadero, over the Bridge, along the coastline, through Golden Gate Park and the Haight-Ashbury District and past AT&T Park.
TSFM presented by Wipro is rated one of the top marathons in the US, is the largest marathon in Northern California, the 13th largest marathon in the US and is a Boston Marathon qualifier. It generated over $42 million in economic output impact for the city of San Francisco in 2010.
The winner of last year's marathon and course record holder, Keith Bechtol, will be returning this year to run the half-marathon while three time winner, Andrew Cook, hopes to regain the course record he set in 2007. Michael Wardian, another elite to watch, won the National Marathon in Washington D.C. in five of the last six years and
won the US 50K championships in 2008, 2009 and 2010.
Several celebrities that are running to raise money and awareness for their favorite charities. Sophia Bush of the television show One Tree Hill will be running the 5K to promote volunteerism as well as raise money for The Nature Conservancy. Bush will be hosting the Fundraiser Superstar Tent where all runners who raise $1,000 or more for an approved charity will have access to this tent at the start/finish line.
Jared Fogle, spokesperson for Subway, will be running with Olympic Gold Medalist
and Dancing with the Stars Champion, Apolo Ohno, to raise awareness for the Jared Foundation whose mission is to stamp out childhood obesity. Ada Wong and Jesse Atkins, contestants of season 10's Biggest Loser, will be running the first half-marathon to raise funds for the American Red Cross.
Marathon events include the full marathon, two half-marathons, a 5K, a
progressive marathon and the Munchkin Kids Run. See more details at http://www.thesfmarathon.com
RACER Event Frames Preserve Finish Line Moments for Posterity Affordable, personalized approach to framing race day bibs celebrates your athletic achievement
LOS ANGELES - When the marathon or triathlon you've trained so hard to complete is over, sticking that race number you wore proudly in a drawer just doesn't seem right.
It's the #1 souvenir of an impressive accomplishment - and it went along with you the whole way. That's why RACER Event Frames (www.racerframes.com) has come up with a new affordable way to frame it and hang on your home or office wall, creating a point of conversations with visitors, or just a sense of pride when you glance that way each day.
"Each race bib number is a personal artifact proving you showed up and did the race, you toed the start line and dared to see what's possible," said Scott Power, creator of RACER Event Frames. Power, an Ironman triathlete, started the company after realizing the existing frame options for race bibs were too traditional looking for his tastes -- and expensive. So, he designed an alternative that retails for under $20.
"My fellow athletes like RACER Event Frames because it's cleverly designed and inexpensive. Race directors and event producers like RACER Frames because it can be used as athlete gift or goodie bag swag," Power said. It's also a great gift for the athlete in your life.
For event organizers and directors, custom branding options on the frames are a great way to personalize the frames for sale or giveaway at your next event. You can send participants home with a special way to savor and remember their race experience.
"We believe RACER Event Frames will delight athletes as something new and interesting, while simultaneously increasing the value of sponsorships by extending brand impressions into the home or office," said Power, who has an extensive background in brand consulting and design.
His product launches as the running industry experiences the "second running boom." Numbers of runners trying marathon and half-marathon distances continue to swell, according to data from Running USA, and triathlon participation is also at an all-time high.
As a recreational athlete himself, Power recognizes the sticking power of that first successful race.
"When one decides to use a RACER Frame, they aren't just framing and hanging a piece of paper. They are honoring everything it took them to show up and finish the race. Every dollar invested and early morning run, every missed weekend with family or friends, every sore muscle and fear of failure. A racer's bib is a symbol of all the personal sacrifice and dedication it took to do the race," Power added.
RACER Event Frames have a unique contour design with a black background and look great hanging individually or as a group. They assemble easily by hand and require just one small frame nail for wall hanging. To see images of the product, which retails for $19.95, visit www.racerframes.com

RACER Event Frames Preserve Finish Line Moments for Posterity Affordable, personalized approach to framing race day bibs celebrates your athletic achievement
LOS ANGELES - When the marathon or triathlon you've trained so hard to complete is over, sticking that race number you wore proudly in a drawer just doesn't seem right.
It's the #1 souvenir of an impressive accomplishment - and it went along with you the whole way. That's why RACER Event Frames (www.racerframes.com) has come up with a new affordable way to frame it and hang on your home or office wall, creating a point of conversations with visitors, or just a sense of pride when you glance that way each day.
"Each race bib number is a personal artifact proving you showed up and did the race, you toed the start line and dared to see what's possible," said Scott Power, creator of RACER Event Frames. Power, an Ironman triathlete, started the company after realizing the existing frame options for race bibs were too traditional looking for his tastes -- and expensive. So, he designed an alternative that retails for under $20.
"My fellow athletes like RACER Event Frames because it's cleverly designed and inexpensive. Race directors and event producers like RACER Frames because it can be used as athlete gift or goodie bag swag," Power said. It's also a great gift for the athlete in your life.
For event organizers and directors, custom branding options on the frames are a great way to personalize the frames for sale or giveaway at your next event. You can send participants home with a special way to savor and remember their race experience.
"We believe RACER Event Frames will delight athletes as something new and interesting, while simultaneously increasing the value of sponsorships by extending brand impressions into the home or office," said Power, who has an extensive background in brand consulting and design.
His product launches as the running industry experiences the "second running boom." Numbers of runners trying marathon and half-marathon distances continue to swell, according to data from Running USA, and triathlon participation is also at an all-time high.
As a recreational athlete himself, Power recognizes the sticking power of that first successful race.
"When one decides to use a RACER Frame, they aren't just framing and hanging a piece of paper. They are honoring everything it took them to show up and finish the race. Every dollar invested and early morning run, every missed weekend with family or friends, every sore muscle and fear of failure. A racer's bib is a symbol of all the personal sacrifice and dedication it took to do the race," Power added.
RACER Event Frames have a unique contour design with a black background and look great hanging individually or as a group. They assemble easily by hand and require just one small frame nail for wall hanging. To see images of the product, which retails for $19.95, visit www.racerframes.com

Multis shine on day one and two of the USATF National Junior Olympics
DAY ONE
WICHITA, KAN. - Margaux Jones, who competed for California Rising Stars in 2010,won her first event of the meet with her performance in the youth girls' pentathlon on day one of the USATF National Junior Olympics Outdoor Track & Field Championships.
Jones' final score of 3,436 fell less than 100 points shy of Alyissa Hasan's national youth girls' record.
"I didn't run the best in my hurdle time, so I knew I had to make up some points," Jones said. "From then on I was set straight to do better than I did at previous meets."
Jones ran 15.27 in the 100m hurdles, threw the shot 8.76m/28-9, leaped 1.60m/5-3 in the high jump, dominated the long jump competition with a jump of 5.73m/18-9.75 and finished the 800m in 2:31.25.
"I got a lot of points in the long jump," she said. "It was the first event that I started doing when I started running track, and it was the first event that I went to Junior Olympics in. From then on it was always my favorite."
Jones, who has won numerous national titles in the pentathlon, long jump and high jump, may call it quits in the multi-events.
"I'm actually not planning on doing the heptathlon next year," Jones said. "I don't really want to learn how to do another event because I have so many different events that I do individually. So I figured instead of doing a whole bunch of events, I'd just do a few and be good at them."
Thomas hammers through competition
Kelli Thomas of Throw 1 Deep (Marietta, GA) won the intermediate girls' hammer throw with her toss of 44.08m/144-7. On her sixth and final attempt of the competition, Thomas launched a two meter personal best throw to take over the lead from Sidnie Wilder (Cameron, Wisconsin).
"[Going into my last throw] I was thinking either I get it or I go home with nothing," Thomas said. "She threw after me, so I got to see what she did. I knew whatever she put down, that's how it was going to be."
Wilder fouled her last throw, and Thomas walked away with her first Junior Olympic title. Although Thomas has tried her hand at several of the throwing events, she has found her niche in the hammer.
"It's different from discus and shot put cause there's not a lot of movement in shot put or discus, you just got that one turn or glide," she said. "In hammer, you have a chance to fix all that when you get through with your first turn, you can correct it. Its over pretty quick, but you have a chance to get your mind right."
Worley hurdles to victory
Dillon Worley (Northwest Flyers. Houston, TX) defended his 2010 USATF National Junior Olympic title with a victory in the young men's 2,000m steeple chase. Worley cruised to a time of 6:06.36 to better his seed time set at the regional meet.
"My game plan was just to go out and take the lead right from the beginning," Worley said. "I was going for the record, but the weather conditions just didn't help me out."
Worley, who competes for the Northwest Flyers, only started the steeple chase last year.
"My coach really pushed for me to do it, and my brother ran it too, so that's how I got into steeple," he said. "I like it cause it's a hard race not everyone can do."
Other event winners from today's competition include the following:
-Justin Collins, Speed City TC (Carson, CA)-youth boys pentathlon (3,314)
-Ashley Weber (Buena, SIERRA VISTA, AZ) Class: 2012.-young women's hammer throw (48.56m/159-4)

DAY TWO
Goodale sets three PR's to claim heptathlon title
Sarah Goodale bettered her personal best heptathlon score by 200 points on her way to a victory in the intermediate girls' division. On day one, Goodale ran 15.71 in the 100m hurdles, cleared 1.55m/5-1 in the high jump, tossed the shot put 9.44m/30-11.75, and ran a 26.99 in the 200m. She highlighted day two with a mark of 5.06m/16-7.25 in the long jump, a heave of 31.50m/103-4 in the javelin and a time of 2:26.41 to finish the event with an overall score of 4,454.
"I've been training a lot for this meet and had a couple of PR's in a lot of events," Goodale said. "The ones that went better were shot put, javelin and long jump. Those were kind of my weaker events, so I was able to PR in all of those. I ran faster in the 800m and hurdles and the 200m than my last heptathlon, so that went well too."
Goodale, who began track as a hurdler and high jumper, started the multi-events on the suggestion of her coach. After her first pentathlon, she fell in love with the multis.
"I like that you don't have to be great at one thing," she said. "You can kind of just be able to do everything. I really like being able to try all the events and be out there for a long time."
After a long season, Goodale is happy to walk away with the victory.
"I'm really excited," Goodale said. "I worked a lot this summer, and I'm glad it's really paying off."
Chavez strolls to race walk victory
Alejandro Chavez took home the USATF Junior Olympics young men's race walk title with his winning time of 14:05.53. Chavez, who represents South Texas Walking Club, crossed the line more than a minute ahead of the second place finisher.
"It was pretty hot," Chavez said "I was shooting for the national record because last year I missed it by four seconds. I wanted to do it, but I didn't take into account the heat. I started on pace, and then I just died. Most importantly, I finished the race."
When Chavez first started race walking in middle school, he thought it seemed easy. Over the years, he has realized the challenges that the unique event presents.
"The most challenging part is to keep it legal," Chavez said. "I've been disqualified two times before. It's hard because even in the last 100m, if you're not legal they'll automatically disqualify. It doesn't matter what distance you're at."
For Chavez, race walking isn't just about winning titles or medals.
"In fifth grade, I wasn't really good at other sports, and I was headed towards obesity and diabetes," he said. "It's changed me, its changed my life. I've lost weight, have good health and am no longer on my way to diabetes."
Johnson proves best in multi
In the bantam boys' triathlon, Jalen Johnson rode two personal bests on his way to a multi-event victory. Jones opened up with a toss of 8.82m/28-11.25 in the shot put, and followed that performance up with a clearance of 1.30m/4-3.25 in the high jump. In the 400m, Jones clocked the second best time at 1:02.97 on his way to a final score of 983.
"I PR'ed in the shot put and the high jump," Jones said. "My 400m I don't know what happened. It was just really hot."
Jones, who also won the bantam boys' triathlon title last month at the USA Youth Championships, enjoys the diversity of the multi-events.
"I get to try new and different events, and most of the events are easy," he said. "I guess I'm just athletic."
Although Jones has found success in several events, including the long jump which he is seeded first in, it's not all about winning for him
"I just want to keep running because it's fun," Jones said.
Other event winners from today's competition include the following:
-Wolf Mahler-young men's decathlon (6930)
