1952 USC co-captain Frank Flores
July 31, 2013
All-American jumper Frank Flores, co-captain of USC's 1952 NCAA champion track and field team, passed away after a long battle with Parkinson's disease on July 29 at his home in Newport Beach, Calif.
Flores was a key member of three NCAA championship teams for the Trojans from 1950-52. In 1952, Flores took second in the triple jump with a leap of 48-9.25 and fifth in the long jump with a leap of 24-2.25. Flores also placed third in the long jump in 1951 with a mark of 23-10.
Flores graduated from the USC Dental School and practiced in the Southern California area until his retirement. Flores remained a strong supporter of the USC track and field program and was an active member of the Trojan Force.
Funeral services will be held on Tuesday, Aug. 6 at 11 a.m. at St. Joachim Catholic Church in Costa Mesa, Calif.

Standards: Boys’ 5k – 160’, 12# - 150, 6k - 145’, 16# - 140’
Girls’ 3k - 140”, 4k - 120’
Although the 3k hammer (girls) and 5k hammer (boys) throw are not normally contested
in the U.S. it is conducted in some meets at the Youth level. Girls 3k performances
of 140’ and boys’ 5k performances of 160’ or more in an officially sanctioned
meet will be included in the performance list providing the athlete is no older than
17 years old through December 31, 2013 (born no earlier than in 1996).
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Note: There are some incomplete dates for performances. These performances are from
USATF Junior Olympic Association or Regional meets that I was unable to determine the
exact date of the hammer throw competition.
* - Addition or improvement since last update.

Jones Named USATF Athlete of the Week
INDIANAPOLIS — Tia Jones (Marietta, Ga.) has been named USA Track & Field’s Athlete of the Week after winning the 13-14 girls’ 100m and 200m hurdles and setting national and Junior Olympic records in both events at the USATF National Junior Olympic Track & Field Championships on July 28.
Jones who will not turn 13 years old until September 8th, won the 13-14 girls’ 100m hurdles final in 13.53 to establish the record after twice breaking her own record earlier preliminary rounds.
Two hours later, Jones won the 200m hurdles in 25.80, after setting the national and Junior Olympic record in the first round at 25.34. She bettered the standing national and Junior Olympic record in each round she competed.
“My goal for the 200m hurdles was to run in the 25.2-second range,” Jones said. “When I came out of the curve, I stumbled a little bit. But I enjoy the challenge and the uniqueness of running the hurdles.”
Jones picked up her first medal of the Junior Olympics, a silver medal, in the 200m dash on Saturday. She held the fastest wind-legal qualifying time in the event at 24.02.
“I was super excited I did so well,” Jones said of the 200m. “Of course, I wanted to win. I was little tired because I just ran the 200m hurdles.”
Now in its 12th year, USATF’s Athlete of the Week program is designed to recognize outstanding performers at all levels of the sport. USATF names a new honoree each week and features the athlete on www.usatf.org. Selections are based on top performances and results from the previous week.

Kastor, Keflezighi and Hall Among Talent at TD Beach to Beacon 10K
CAPE ELIZABETH, Maine - A trio of top American distance runners - Olympians Deena Kastor, Meb Keflezighi and Ryan Hall - are part of a talented world-class field assembled for the TD Beach to Beacon 10K Road Race on Saturday, Aug. 3 in Cape Elizabeth, Maine.
In addition to the top Americans, the professional field of 30 men and women distance runners for 2013 is comprised of a number of 10K speedsters and top marathoners from around the world, including Olympic medalists, World Champions and record breakers.
Kenyan Stanley Biwott, ranked 3rd in the world, is back to defend his TD Beach to Beacon title, while the women's race is wide open and loaded, with at least three Kenyan women -
Lineth Chepkurui, Joyce Chepkirui and Linet Masai
- capable of breaking the course record 30:59 set by Chepkurui in 2010.
"We have the deepest field of Americans in the 16-year history of the TD Beach to Beacon, but they have their work cut out for them with the high-level international athletes we were able to attract once again," said Larry Barthlow, the elite athlete coordinator for the TD Beach to Beacon (www.beach2beacon.org). "All in all, I like the balance we achieved and the depth. And with the right conditions, we might see three women run a sub 31:00, which would be really amazing."

PITTSBURGH -A prize purse of more than $31,000 has attracted some of the country's top milers to Pittsburgh on Friday, Aug. 9 for the 2nd GNC Live Well Liberty Mile. At least nine sub-4 minute milers will compete for the $4000 champion's prize in this unique, nighttime 1 mile road race.

2013 State of the Sport - Part III: U.S. Race Trends
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. - (July 28, 2013) - Since the mid-1990s, Running USA has documented the sport's historic growth, designated this time period as the Second Running Boom and commented on the reasons why: training programs; family-centered community events; new, fun, cool, hip events and running series;
improved race management; Title IX ripple effect tied to women's growth; technology and access to information via websites and social media.Over the past 20 years, every year, except 2003, set a new high in the number of finishers in U.S. running events, and 2012 continued the upward trend with a record of more than 15.5 million finishers. The snapshot below presents an overview of record-setting year by the numbers.
2012 U.S. Running Snapshot:
Females account for 8.6 million finishers nationwide (a record number) and represent the highest percentage ever reported of 56% of event fields. Males in 2012 also set a new high with more than 6.8 million finishers in U.S. races. Overall, there were 15,534,000 finishers in U.S. running events.
The number of U.S. race finishers has increased 80% since the year 2000, and female representation has increased from only 42% to an all-time high of 56% in 2012.
Total number of U.S. running events reached 26,370, another all-time high.
The half-marathon continues to fuel the growth of the Second Running Boom with an annual increase of 14.9% finishers (1.85 million) and an astounding 60% female participation.
In 2012, the 5K maintained the #1 position of all race distances with 6.2 million finishers (another record number), claiming nearly 40% of all finishers in the U.S., while the half-marathon again held the #2 position with approximately 12% of the finishers, followed by the 10K (9.5%).
Mud runs, obstacle runs and color runs have grown exponentially in the past few years, and it is estimated that approximately 2 million runners participated in these non-traditional, adventure-type races last year.

Masters titles to be contested at .US National Road Racing Championships
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
INDIANAPOLIS - Masters athletes age 40 and over will compete on the same stage as the nation’s top “open” and professional athletes at the inaugural .US National Road Racing Championships on Nov. 17, 2013, in Alexandria, Va.
For the first time, a single race will serve as both a USA Track & Field open national championship and a USATF masters championship.
“We are very pleased to designate the .US National Road Racing Championships as our national championship for masters,” USATF CEO Max Siegel said. “With both the open and masters divisions serving as national championships, the race truly will showcase the full range of top-level racing in this country, while also featuring everyday runners and fitness enthusiasts.”
The .US National Road Racing Championships is a 12-kilometer (12 km) event providing a season-capping finale to the USA Running Circuit (USARC), a series of national-championship races that annually provides nearly $1 million in prize money to American runners. Elite athletes must place in the top-ten at a USARC race to be eligible to compete at the .US National Road Racing Championships. The .US National Road Racing Championships feature $100,000 in prize money, with $20,000 going to the men’s and women’s national champions.
In addition to the elite and masters championships, the event also will prominently feature competitive, recreational, and lifestyle/fitness runners from around the region and the country, with USATF members receiving a $10 discount off the cost of registration. The race lineup includes the Elite Championship 12 km, Masters Championship 12 km, a 12 km open division, 5 km and ½-mile kids’ fun run.
All over-40 runners in the race are eligible for national masters titles, though a slate of world-class U.S. masters athletes will likely take the spotlight.
“This is a tremendous development for our masters competitors,” said USATF Masters Long Distance Running Chair Don Lein. “Our athletes are world-class in their own right and are richly deserving of the national spotlight that this race brings. We look forward to this season-ending race on the cobblestone streets of Alexandria.”
The masters segment of long distance running is a strong and vibrant segment, with more athletes participating each year. According to Running USA, in 2011 more than half of all road race finishers were over the age of 35. USATF’s 2013 calendar includes seven masters championships prior to the .US National Road Race, ranging in distance from one mile to the marathon.
Elite athletes currently qualified for the .US National Road Racing Championships include Olympic medalists Deena Kastor, Meb Keflezighi, Shalane Flanagan and Leo Manzano, as well as Desiree Davila, Shannon Rowbury, Matt Tegenkamp, Abdi Abdirahman and many others.

Make Your Voice Heard: Online The Bowerman Fan Voting Begins Today
LATEST USTFCCCA NEWS
View on the web ... http://bit.ly/18IUSUC
July 29, 2013
NEW ORLEANS – Fans of collegiate track & field will have their voices heard in the next two weeks as online voting for The Bowerman — the nation’s top award for collegiate track & field student-athletes — got underway as of noon ET on Monday, July 29.
VOTE NOW
Voting will take place at TheBowerman.org through Tuesday, August 13, to help narrow the three male and three female finalists down to a men’s and women’s winner who will take home the iconic The Bowerman trophy. The results of the online fan vote will account for one full vote in the overall balloting process.
Voters will choose between women’s finalists Arizona’s Brigetta Barrett, Stanford’s Kori Carter and Clemson’s Brianna Rollins; and men’s finalists Derek Drouin of Indiana, Lawi Lalang of Arizona and Julian Wruck of UCLA. Quick recaps of their seasons can be found below.
When placing votes, fans should only consider performances that occurred from the beginning of the indoor season through the end of the NCAA Division I Outdoor Track & Field Championships. Any performance that occurred during that timeframe — even if it wasn’t a purely collegiate competition — can be counted. Anything before that time (cross country) or after (USA Championships, select Diamond League meetings, etc.) should not factor into the decision.
To further the cause of your favorite finalists, be sure to spread the word on Twitter by following @thebowerman and using the hashtags found in each of the finalists’ biographies below. Encourage your followers to #VoteBarrett, #VoteCarter or #VoteRollins on the women’s side, and to #VoteDrouin, #VoteLalang or #VoteWruck for the men.
Online fan voting started in 2009 with more than 163,000 votes having been cast since, and more than 25,000 votes have been cast each year.
Paper balloting by The Bowerman Advisory Board, past winners, selected media personnel, statisticians, and collegiate administrators, is also underway until later this month. An independent accounting firm will collect, tabulate, and certify final results and will keep the result secret until the envelope is opened in December.
The award, in its fifth year of existence, will be presented in a ceremony at the USTFCCCA Convention on December 18 at the JW Marriott Grande Lakes in Orlando, Fla.
THE BOWERMAN FINALISTS, 2013 WOMEN
Brigetta Barrett, Arizona
High Jump | Wappingers Falls, N.Y.
Season Recap & Full Bio
#VoteBarrett
Barrett claimed the NCAA Division I high jump crown at both the indoor and outdoor championships, placing capstones on a season that saw her go undefeated against collegians in ten competitions en route to a new collegiate record. Her winning jump of 6-6¼ (1.99m) at the Pac-12 Championships broke the previous outdoor collegiate record of 6-6 (1.98m) held by Amy Acuff of UCLA and Kajsa Bergqvist of SMU. She also toppled Acuff’s dual meet record by a centimeter with a leap of 6-4¼ (1.94m) at the Arizona-Arizona State-Northern Arizona tri-meet.
Kori Carter, Stanford
Hurdles | Claremont, Calif.
Season Recap & Full Bio
#VoteCarter
Carter became a hurdling force to be reckoned with not only at the collegiate level but also on the world stage during her 2013 outdoor campaign, winning an NCAA Division I title in the 400 hurdles in a collegiate-record 53.21 and finishing runner-up nationally in the 100 hurdles in 12.79 — both against some of the best competition the world has to offer. She defeated 2012 Olympic finalist Georganne Moline of Arizona — who finished fifth in the 400 hurdles in London — in each of their five meetings, including both rounds of the NCAA Finals.
Brianna Rollins, Clemson
Hurdles | Miami, Fla.
Season Recap & Full Bio
#VoteRollins
Rollins ended her final year at the collegiate ranks the exact same way she started it: with a collegiate record. The Tiger hurdler set the collegiate record in the indoor 60 hurdles in her very first final of the season with a blazing 7.78 and ended her campaign with the 100 hurdles collegiate record outdoors at 12.39 (+1.7m/s) en route to an NCAA Division I title in the event. Her outdoor record came at the expense of the collegiate record of 12.47 (+1.2m/s) she had set two days earlier in the prelims. In total, her season featured five of the ten fastest times in collegiate history in the 60 hurdles; three of the seven fastest 100 hurdles all-conditions time in collegiate history; and an unbeaten streak of 17 races between the two events.
THE BOWERMAN FINALISTS, 2013 MEN
Derek Drouin, Indiana
High Jump | Corunna, Ontario (Canada)
Season Recap & Full Bio
#VoteDrouin
It was a banner year for Drouin — the indoor and outdoor USTFCCCA Indoor and Outdoor National Field Athlete of the Year — as he became the first to sweep both the indoor and outdoor NCAA Division I high jump titles in one academic year since he last did so in 2010. The Canadian won at heights of 7-8 (2.34m) or greater and took cracks at collegiate records at both championships. He finished unbeaten in nine collegiate high jump finals between indoors and outdoors, with his only overall loss coming in a tie with fellow The Bowerman semifinalist and rival Erik Kynard of Kansas State at the Nike Prefontaine Classic Diamond League Meeting, where both posted the No. 2 outdoor mark in collegiate history at 7-8¾ (2.36m).
Lawi Lalang, Arizona
Distance | Eldoret (Kenya)
Season Recap & Full Bio
#VoteLalang
Though Lalang did not compete as frequently as the other Finalists due to the nature of his events, he made every race count with four NCAA Division I individual titles — two indoors and two outdoors — two NCAA DI Indoor Championships records, four all-time collegiate top-10 marks indoors in two different events, and a 2013 collegiate-best at 1500 meters, an event he elected not to run at the NCAA DI Outdoor Championships. He swept both the mile and 3000 meter races at the indoor championships and took both the 5000 and 10,000 meter events at the outdoor championships, joining 2009 The Bowerman winner Galen Rupp of Oregon and Suleiman Nyambui of UTEP in 1982 and ’83 as the only male runners to win four individual NCAA DI distance titles in one academic year.
Julian Wruck, UCLA
Discus | Brisbane, Queensland (Australia)
Season Recap & Full Bio
#VoteWruck
A national contender and 2011 champion in the discus in his days at Texas Tech prior to his transfer to UCLA, junior Julian Wruck had a breakthrough year in a big way in 2013, re-writing the record books en route to his second NCAA title in the discus. He finished the season not only undefeated but nearly untouchable in eight collegiate events in 2013, registering the top 27 throws by any collegian in 2013. He officially owns four of the top 10 throws in collegiate history and is No. 4 all-time at 217-7 (66.32m), and produced an all-time collegiate best 223-7 (68.16m) mark at an exhibition throws meet among four other throws that would have ranked in the all-time collegiate top-10.
WINNER SELECTION PROCESS
The Bowerman Voters will receive ballots listing each of the finalists and must rank them by first, second and third choice. First-place votes will receive three points, second place will notch two, and third will receive one point. The finalist with the highest point total will be declared the winner.

Online voting by the public will constitute one collective vote (ranking of choices will be made by order of total single votes)
Online voting by USTFCCCA members will constitute one collective vote (ranking of choices will be made by order of total single votes)
Paper balloting will conclude in the coming weeks while online voting will begin on Monday, July 29 and will last until Tuesday, August 13. An independent accounting firm will collect, tabulate, and certify final results and will keep the result secret until the envelope is opened in December.

Kenyan Nelson Oyugi wins 41st annual Wharf to Wharf in convincing fashion
“The unknown ones are usually the most dangerous,” said Aptos High alum Brett Gotcher, who, after not competing in last year's event, returned to his usual spot as the Wharf to Wharf's top local finisher. Clocking a career-best 27:30.74 on the six-mile course, which runs between the Santa Cruz to the Capitola wharves, Gotcher placed third overall and was the top American finisher as well.

Jones, Harris Close Out Junior Olympics in Style
7/28/2013
GREENSBORO, N.C. — Tia Jones (Marietta, Ga.) and Sydney Harris (Dacula, Ga.) each won multiple Junior Olympic national titles, while breaking records in their respective age groups to conclude the USATF National Junior Olympic Track & Field Championships on the campus of North Carolina A&T State University Sunday.
The Junior Olympic program is a series of meets progressing from preliminary, association, regional and national meets. Athletes compete in two-year age groups ranging from 8 and under to 18-years-old.

She won the 100m hurdles in 13.53, breaking her own national and Junior Olympic record for the second time this week. Two hours later, Jones won the 200m hurdles in 25.80, where she set the national and Junior Olympic record on Wednesday. She also finished second in the 200m dash on Saturday.

On the boys’ side in the same age group, Anthony Valentine (Ellicott City, Md.) pulled off a three-peat when he placed first in the 7-8 boys’ 400m in 1:05.50.

This is Irby’s fourth championship in a month after winning the 100m dash and 400m dash on the final day of the Youth Outdoor Championships in June.
It was business as usual for the Browne sisters. After both won gold yesterday in the 800m, Mackenzie Browne (Moreno Valley, Calif.) won her second Junior Olympic national championship in the 7-8 girls’ 1500m run in 5:29.81, setting a national and Junior Olympic record in the process. Makayla Browne (Moreno Valley, Calif.) achieved silver in the 9-10 girls’ 1500m final in a time of 5:11.31.
Miles Jones (Oakland, Calif.) could not leave Greensboro with one national and Junior Olympic record, he needed two. After setting the record in the 7-8 boy’s 800m Saturday, he added the 1500m in 5:11.00 to his resume en route to his second national championship.
Two-hundredths of a second decided the 11-12 girls’ 1500m final. Athing Mu (Trenton, N.J.) and Sarah Flynn (New Rochelle, N.Y.) fought for the lead coming down the home stretch. Mu ultimately surged ahead for the win in 4:48.58.
Luke Schuller (Easley, S.C.) secured his second Junior Olympic title in the 7-8 boys’ shot put when his throw sailed 8.90m/29-02.50. Schuller's winning attempt broke the Junior Olympic record by half a meter. His first championship title came on Wednesday in the mini-javelin.
Tairyn Montgomery (Los Angeles, Calif.) won the 15-16 girls’ javelin throw and surpassed the Junior Olympic record when her third attempt flew 47.26m/155-01. Rachel Walker held the previous record at 46.53.
Kendal Drewery (Waldorf, Md.) capped an impressive week with a first-place finish in the girls’ 11-12 80m hurdles final, stopping the clock at 12.67. Earlier this week, Drewery won the pentathlon with 3,118 total points and finished second in the long jump with a best mark of 4.95m/16-03.
In the 17-18 men’s high jump final, Spencer Walden (Carthage, N.C.) and Alex King (Metropolis, Ill.) both had a highest clearance of 2.10m/6-10.75. Walden won the gold medal having fewer misses.
Nolan Van Amen (Port Orchard, Wash.) broke the national and Junior Olympic record in the 13-14 boys’ discus throw when his third attempt traveled 62.48m/205-00 on his way to his second championship of the week. Van Amen’s first title came in the shot put on Wednesday.
Karrington Stewart (Shreveport, La.) stood alone on the top of the podium after she ran 13.31 in the 9-10 girls’ 100m dash. The title is her second in two days, as she also posted the fastest time in the 200m dash.
Brashard Smith (Miami, Fla.) goes back to the sunshine state with two gold medals. He won his first championship yesterday in the 9-10 boys’ 200m dash, before taking the 100m today in 13.02.
De’Andre Sincere (Bremerton, Wash.) bolted down the track in 11.27 seconds winning the 13-14 boys’ 100m dash for his second title of the week. The first title occurred yesterday in the 200m dash.
Two-thousandths of a second decided the 15-16 girls 100m dash, Alfreda Steele (Dade City, Fla.) and Lynna Irby (Indianapolis, Ind.) raced to a photo finish. Steele won in 11.857, with Irby narrowly behind in 11.859.
Mustaq'eem Williams (Triangle, Va.) glided down the track in 10.31 to win the 17-18 men’s 100m dash. Williams is not unfamiliar to winning, as he took the 200m dash in 20.64 seconds yesterday.
Seventy meters separated Sophia Cantine (Sammamish, Wash.) from the rest of the field in the 13-14 girls’ 1500m run, winning in a time of 4:32.48. Cantine’s wire-to-wire win is her first Junior Olympic title.
In three consecutive 4x400m relay finals the national and Junior Olympic records went down. The Los Angeles Jets were first, breaking the 7-8 girls’ record in 4:48.95. Next, Desito Nitro stormed around the track in 4:44.45 in the 7-8 boys’ division. Finally, Track Houston Youth completed the trifecta in a time of 4:17.32 in the 9-10 girls’ division.

2013 State of the Sport - Part III: U.S. Race Trends
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. - (July 28, 2013) - Since the mid-1990s, Running USA has documented the sport's historic growth, designated this time period as the Second Running Boom and commented on the reasons why: training programs; family-centered community events; new, fun, cool, hip events and running series; improved race management; Title IX ripple effect tied to women's growth; technology and access to information via websites and social media.
Over the past 20 years, every year, except 2003, set a new high in the number of finishers in U.S. running events, and 2012 continued the upward trend with a record of more than 15.5 million finishers. The snapshot below presents an overview of record-setting year by the numbers.
2012 U.S. Running Snapshot:
Females account for 8.6 million finishers nationwide (a record number) and represent the highest percentage ever reported of 56% of event fields. Males in 2012 also set a new high with more than 6.8 million finishers in U.S. races. Overall, there were 15,534,000 finishers in U.S. running events.
The number of U.S. race finishers has increased 80% since the year 2000, and female representation has increased from only 42% to an all-time high of 56% in 2012.
Total number of U.S. running events reached 26,370, another all-time high.
The half-marathon continues to fuel the growth of the Second Running Boom with an annual increase of 14.9% finishers (1.85 million) and an astounding 60% female participation.
In 2012, the 5K maintained the #1 position of all race distances with 6.2 million finishers (another record number), claiming nearly 40% of all finishers in the U.S., while the half-marathon again held the #2 position with approximately 12% of the finishers, followed by the 10K (9.5%).
Mud runs, obstacle runs and color runs have grown exponentially in the past few years, and it is estimated that approximately 2 million runners participated in these non-traditional, adventure-type races last year.

Korir, Utura Claim Titles at 2013 Quad-City Times Bix 7
DAVENPORT, Iowa - The
2013 Quad-City Times Bix 7 lived up to its pre-race depth as Leonard Korir of Kenya and Sule Utura of Ethiopia claimed the Men's and Women's Elite titles - their first career starts at the 39th edition event.
Korir covered the seven miles in 32 minutes, 15 seconds to outlast
Silas Kipruto of Kenya by four seconds. Kipruto finished second in his attempt to win an unprecedented third consecutive Bix title. Utura clocked 36:34 to outpace
Buzunesh Deba of Ethiopia by five seconds.
In total, 16 new faces were part of the elite fields on a day when the Bix 7 set a record for lowest temperature as the race time mercury was an unseasonable 58 degrees (F) with a light wind. The chill put the freeze on any record-setting attempts as the participants chose to run tactical races.
Two-time United States Olympian Meb Keflezighi (32:39), returning to Bix to try and win a third title, pushed the early pace. He eventually continued his streak of top five performances in Davenport when he claimed third by surging past Julius Koskei (32:44) of Kenya. Peter Kamais of Kenya was fifth in 33:01.
