c o n t e n t s & P u b l i s h e r ’s N o t e

Joe Henderson, one of our sport’s most prolific and thoughtful writers, once called cross-country the meeting place of marathoners and milers. Cross country courses vary in dis-

tance and challenge. The ones we remember are the tough courses or that perfect day whenthe legs never tire and the finish line comes just at the right time.

In the U.S., cross country is a fall sport. 490,000 high school boys and girls ran crosscountry in 2009. Add to that nearly 100,000 junior college and college athletes, and youhave a sizable number of participants.

I remember walking the Mt. SAC XC Invitational course with the late Doug Speck,amazed at how many races could be done on such tough terrain on such a warm day, andthe hundreds of tents where teams were camped out. I distributed more than 10,000 copiesof Athletes Only in one day, dropping off a bundle of 15 for each team, and I was fascinat-ed with the precision that Mt. SAC coach Doug Todd and his athletes put into making thelargest cross country invitational anywhere.

My favorite cross country course? Well, I loved Crystal Springs in Belmont, Califor-nia, and I still do. I raced there in high school, college and club, and loved the intensity ofthe course and also the cheering by the fans.

But I have never forgotten racing 12K over hill, dusty trail and myriad creek crossingsin Nisene Marks Park, near Santa Cruz, California. The course was challenging and it washot, and as we ran, single file, I remember trying to pass this guy just ahead of me for abouta mile. At one creek crossing, we had an option: We could climb across a fallen tree or justget soaked. I chose getting soaked, and refreshed by the cold, clear water, I charged up thenext hill and passed him. Like most races, the pats on the back after the race, a cold bev-erage and stories like this are what one remembers.

Each end of season, I enjoy going to the NXN or Footlocker events, and seeing howanother generation has embraced our great sport!

Here’s a prediction about USATrack & Field’s near future:No matter who succeeds

Doug Logan—male or female, fromwithin the sport or from the outside—U.S. athletes will continue to win themedals race at the Olympics andworld championships. Meanwhile,conflict will continue between theboard and CEO and among the CEOand the sport’s various constituencies.

Currently the U.S. Olympicmovement appears dysfunctional,which may be inevitable in organiza-tions run by volunteers. The USOCgoes through executives like they’recoaches for a losing NFL franchise.National federations do the samething, though USATF was immune tothat condition for a long time.

Logan lasted just more than twoyears as the successor to Craig Masback,miler turned marketer with a legal andtelevision background, who ran theorganization for 11 years. He helpedorchestrate the overthrow of OllanCassell, who headed track and field forfour decades through three organiza-tional name changes—the AmateurAthletic Union, The Athletics Congress

and USATF. Two leaders in 40-plusyears is stability, though critics com-plained of inbreeding.

When Logan arrived, some hailedhis outsider status—head of MajorLeague Soccer for three years, enter-tainment executive—as an asset. Hewould bring some outside profession-alism to a sport steeped in traditionand politics. It didn’t happen. Healienated too many groups either withhis policies or his perceived abrasive-ness.

By the end, there was hostilitybetween the 15-member board andLogan, who trimmed the size of thegroup under a USOC mandate. Logan,who could earn as much as $2 millionfor the remaining two years on his con-tract, referred to the board as circusclowns to the New York Times. In ainterview with Running Times, he said,“Despite their inflated sense of selves,the board is weak. We reduced thequantity of members without improv-ing the quality. Volunteer committeesstill have too much control over essen-tial elements of the business. And, fortoo many people in the sport, it is moreimportant that they control it rather

than it be good or prosperous.”His successor should stick to fun-

damentals, keep it simple. Get andmaintain sponsors, not so easy in adepressed economy. Then get themoney to athletes, especially to emerg-ing stars who need financial help tobridge the gap between the collegeyears and professionalism. Foster a sys-tem that will develop talent.

Educate coaches. Increase theknowledge of those at the grassrootslevel. Help those at higher levels, espe-cially in technical events such as thethrows and jumps, areas where theU.S. has dominated in the past butnow sometimes struggles.

Get the sport on TV. Keep thepresence of domestic meets. Get theGolden League a U.S. presence so fanscan get to know the sport’s top stars,both U.S. and international.

The U.S. has the largest and mostcomprehensive development programin the world—the school system frommiddle school to high school to col-lege. Support and increase the athletesand coaches who make that possible.

The rest will take care of itself.Good luck to whomever gets the job.

Antonio Pettigrew, an assistant coach at North Carolinaand former world-class 400 runner, was found dead in hiscar Aug. 10 near his home in Apex, NC. Authorities saidthey were unsure whether his death was a suicide or acci-dental overdose of a sleeping medication. An autopsy wasperformed, but toxicology results were not available at presstime.

Pettigrew, 42, a top 400 runner in the 1990s, gainedmore notoriety for his admitted steroid use in the late ’90sthan his running accomplishments, which included a goldmedal in the 400 at the 1991 World Championships.Pettigrew’s drug revelation, which occurred during a 2008trial of his one-time coach Trevor Graham, cost Pettigrewand his teammates gold medals from the 4x400 relay at the2000 Olympics.

UNC kept Pettigrew on staff despite his admissions.Athletic director Dick Baddour, UNC’s athletic director,consulted with faculty, administrators, investigators in theBALCO case and the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency beforemaking his decision to retain Pettigrew. Baddour said hisdecision was also affected by Pettigrew’s remorse, willing-ness to speak out against drugs and cooperation with the

investigation.“I have an obligation and duty to speak out against the

use of banned substances,” Pettigrew said. “I want to play arole in teaching people, especially young athletes, to knowthat the negatives far, far outweigh the benefits these sub-stances may give you.”

Pettigrew, a five-time U.S. 400 champion, who is sur-vived by a wife and son, testified that he had taken drugssuch as EPO and Human Growth Hormone from1997–2001. The admission cost the U.S. a 4x400 worldrecord in ’98 as well as 4x400 world titles in ’97 and ’99.

“Besides being a great athlete, Antonio Pettigrew was afriend and colleague who represented himself, his familyand his community on the international track and fieldstage,” said St. Augustine’s coach George Williams, whocoached Pettigrew to four NCAA Div. II titles in the 400.“He will not only be remembered for his accomplishmentson the track but for the thousands of lives his successimpacted. He was a role model and mentor who will besorely missed. His contributions to the success of SaintAugustine’s College track and field program will never beforgotten.”

Give Tyson Gay credit. He hasn’t let the ascendancy ofUsain Bolt affect his approach to sprinting. Gay keeps righton giving his best, and it paid off in August. It might wellpay off again in December with a No. 1 world ranking fromTrack & Field News.

First, Gay beat Bolt in a 100 in Stockholm, getting outof the blocks first, hanging on and winning in 9.84 to Bolt’s9.97.

“Usain is not in his best shape,” Gay acknowledged.“He and I both know he can run a lot faster. He has had hisproblems with injury and my knee was bothering me. ButI’m happy with the win. He is a legend and it’s very impor-tant to beat him. It means something for the excitement ofthe sport. But I did not beat him running 9.5. I beat himrunning 9.8.”

Bolt’s loss, in his slowest time ever in a 100 final, wasenough for him to end his season due to a sore back. ButGay kept on keeping on. He followed Stockholm with animpressive year-leading 100 of 9.78 on Aug. 15 in Londonagainst a slight headwind during chilly and rainy condi-tions.

“The last few weeks have been really great,” said Gay,who ran 9.79 to win in Brussels after Stockholm. “I wasn’texpecting to go that fast in these conditions but I knew Iwas in good shape and was going to go fast. I think there’smore to come. It’s great to be on top of the world. That’simportant to me. I wasn’t necessarily sending a message toAsafa and Usain, I was just running my own race.”

Bolt’s management issued this statement: “Usain Boltwas examined [Aug. 9] by Dr. Hans Müller-Wohlfahrt inMunich who found a problem in his lower back. He has atightness that restricts his ability to generate power in hisstride, and continuing to race in this condition could riskinjury to his hamstrings or calf muscles. With a view to hisfuture career we believe further treatment to loosen his backfollowed by a period of rest will be in his best interest. Weare delighted to report that the MRI scan on his Achillestendon showed that it has now completely healed.”

Bolt ends his season with bests of 9.82 in the 100, ayear-leading 19.56 in the 200 and a 43.58 4x400 relay leghe recorded in March.

You have to wonder what Bolt might do if he givestraining priority over his night clubbing. “I always said2010 would be an easy season for me, so if anyone is to beatme it would be this season,” Bolt said. “The hard trainingstarts in October. The first Monday of October I will beout there working hard, as there will be the world champi-onships to look forward to.”

You also have to wonder what Gay might do if his sur-gically repaired groin gets back to 100%.

Even though he’s not 100%, Gay thought after hisLondon 9.78 that he could improve his PR of 9.69 set lastyear in Shanghai. “I think so, in those conditions,” Gaysaid. “My start was on point and normally that’s the worstpart of my race. My time in London was a lot more impres-sive than Shanghai, [which] was not technically good.”

Gay Keeps on Rolling

David Oliver looks like the next worldrecordholder in the 110 hurdles. TheHoward University grad (class of ’04)has reached a new level this season,recording the five fastest times of theyear, eight of the top nine and nine ofthe top 12. Oliver has broken 13 sec-onds five times this year, led by his12.89 in July in Paris. That time is0.02 off the world record of 12.87, setby Cuba’s Dayron Robles in 2008(0.02 seconds is about 8 inches).

But the 28-year-old Oliver sayshis first priority is not the worldrecord: “I focus on winning, not run-ning fast times,” he told the Englishnewspaper The Observer. “If you winthe race, you get to do the victory lap.If you told me I could have a worldrecord or Olympic Gold I’d take theOlympic Gold every time.”

He cites former world record-holder Colin Jackson of Britain, whohas slipped to fifth on the all-time listfollowing Oliver’s performances thisyear.

“Now Colin is just the top British[and European] recordholder,” saidOliver. “I wonder if he would haverather won an Olympic Gold medal. Iwonder looking back what he wouldprefer to have now that he’s fifth onthe all-time list. I bet he’d rather takeOlympic Gold. That can never betaken from you.”

Oliver, whose last collegiate trackseason came in 2004, has been some-what of a late bloomer.

He credits some tough early yearsas a pro with helping him developmentally and physically.

In response to questions from theBritish press, he thinks England’sfunding system “promotes medioc-rity” instead of excellence. His earlypro years included having to work ajob at the shoe chain, FinishLine, tomake ends meet.

“I had won the Berlin GoldenLeague [meet]; I’d won some othermeets,” Oliver said. “I was rankednumber six or seven in the world; and

I worked five or six hours a day [in thestore]. I didn’t like that lifestyle, so Ihad to do something to change it.”

He recalls English hurdler AndyTurner asking him: “How come youhave to go to work, you ran 13.2?” “Iwas like: ‘Yeah, I’m an American whoran 13.2, I don’t have no contracts ornothing. They don't pay me for run-ning 13.2.’ I had to go to work tomake money. That’s why Americansalways do better, because we don’treward mediocrity. If I was a Europeanrunning 13.2 they’d probably be try-ing to get me the world or something.As an American you run 13.2 andyou’re just one of a bunch of people.”

After the death of Pettigrew, the sport lost two valuablecontributors in Hal Connolly and Scott Davis, both ofwhom died on Aug. 18.

Connolly, 79, won the hammer throw at the ’56Olympics and is the last American to win Gold in theevent. His courtship of and marriage to fellow Gold medal-ist discus thrower Olga Fikitova was a memorable event inthe Cold War era. They were divorced in 1973. Connollylater married Pat Daniels, a heptathlete/half-miler whobecame a prominent sprint coach. Connolly’s story as anathlete was inspirational. He overcame a deformity in hisleft arm, one that required more than a dozen operations asa child.

His obituary in The New York Times included anexcerpt from his unpublished memoir: “I began to consid-er myself a reject, chained to a small army of twisted bod-ies in the hospital waiting room, and responded by tryingto ignore my crippled associates. I wanted to push myselfinto the ‘normal’ society. I was a handicapped person whoknows the agony of all-out trying and not accomplishing.They didn’t treat the disabled with dignity then. I couldn’tstand to be treated differently.”

Connolly made four Olympic teams and later becamea high school teacher and administrator before working forthe Special Olympics as an executive. He experimentedwith steroids in the 1950s, before the drugs were banned,but didn’t like what they did to his body. His wife, Pat, wasan outspoken opponent of performance-enhancing drugs.

Scott Davis was influential in the sport because of hisroles as an announcer at major international and nationalevents in addition to his work as a tireless statistician.Prefontaine Memorial meet director Tom Jordan calledDavis “the best announcer in the world.”

Davis also may have been one of the best storytellersand loved cracking jokes, some of them X-rated. He died atthe age of 66 at his Cerritos, California home. He hadfought cancer for 13 years and was suffering from multiplemyeloma but died from complications of chemotherapyafter getting sick while announcing at the World JuniorChampionships in Moncton, New Brunswick.

“He was one of my favorite people and I know anawful lot of track and field fans, coaches and athletes feelthe same way,” former UCLA track coach Bob Larsen toldthe Orange County Register.

Passing of an Impressive Pair

• He’s b-a-a-a-a-a-c-k! Alan Webb, who pretty much droppedout of sight after setting an American mile record of3:46.91 in 2007, made his 2010 racing debut in Augustwith an unimpressive 1:52.32 for seventh place in an 800meter race in England Aug. 14. On Aug. 28, he won a 1500meter race in Antwerp, Belgium in a much more impres-sive 3:41.16, and followed 10–15 minutes later by enter-ing the 5000 and running 14:15. Then on Sept. 9th inMilan he ran 3:36.21. Webb moved in 2009 from Reston,Virginia to Portland to train with Alberto Salazar; he under-went Achilles tendon surgery, and missed most of 2009.Salazar is enthusiastic about his new charge, and predictsmore U.S. records in Webb’s future: “He only started speedwork six or seven weeks before. His bottom line speed isgoing to increase exponentially. I believe his form is betterthan when he set the American record.”

• The IAAF has asked the International Olympic Commit-tee to consider cross country running to be included in theprogram for the 2018 Winter Games. The IOC has reject-ed previous similar requests. Rule 6.2 of the Olympic char-ter states that “only those sports which are practiced onsnow and ice are considered as winter sports.” The IOCmight consider the request favorably because the chancefor countries such as Kenya and Ethiopia to win medals atthe Winter Games fits the IOC policy of “universality” orencouraging the maximum number of competitors at theWinter Games. Only 82 nations competed in February’sVancouver Winter Olympics, compared to more than 200in Beijing in 2008.

• Chris Solinsky, who set a new U.S. 10,000 record(26:59.60) May 1 in Palo Alto, California, confirmed his

breakthrough this summer in Europe with three sparkling,competitive 5000 meter efforts. First, on June 4 in Oslo heran a PR 12:56.66, finishing sixth behind Bernard Lagat’sU.S. record 12:54.12. On Aug. 6, in the Stockholm Dia-mond League 5000, Solinsky took fifth in another PR,12:55.53. And on Aug. 19 in Zurich’s famed Weltklassemeet he took third in 12:56.45 behind two Ethiopians.

• Bernard Lagat and Molly Huddle (our cover girl this issue)set U.S. records in August. Lagat ran 7:29.00 in the 3000at Rieti, to break Bob Kennedy’s 7:30.84 record by nearly2 seconds. Huddle finished 10th in a 5000 in Brussels witha time of 14:44.76, edging Shalane Flanagan’s mark of14:44.80.

• Deena Kastor, the 2004 Olympic bronze medalist in themarathon and the U.S. recordholder, withdrew fromNovember’s New York City Marathon after learning shewas pregnant. “I am especially grateful to have felt fantas-tic except for feeling a bit sluggish in workouts and tiredduring the day,” said Kastor, expecting her first child withhusband Andrew Kastor. “As soon as we heard the news, Istopped hard workouts. I am running easy days with myMammoth Track Club teammates, but have chosen toforego any hard efforts in order that every bit of my ener-gy goes into making sure the baby will be healthy andstrong. I don’t look pregnant yet, but I hear it seems to hap-pen overnight.”

• First fruits of Doug Logan's dismissal? it's reported that the2012 Olympic Trials in Eugene will follow the same suc-cessful format as the 2008 Trials.

Special Athletes, Special Events

If you’ve ever watched any “special”track event—from SpecialOlympics to the Wheelchair 800

at the Olympic Games—you knowthat the joy of competition and win-ning are just as exciting for the athletesas any “normal” competitor.

These days, we’re seeing anincreasing number of track and fieldevents for handicapped athletes. Highschool athletic associations are report-ing an increase in requests for accom-modations for students with mobilitylimitations. Assistant director BeckyOakes of the National Federation ofState High School Associations reportsthat several states—includingMinnesota, Georgia, Alabama, Iowaand Washington—currently offer adap-tive, wheelchair events within theirstate track and field championships.

And in other states, increasingly,local high school and college tracks arebeing requested—or drafted—to serveas venues for special competitions.

Fortunately, adapting most facili-ties to meet the needs of special ath-letes doesn’t have to mean drasticchanges. Designers of athletic facili-ties, sports contractors and materialsuppliers have all worked with individ-ual high schools and with state associ-ations to help break down barriers and

make athletic programs available to all.Changes, large and small, can beimplemented now.

It might be things we as able-bod-ied folks wouldn’t even notice, like agate that’s a bit too narrow to get awheelchair through. Changing a few

simple things like that can turn a facil-ity from being merely usable into anarena that allows the athlete to relaxand use his or her skills.

According to industry insiders, itall starts with attempting to under-stand the needs of the kids and—in ahuge part—to understanding howmuch that need is growing. And whilethe Americans with Disabilities Act(ADA) certainly plays a part in thedesign of many facilities, its work canonly do so much to include athleteswith physical challenges. Some ExamplesSchools with wheelchair racing pro-grams tend to offer at least one throw-ing event—shot put, javelin, etc. Theathletes are referred to as “seatedthrowers.” Wheelchairs are generallysecured to the ground or to an immo-bile object for the throwing events. According to Gary Phillips, assistantexecutive director at the Georgia HighSchool Association, GHSA partnered

with the American Association ofAdapted Sports Programs, whichhelped identify and develop programsthat would serve athletes with disabili-ties. At present, says Phillips, athletesin wheelchairs compete in their owndivision in three track and field events,the 200m, 800m and the shot put.

“We thought some kids might bebetter suited for short races, and somefor long races,” said Phillips, “and wewanted the shot as a throwing event.We divide the shot into two divisionsbased on the student’s handicap.”

The state of Washington offersnot only track and field programs, butalso cross country, for athletes inwheelchairs, according to Teresa Fisherof the Washington InterscholasticActivities Association.

One state working to grow itsprograms is Maryland, according toNed Sparks, executive director of theMaryland Public Secondary SchoolsAthletic Association.

“All our school systems arerequired to have accommodations forstudents with disabilities, and manyare going to have a track and fieldcomponent,” notes Sparks. “I wouldthink that, yes, it is one of those thingsthat is going to be there in the future,and also that it’s going to be one ofthose things that is just offered auto-matically, rather than having to havestudents ask for it.”

One of Maryland’s high schooltrack and field athletes went on tomedal at the Paralympics. Sparks notesthat, although Maryland has been oneof the first states to allow athletes inwheelchairs to share the track withtheir able-bodied counterparts, “Idon’t think we’re going to be the last.”

The National Federation for StateHigh School Associations’ 2008–09High School Athletics ParticipationSurvey shows that responding schoolsoffered adapted sports programs inbasketball, bowling, floor hockey, soc-cer, softball and track. These are farfrom the only programs open, howev-er. The U.S. Tennis Association pro-motes wheelchair tennis on a grass-

ATF_XC yearbook10:ATF_XC 09 9/26/10 8:27 PM Page 10

roots level, and many local parks andrecreation departments offer adaptedsports programs, including golf andbocce. Other schools have offered spe-cial programs in skiing, baseball andmore. Swimming has long been a sportthat has attracted individuals withmobility impairments. It’s all a matterof student interest and willingness toadapt programs to their specific needs.

On the TrackPerhaps the first thing to address ismaking sure that athletes with specialneeds can get to a track. Gates used byathletes should have at least a 48"opening, which allows athletic wheel-chairs (those whose wheels have a cam-ber, or slant) to pass through. The lastthing an athlete wants to do is get outof his or her chair and have someonepass it over the gate while he or she“scoots” along the ground through theopening.

While high-level professional ath-letes can afford to be choosy about thesurfaces they use, high schoolers gener-ally don’t have that option, and thatgoes for athletes using wheelchairs, aswell as the runners. Sparks saysMaryland hasn’t researched the sur-face/wheelchair tire interaction (thesport is still in the developmentalstages at most high schools), but haz-ards a guess that “maybe the harder thesurface, the better.”

According to Jim Stalford ofMondo USA (Tega Cay, SouthCarolina), “Wheelchair track racersprefer the consistency of a vulcanizedrubber surface. This allows them tohave some traction on all areas of thesurface and to minimize how far thewheels penetrate the surface, enablingthem to push faster with less energy.”

Other tips for those designing orsetting up facilities for athletes inwheelchairs? Adequate warm-up areas.“These are hard to accommodate,”Stalford notes. “It is best if there is alarge open parking lot, road or warm-up track near the competition track forathletes to warm up. The warm-up areaalso needs a safe and easy way pathwayfor the athletes to get to the competi-tion area.”

Other ConsiderationsThen there are the aspects of competi-tion that many people don’t even knowabout, according to Matt Hale ofHalecon in Bridgewater, New Jersey.Having these, he notes, can mean allthe difference between a facility that’snot just accessible but welcoming.

“Something I believe is critical, yetoften missed, is adequate shade fortemperature control,” Hale notes.“Many individuals with spinal cord orbrain injuries are extremely sensitive totemperature, particularly to heat. Somecan have life-threatening heat reactions

which can occur with little warning.Plan as much shade as possible. Iwould just stress that surface thatthrows off heat should be avoided. Themore shade, the better.”

Plan for athletes’ needs both onand off the track or playing field, headds. Of course, having water sourcesat or near the facility is a must, but soare some other things. “If possible, acool-down area would be helpful, pos-sibly an enclosed space attached to abathroom facility, air-conditioned,with electric outlets and water. Thisspace could not only provide emer-gency cooling, but also a private areafor suctioning. Many people with highspinal cord injuries have difficultybreathing, and often use ventilators forassistance. At times, the airway can getblocked with secretions, thus creatingan urgent need for suction. Proper suc-tion would require a source for waterand electric.”

Other types of disabilities can alsobe accommodated, Stalford adds, withthe right facilities. “Visually impairedrunners prefer a high contrast track. Asolid-colored red or black track withwhite lines is best. Blind long andtriple jumpers have difficulty withraised runways. It’s best to have therunway even with the surroundingground and plenty of room at the endof the sand box (no light poles, gutters,etc.). The sand should be even with the

t r a c k c o n s t r u c t i o n

ATF_XC yearbook10:ATF_XC 09 9/26/10 8:27 PM Page 11

end of the box so that they can easilyrun through the back and not trip onthe box or run into anything whenthey do run-throughs.”

Legal IssuesADA legislation was an enormoushelp to individuals with physical chal-lenges, but it’s far from the end of theroad. New laws are being enacted allthe time. One that has the potential toimpact all athletic programs in schoolsacross the state of Maryland, says NedSparks, and which will take full effectin 2011, is the Fitness and AthleticEquity Law for Students withDisabilities. In short, it ensures thatstudents with disabilities are providedequal opportunities to participate inphysical education programs, and ath-letic activities in Maryland schools.The Maryland Dept. of Disabilitiesand the Maryland State Dept. ofEducation will work with local schooljurisdictions to improve policies andimplement the new statute andimprovements to adaptive physicaleducation and interscholastic athleticparticipation.

While Sparks understands thenecessity of accommodating all ath-letes, and believes that all studentsshould be able to participate in athlet-

ics if they can, he also recognizes thedifficulties that lie ahead for schoolsand athletic programs.

“This is a heck of a budget time,and to be mandating/adding sports ata time when a lot of cuts are beingmade—that’s difficult. It’s difficult tolaunch new programs when you’re try-ing to fight to keep the old ones.”

Other states, which are not man-dating as many new measures, find iteasier to accommodate students withphysical challenges. For DavidAnderson, assistant executive directorwith the Iowa High School AthleticAssociation, “the only possible finan-cial challenge is transportation.”

When working to make accom-modations for athletes with disabili-ties, remember that events may beginto draw spectators who have mobilitylimitations, as well. Adjust seating sothat someone in a wheelchair is able tohave good sightlines—and to haveadequate seating around them fortheir friends, either able-bodied ornot. No spectator should be made tofeel they have to sit in an area isolatedfrom the rest of the crowd.

Summing UpWhile there have been challenges,Gary Phillips found that he was pleas-

antly surprised by the Georgia public’sreaction to the wheelchair division ofraces.

“The first time [we had a track inwhich athletes in wheelchairs compet-ed], I had anxiety, anticipation—I waswondering, ‘How will the fans react?’We ran the 200 and the fans werecheering for the kids. They were great.Even when there’s a big distancebetween the kid who wins and the onewho comes in last, the spectators stayedright there and cheered for everyone.We were able to ask all the kids in therace, ‘Did you hear them cheering foryou?’ and they all said, ‘Yes, sir, I heardthat!’ They were very happy.”

Of course your runners don’treally, literally, run with oneleg. But if you look at it from

another angle, in a sense, they do.Think about it: All the real work

of running is done with the leg that’stouching the ground. That’s where therunner’s body bears the shock of thefoot strike and then expends almost allthe energy that goes into forwardpropulsion. The other leg? It’s justrecovering and getting ready for itsturn to do the running.

So, in a sense, we all run on oneleg—one leg at a time.

As a coach, you do everything inyour power to increase your runners’performance through aerobic andanaerobic development. But what canbe done to prepare for the moment ofsingle support in running stride thatdictates so much in terms of the energyabsorption and output of the athlete?

Athletes in the field events breaktheir events down into individualparts and do specific workouts andexercises to improve their execution ofeach specific part. Then they put theparts together to produce an improvedtechnique.

In the same way, your runnerscan isolate the most important part oftheir technique and improve it.

To do so, here’s a simple, buteffective, strength and stability exer-cise to help your runners (1) managethe force of impact, (2) stabilize dur-ing deceleration and (3) increase

power output. It’s designed to buildawareness, strength and stability. It’s asingle-leg squat.1. Start by standing about a foot in

front of a workout bench on oneleg. Hold a 5-lb. dumbbell in eachhand. Stabilize by pulling the scapu-lae low down the back and by firm-ing the abdominal muscles.

2. The movement begins by sitting thehips back to touch the bench andraising the arms from the waist for-ward in front of the chest. As thehips drop back and down, theunused leg pushes forward to helpwith balance.

3. After touching—but not sittingon—the bench, push into theground and rise back to the startingposition as the arms drop back tothe body.

Here are some points to rememberwhile performing this movement:• The foot remains flat on the

ground. Don’t push onto the toe.• The first movement is the hips

dropping back and down. This iswhy we are a foot away from thebench. The weights in the risinghands act as a counterweight in thismovement to keep balance. Mostpeople bend and push the knee for-ward first. Don’t do this.

• As the arms rise in front of thebody, work hard to keep the scapu-lae low and the back flat from hipsto head. If the lower back begins toround, this indicates the stabilizersof the torso aren’t yet strong oractive enough to perform the exer-cise at full depth. Add height to thebench to create a smaller move-ment. As the body grows strongerand more stable, lower the heightuntil you’re able to perform theexercise properly at the depth of thebench.

• Control the speed. We want slow,controlled movement. Don’t smack

the bench hard or “rebound” out ofthe bottom of the movement.

• Don’t sit on the bench.• As the body rises, concentrate on

keeping the scapulae and shoulderslow. Don’t “shrug” the shoulders tohelp the body rise.

• Don’t put the off-leg on the ground—even when resting at the top of themovement between repetitions.

• Keep the hips and shoulders level.Don’t tilt either to the side.

Once proper form and full depth havebeen mastered, weight vests can beadded for extra resistance. Integratethis movement at the start of your reg-ular strength routine to wake up thenervous system and activate the stabi-lizers. Perform three sets of 12–15 rep-etitions (with each leg) during the off-season and early season to develop astrength and stability base. During themost competitive parts of the seasonwe want to mostly use the movementas a nervous system educator. Duringthis time, limit it to 2–3 sets of 8 rep-etitions for each leg.

As with any exercise, attention todetail determines the effectiveness ofthis movement. As a runner stabilizesthe body for single-leg strength move-ments, they’re preparing for thosemoments during a race when they’rerunning with one leg. Every bit ofstrength and stability on foot strikecreates more efficiency. Work hard,teach your body and run faster.

way to think about runners run faster

Start with left foot flat and right leg raised. Drop the hips, raise arms for balance.

Just-barely-touch the bench. Rise back to starting position.

Whether we like it or not, injuries are animportant part of track and field—espe-cially, it would seem, for the most talent-

ed middle- and long-distance runners. In fact, of the79 elite runners I interviewed for my new book,Coming Back Strong, only three reported that theyhad never suffered an injury important enough toaffect their performance.

Injuries happen because runners—and theircoaches—tend to push the runners’ bodies toextremes, up to, and then over the “fine line” thatdivides healthy from hurt. Too many miles, too muchintensity, too many repeats too close together—andsomething gives way. The intentions are noble, butthe results can be disastrous.

Who’s to blame? Nobody, unless striving forexcellence is to be considered bad. Runners try toohard because they want to be better runners. Coachesgo for one more repetition because they can see thatlast repetition as the difference between a winner andan also-ran.

Alberto Salazar, who has seen injuries close-upboth as a champion runner and a coach of championrunners, argues that you have to get really close to thefine line to excel.

“Remember,” he says, “you’re running against alot of other people who are flirting with that fine line,too.” And although he acknowledges that some ofthose others will fall victim to injury, he adds, “Noteveryone’s going to be unlucky. Some will get veryclose to it and not get injured and that’s who you’veultimately got to compete against.”

Salazar admits that some coaches feel you shouldnever let a runner get too close to that fine line.“But,” he responds, “unless you’re so superior toeverybody else that you don’t need to go near yourlimits to beat them, you do, out of necessity, have togo near that line.”

What do you do? Coaches and athletes all agreethat the first thing to do when an athlete feels pain ordiscomfort while training is stop. Even if the pain ishardly noticeable, stop. To put it simply, “playingthrough the pain” is just plain stupid. For a runner,playing through the pain is an excellent way to turn aminor injury into a major injury.

If the pain disappears, the athlete can start theexercise carefully and gradually work up to the previ-

ous intensity. If the pain or discomfort returns, thatfinishes the exercise, and the next step is to see atrainer or a doctor. Says Salazar, “Even when it’s justa soreness that the runner feels, I believe you have toimmediately get on it.”

Once an injury is diagnosed, of course, a plan ofrest, of alternate training methods or, perhaps, a reha-bilitation program can be put together. Making theplan is not usually very difficult, but making it workoften is.

Coaches and athletes agree that the key to recov-ering from an injury and getting back into hard train-ing is p-a-t-i-e-n-c-e. Whether or not the athlete hasalready been doing some kind of cross training,swimming, riding a bike, working on ellipticals, poolrunning, etc., are excellent ways to maintain optimalfitness. And a specially designed rehab program isoften required on the road back to fulltime runningtraining.

But none of these are running. Progress is oftenslow, and runners can get discouraged. Speaking ofhis days as a 13:49 5000 meter runner,Wisconsin–Parkside coach Micah VanDenend says,“There is eventually a breaking point, where you feelfed up and feel you can no longer continue.”

This, I feel, is one of the real challenges a coachfaces. In the next issue of AT&F, we’ll talk about thelong road to recovery, the problems of rehab and howrehabbing can help an athlete can come back—notjust strong, but stronger than ever.

Don Kopriva’s new book, Coming Back Strong is basedon extensive interviews with many of America’s top dis-tance runners and coaches, covering their experienceswith injuries and how they came back from those injurieseven stronger and faster than before. Since almost everyrunner who races over 800 meters and up encounterssome kind of injury—and certainly everyone who coach-es runners deals with a constant parade of injured ath-letes—Don’s book is indeed one that everyone in the run-ning business will want to own. When issued Nov. 1,Coming Back Strong will have a cover price of $29.95(including shipping). There is a discount for pre-publica-tion orders, which will be $24.95 (including shipping).To order, send a check to RightOn Communications, POBox 3830, Lisle, IL 60532.

In the men's race, Liberty junior Sam Chelanga, 2nd to Galen Rupp a yearago, ran away from the field early and won going away in a blazing 28:41.3.It's always difficult to compare cross country times from different courses,but Chelanga's winning time is the fastest since the great Henry Rono ran28:19.6 thirty years ago in 1979.

Oklahoma State (127), despite getting a 97th-place finish from German Fer-nandez, won the men's team title over Oregon (143), which rebounded froma 3rd-place finish at the West Regional, Alabama (173) and Northern Arizona(190). Favored Stanford (354) finished a disappointing 10th.

2008 Olympian Jenny Barringer, who had finished 2nd to Sally Kipyego atthis meet in 2006 and 2007 (redshirt in 2008), passed up a potentially lucra-tive professional contract to pursue her goal of winning an individual x-coun-try title. She was a heavy favorite coming into this year's race, but was fac-ing an equally hungry Susan Kuijken of Florida State (2nd-2008, 3rd-2007).

The two were battling each other through the first half of the race when Bar-ringer suddenly broke stride and seemed ready to stop running. She contin-ued, but kept falling further away from Kuijken.

Still struggling as other runners went by her, Barringer did come to a stopand collapsed to the ground. Perhaps thinking about her team, she got upand actually finished well, passing a couple of dozen runners in the last 100meters, but she only finished 163rd.

Meanwhile, it looked like Kuijken (19:57.7) was well on her way to winningher first x-country title, but she ran into her own problems, fading to 3rd inthe last quarter-mile as she was passed by Illinois' Angela Bizzarri, the 2009NCAA outdoor champion at 5000 meters, who went on to win in 19:46.8, andWashington's Kendra Schaff, who finished 2nd in 19:51.6.

Kuijken's 3rd-place finish did help Florida State (133) finish 2nd in the teambattle behind Villanova (86), which won its 8th title (a record) and its firstsince 1998. Defending champion Washington (188) finished 3rd, followedby Texas Tech (191).

Florida State coach Karen Harvey on Kuijken’s race: "Susan ran with com-plete heart. She ran out of oxygen. We have been dealing with an issue allyear long with her rib and the doctors and trainers did everything they couldto help her. She followed her race plan, but she was just in too much pain.That is a lot of heart to go out there and just know you have this kink in yourarmor, but she didn't care. That's the type of leader that helped this team get2nd."

Said Barringer, “I definitely remember [Kuijken] on my shoulder and then allof a sudden going light-headed and thinking, ‘I don’t know how to run any-more.’ I just lost my head and didn’t feel good and then next thing I knew Iwas on the ground thinking, ‘Is this really happening to me? Is this a race?’I think I was just a little delirious. I found my way through though, and Iremember thinking that I was going to score for the team. That is what I camehere to do. I tried to fight to keep my mind awake and fight for the best placethat I could. I really believe that my character spoke today by finishing.”

Despite not having the result that everyone expected, CU coach Mark Wet-

more was proud of Barringer and all that she has accomplished while at Col-orado.

“She’s had a lot of great races for us and was probably bound to have onenot so great one,” Wetmore said. “There was a lot of pressure over the last6 months and I was trying to make sure we didn’t give away too many ofthose pieces, but maybe we did.”

Sweep for Adams State3rd Win for Jessica Pixler

As expected, Adams State successfully defended its men’s title, beating long-time rival Western State, 23–86 (Adams and Western have now each wonseven men’s titles). What wasn’t expected was the Grizzlies’ women’s team,which was ranked 4th in the final coaches’ poll, winning its 7th consecutivecrown! As Grizzlies coach Damon Martin said after the sweep, "Never under-estimate the heart of a champion!"

Grand Valley State was one of the favorites in the women’s race, but had tosettle for 2nd place (only 8 points out of first) after its #1 runner, Megan Mac-eratini, who finished 17th in 2008, finished near the back of the field in 175thplace.

Said GV coach Jerry Baltes after finishing 2nd to Adams State for the 3rdtime in the last 5 years, “Yes, it is disappointing for our kids ... [We] just gotbeat by a team that knows how to get it done when it counts. Hopefully oneday we will be able to figure it out and upend them. At the end of the day, weall want to win but if national runnerup is the bad part of our day/year/lifethen we have it pretty good. We will get it done some day ... it is just goingto take a bit longer than we had hoped.”

The Adams State women were led by the 9th-place finish of freshman AliciaNelson.

Seattle Pacific’s Jessica Pixler became the first female 3-time individual cham-pion in the 29-year history of Div.II competition. After winning the indoor mileand outdoor 1500 during the 2010 track season, Pixler wound up with a totalof 12 NCAA titles!

2010 Shippensburg sophomore Neely Spence, 2nd a year ago, was right withthe hard-charging Pixler at the half-way mark, but soon lost touch and even-tually faded to 43rd place. Steve Spence, her coach (and dad), said in a Flo-track video, "We're still trying to figure out what happened today,"http://tinyurl.com/yj47dww.

Winner of the men’s race was Adams State senior Reuben Mwei, who was4th in 2007, but missed last year’s Nationals due to a chest injury.

Div.II fans are famous for their enthusiasm when it comes to the Nationals,as evidenced by this Flotrack video: http://tinyurl.com/ygj6xhh.

North Central lived up to its pre-meet role as favorite by winning the men’steam title with the greatest margin of victory in Div.III history, beating run-nerup Williams by 131 points (50–181). The win increased North Central’srecord number of titles, all won under the leadership of coach Al Carius, to13. Carius was a 2-time Big-10 champion while competing for Illinois.

Peter Kosgei, the defending champion, was leading with 600 meters to gowhen he was passed by Lynchburg’s Ricky Flynn, who went on to win in25:09.8. Kosgei shockingly faded all the way to 43rd place, leading some cyn-ics to suggest that he had given up when he saw that he couldn’t win. Hamil-ton coach offered this explanation for Kosgei’s performance: “Unfortunate-ly, Peter woke up with the flu. He had not felt well on the trip out, but hiscondition worsened on Friday evening. Our campus has been battling both

the swine and regular flu and he caught an unlucky break.

“Peter has the heart of a champion and chose to run and defend his title wheremany would have not run at all. I can assure you he did not give up. He stat-ed that with about a half-mile to go his legs just would not go any faster andhis head was pounding. He spent the next 45 minutes in the medical tent withthe doctor for he was too weak to stand. While we would have loved for himto pull it off, we are proud of his efforts and he will come back from thisstronger than before.”

While the men’s race was a runaway, the women’s outcome was anythingbut. St. Lawrence, with individual winner Wendy Pavlus paving the way, ledWisconsin-Eau Claire 48–99 through four scorers, but, as every x-countrycoach knows, you’re often only as good as your 5th runner. Eau-Claire com-pleted its scoring when Jenna Smith crossed the finish line in 109th place(72nd team) to give the team a total of 171 points, then had to endure anagonizing wait for St. Lawrence’s fifth scorer to finish.

Dozens of runners went by before Jackie Lemme finished in 181st place (132team) to give St. Lawrence, which was ranked #6 in the final coaches’ poll,180 points, 9 shy of Eau Claire’s total.

It was the first National title for Eau Claire, whose 171 points is the second-highest winning total since Div.III held its first championship in 1981. OnyMiddlebury’s winning score of 179 points from last year is higher.

The race for the women’s title provided the closest finish in NAIA history(women), with Cal. State-San Marcos beating runnerup Biola by only 3 points,137–140. (The 137 total is the second-highest winning score ever). Pre-racefavorite Azusa Pacific finished 5th in the challenging conditions.

It was the first national title for CSSM and head coach Steve Scott, who saidafter the race, "It was quite a shock. You know that anything can happen,especially in these conditions. Before the race, I told the team that this wouldbe the hardest race they'll ever run.” Scott’s team was led by senior DallonWilliams, who finished 7th for the second year in a row.

As Scott was standing by the finish line at the end of the race, he was read-ing off the finishes of different teams to his assistant coach. When they totaledup their own score, veteran observer Jack Pfeifer, who was helping themidentify runners as they came in, said, “You might have won!”

Pfeifer said later, “[Scott] looked dazed. We didn’t have the official scoresyet, and it was going to be close, but I asked him where this would stand, ifhis team won, in his pantheon of track history. He said, ‘Well, it would be thebiggest thing ... in my whole life!’ This from a man who had a Hall of Famecareer as one of the greatest milers in U.S. history! The emotional Scott thenran off to join his team and the eventual celebration when they were official-ly declared the winners.”

Not so close in the men’s race, as Malone beat 2nd-place Concordia (NE) by122 points (44–166). It was the third title in a row for Jack Hazen’s Pioneers,who got a 3–5 finish from juniors Aaron Melhorn and James Zeuch. South-ern Oregon, ranked #1 in the final coaches’ poll, finished 3rd with 188 points.

Shorter junior Justyna Mudy (17:30), 3rd in 2008, won the women’s raceover Azusa Pacific junior Jackie Kipwambok (17:51) and Lindenwood sen-ior Francine Nzilampa (17:56), who were 2nd and 8th, respectively, at lastyear’s championships. Mudy is the reigning NAIA steeplechase champion.

It was a tight battle for the men’s individual crown, with Oklahoma Christiansophomore Silas Kisorio (28th in 2008) edging McKendree freshman Carl-son Kemei for the win (24:23-24;24). Kisorio won the 800 meters at the NAIAOutdoor Championships this past May.

Sixth Straight for Delhi (M)First For Ocean County (W)Canandaigua, New York, Nov. 7, 2009

RESULTS: www.pcrtiming.com/2009.html#anchor_njcaa

DELHI: http://tinyurl.com/6gyvcj

Mike Burke, 2nd last year to teammate Chris Mason (now at Middle Ten-nessee), moved up a spot to become National Champion and led SUNY-Delhito its sixth straight JUCO Div.III men’s team title.

Given the quick turnover in a 2-year program, that’s an impressive streak forhead coach Justin Wood and assistant Bob Backus.

The women’s title was won by an all-frosh team from Ocean County (NJ),which hadn’t competed in x-country since 1995. Leading the way for the Jer-sey Shore team was individual winner Jen Nelson.

Said OC’s first-year coach Ed Baynes, “We lucked out to have such a greatcore of girls right off the bat.”

Dathan Ritzenhein waited until late in the race before pulling away from earlyleaders Patrick Smyth and Scott Bauhs to win his third U.S. title.

Shalane Flanagan led from the gun as she won her fourth title by almost aminute over Molly Huddle.

Junior titles were won by Providence freshman Shelby Greany and Portlandfreshman Trevor Dunbar, who fought off a battle with strep throat to win themen’s race.

Said Flanagan about the race and the upcoming World Championships inPoland, “I planned to run conservative for the first lap, within myself, andthen run a hard 6K and whoever was with me was with me. I was just goingto run my own race. I just visualized that last lap being in a lot of pain inPoland and having to dig deep and run against the best in the world. I'malways trying to mentally prepare myself for the next step so I just practicesome of that mental toughness that you’ll have to exhibit [at the Worlds].”

A lingering foot problem would force Ritzenhein to miss out on the WorldChampionships in Poland (see above link).

Everyone in attendance probably now knows the Kenyan National Anthemby heart, since it was played 8 times during the 3 hours of competition!

Kenya did what no other country had ever done before in the history of thesechampionships—win all of the individual and team titles!

With 6-time long-course winner Kenenisa Bekele out with an injury, JosephEbuya won the senior men’s race to lead Kenya to a lopsided team win overEritrea (20-46).

Emily Chebet edged teammate Linet Masai in the senior women’s race asKenya beat Ethiopia for the team title (14–22).

With Shalane Flanagan leading the way with her 12th-place finish, the U.S.women ended a 7-year drought by winning the Bronze medals. The otherscorers for the U.S. were Molly Huddle (19th), Magdalena Lewy-Boulet (20th)and Amy Hastings (25th).

Kenya’s dominance was evident in the junior races as they swept the top fourindividual places in each to pick up a pair of perfect 10-point scores.

On a rainy day that was very un-San Diego-like, senior Megan Geothals andsophomore Lukas Verzbicas emerged as the 2009 Foot Locker Champions.

The girls race came down to a battle between the top two returnees from lastyear. Junior Chelsey Sveinsson, 4th in 2008, appeared to have the race inhand with less than 100 meters to go (the PA announcer just about anoint-ed her the winner at this point), but Goethals (3rd-2008) unleashed a potentkick to snatch the victory from Sveinsson, who went sprawling to the groundas she vainly tried to hold on for the win. It was the closest girls finish in the31-year history of the event (17:06.9–17:07.1).

No such drama in the boys race as Verzbicas, looking over his shoulder oftenduring the race, ran away from the field in the final mile to win easily in15:07.8. Verzbicas, who turns 17 in early January, became the first sopho-more to win the boys race and gave the Midwest a sweep of the individualtitles.

Craig Lutz, winner at last week’s Nike Cross Nationals, challenged Verzbicasearly, but eventually faded to 4th.

Performance—iii • Neutral—iv • Motion Stabilizing—v

Each season, the overall direction of the footwear industry is revealed in trends. For more than four years,we’ve reported that companies have been lightening up many of their shoes and this continues. The growing

influence of minimalism and “barefoot” running, in conjunction with improved technologies and formulationsof components and refined design, has resulted in more shoes with less structure, lighter weight, and fewermotion-controlling features. Our racing shoe reviews have always looked at shoes that feature the least amountof support, weight, or inhibiting features, but this trend extends deeper than ever into the training shoe catego-ry. A number of high-mileage shoes have also benefitted from this trend, slimming down without compromis-ing their protective cushioning. And there is a shrinking but significant offering of heavier models that cater torunners who need extra cushioning or even more significant structure to counteract overpronation.

Geometry is another significant trend in the design of running shoes. Attention is being focused on more criti-cal midsole shaping, the flare (depth and shape) of flex grooves, the size and positioning of crashpads, and theratio between heel and forefoot heights. Along with these considerations, designers and development teams arecarefully considering the material of each of these elements, appraising their rebound and dampening effects,in addition to their durability and comfort. The results of this focus on geometry can be seen in two types ofofferings: highly engineered models and spare, simplified designs.

These two trends are refining the way that running shoes perform when you take them out on a run, making iteasier than ever to find a shoe perfectly suited to your biomechanical and situational needs.

In the spring of 1991, it was my great good fortune to meet Emil Zatopek, winner of three Goldsat the 1952 Olympics (5000m, 10,000m, marathon) and two medals in 1948 (Gold in the10,000m and Silver in the 5000m). I was in awe.

After Emil served as our honorary assistant coach at the Ed Adams Invitational in Salinas, mycoaching partner Joe Mangan and I drove him to Carmel, California so he could see the beau-ty of Big Sur. During the drive, there was a twinkle in his eyes as he told us about his friendlyrivalry with Alain Mimoun, who finished second to him in numerous European and Olympicchampionships. It wasn’t until 1956, when Emil had injured himself training for the marathon,that Mimoun was victorious over Emil, and then he waited at the finish line as Zatopek finishedan honorable sixth place.

When I asked Emil how he got started running, he told me that he had needed a new pair ofboots and that was the prize for winning a local 5K race. So in the cold winter of 1944, Zatopekran his first race, won, and was given a new pair of boots—a necessary item in the cold, snowywinter in occupied Czechoslovakia.

The right footwear is a necessary item for all runners, no matter what their level. At theRunning Network LLC, we’re committed to making that search easier for you with this 2010Fall Shoe Review. You don’t have to win a race to get a great shoe—you simply need to visityour local running specialty store and try on a variety of shoes until you find the perfect onefor you. Best wishes!

Running Network 2010 Fall Shoe Review

adidas adiZero Boston $100

To runners, “Boston” means the Boston Marathon; the adiZero Boston also takes its name from that race. Taking a page fromthe minimalist’s design book, it nestles into the adiZero line, the pure performance range of adidas running. The upper is a thin,open mesh with an internal framework of soft, synthetic suede supports and external overlays at heel and toe. A thin layer offoam at the ankle collar and in the tongue only where the laces tie provides just enough padding to secure the shoe comfort-ably without adding unnecessary weight. The midsole is a resilient chunk of EVA with a surprisingly low-profile feel. The heelis a combination of the effective ForMotion cassette and a substantial crashpad to manage the touchdown. It’s mated to a fore-foot of flexible adiPrene+. The result is an effective performance shoe that withstands the demands of high-mileage training.

“Well cushioned, even for daily training. Not bad in the weight department; light enough for faster running. I’ve been very pleased with theperformance.”

Recommended for: medium- to high-arched feet with neutral biomechanics to very mild overpronation • Sizes: Men 6.5–13,14,15; Women5–12 • Weight: Men 11.5 oz. (size 11); Women 9.7 oz. (size 8) • Shape: semi-curved • Construction: Strobel slip-lasted, adiPrene Strobelboard (heel)

Brooks Summon 2 $85

The original Summon was a yeoman-like neutral shoe that generated a rather neutral response. The Summon 2 looks to changethat with some upgrades and a price reduction. The upper uses a more open mesh—an improvement, to be sure—though it’sjust a bit spare on the ankle collar foam. The fit is secure and overlays are well-placed; in fact, the medial side is shored up,especially at the first metatarsal head, though the tradeoff is that it’s not very bunion-friendly. The midsole is the new BioS-257,Brooks’ reliable foam made eco-friendly without compromising performance. In fact, it’s more responsive than the original for-mulation. The contouring of the foam gives the shoe a much-improved transition through the footstrike and a lower profileappearance. Runners looking for a lightweight, neutral, high-mileage shoe may be well-served by the Summon, honored as ourBest Value.

“Fit well with good support. Very good cushioning, nice responsive toe-off. Pretty light for a high mileage trainer, though a bit heavy for aperformance shoe. A good running shoe, plain and simple.”

Updates the Summon • Recommended for: medium- to high-arched feet with neutral biomechanics • Sizes: Men 7–13,14,15; Women 6–12• Weight: Men 11.6 oz. (size 11); Women 9.9 oz. (size 8) • Shape: semi-curved • Construction: Strobel slip-lasted, BioS-257 Strobel board

k-Swiss Blade-Light $100

The Blade-Light advances the concept behind the UltraNatural Run series, but with a little more heft. Surprisingly lightweight,its appearance may cause concern about handling heavy mileage, but its performance confirms that it can take just about what-ever you’re willing to throw at it. It’s very neutral—there’s no extra support in the shoe—and it provides plenty of cushion andgreat flexibility. The upper features a supportive saddle that keeps the foot centered over the midsole, which is a generous slabof molded EVA that has excellent flexibility. The outersole is minimal (largely exposed EVA) but with carbon rubber in the high-wear areas and a forefoot insert of blown rubber and Superfoam assisting the toe-off. What you get is much more than you seeat first look—so much so, that the Blade-Light earned honors as our Best New Shoe.

“These worked great for me, no matter what kind of running, but especially fast running.”

Recommended for: medium- to high-arched feet with neutral biomechanics • Sizes: Men 7–13,14; Women 5–11,12 • Weight: Men 10.5 oz.(size 11); Women 8.9 oz. (size 8) • Shape: semi-curved • Construction: Strobel slip-lasted, Superfoam Strobel board

Mizuno wave Precision 11 $97

The Precision has had a faithful audience through 10 updates and the Precision 11 may be the best yet. The upper is light-weight and the open mesh breathes well. The newly designed eyestay connects to three separate internal straps to cinch theupper where it needs to conform to the foot. A soft, sueded liner wraps the ankle and instep and an Ortholite innersole addscushioning and comfort. The midsole is AP+, providing a much-improved ride to the shoe that’s further enhanced by an artic-ulated version of the Wave Plate, a re-beveling of the heel, and an additional deflection zone in the midfoot to accommodate avariety of footstrikes and gaits. The outersole has more flex grooves to improve flexibility while maintaining durability in thehigh-wear areas thanks to the carbon rubber. The performance is perfect for fast running—tempo, speedwork, even some longraces—yet durable enough for day-to-day use for the biomechanically efficient, earning it honors as our Best Renovation.

“They fit snug mid-foot and have ample toe room. They feel comfortable and have good cushioning for their light weight.”

Updates the Wave Precision 10 • Recommended for: medium- to high-arched feet with neutral biomechanics • Sizes: Men 7–13,14; Women6–11 • Weight: Men 11.0 oz. (size 11); Women 9.3 oz. (size 8) • Shape: semi-curved • Construction: Strobel slip-lasted

New Balance 759 $95

The New Balance approach to updates has always been conservative. The overall changes to the 759 appear minor when lookedat individually, but in combination, they’re enough to nudge the shoe into the Performance range. The consistent execution, fit,and ride have been little altered, but each of these areas benefits from the industry-wide trend of trimming weight from a shoewherever it reasonably can. The upper is a wide open mesh outer layer with a fine mesh lining. The overlays have beenredesigned, cleverly anchoring the foot to the midsole in a few strategic places while freeing it in the forefoot, providing sup-port while saving weight. The midsole is still ACTEVA Lite with the same basic N-ERGY set-up in the heel, though minor alter-ations to the components do improve the transition. The outersole is a bit more flexible and maintains the blown rubber fore-foot/carbon rubber heel that has worked well in this series. Runners will find the 759 to be a consistent and protective high-mileage trainer, which happens to weigh less than one might expect.

“I liked the shoe and the neutral colors. I noticed that NB did not use the ‘crinkly’ laces that tend to stay tied so well. The upper materialsare very breathable to help keep my feet dry and cool. They wore well, but the cushioning was about average.”

Updates the 758 • Recommended for: low- to medium-arched feet with neutral biomechanics • Sizes: Men 7–13,14,15 (D,2E,4E); Women6–12,13 (2A,B,D) • Weight: Men 11.7 oz. (size 11); Women 9.9 oz. (size 8) • Shape: semi-curved • Construction: Strobel slip-lasted,polyurethane Strobel board

Running Network 2010 Fall Shoe Review

Nike Pegasus+ 27 $90

The Pegasus has been updated more than twice as many times as the next-longest model series in this review. That’s a lot ofwork poured into a shoe that continues to reflect the best in materials and know-how. The biggest story of #27 is its weight: It’salmost 5% lighter than last season. The light weight, however, doesn’t undermine its ability to handle the mileage demandedby serious runners. The upper features a routine airmesh with an effective saddle design that secures the midfoot and lines upthe foot over the midsole. The midsole features Cushlon for the first time (replacing the stalwart Phylon). Although there’s abump in price, it matches the bump in value. The outersole—waffle-fill in the forefoot and BRS 1000 in the heel—has excel-lent durability with traction to match. The sum of these parts adds up to one of the best versions yet of the Pegasus.

“They seemed a little snug [on] the first few runs, but I think now I would say they are supportive. The shoes have a lightweight bounce tothem. Very impressed with these shoes—good durability, fit, and cushion.”

Updates the Pegasus+ 26 • Recommended for: medium- to high-arched feet with neutral biomechanics • Sizes: Men 6–13,14,15; Women5–12 • Weight: Men 11.8 oz. (size 11); Women 10.0 oz. (size 8) • Shape: semi-curved • Construction: Strobel slip-lasted, EVA Strobel board

Saucony Progrid kinvara $90

The Kinvara is the most innovative shoe Saucony has produced this year, and it may well influence its line for some time tocome. The philosophy of “less is more” is on full display here. The upper is a gossamer-like, fine mesh over an open meshliner; the combination is both protective and breathable. Instead of a full ankle collar, twin ovals of memory foam guard eachside of the Achilles tendon and provide both secure fit and comfort. The midsole is a new EVA compound with more rubber forincreased resilience. An insert of ProGrid Lite in the heel smoothes the touch-down and a tweak to the heel/forefoot ratios—lowering the heel a bit with a generous forefoot—actually improves the overall cushioning as well as provides a more naturalbiomechanical position. Its combination of innovations and its feather-like weight earned the Kinvara honors as our Best Shoein the Performance category.

“Nice, secure fit. No slipping in heel even though it has little structure. Light as a feather, surprising how well they work for daily training.Any reservations I may have had about how light they were have been dispelled by their performance on the road.”

Recommended for: medium- to high-arched feet with neutral biomechanics • Sizes: Men 4–13,14,15,16,17; Women 5–12 • Weight: Men 7.7oz. (size 11); Women 6.7 oz. (size 8) • Shape: semi-curved • Construction: Strobel slip-lasted

Zoot ultra kane $150

Its light weight places the Ultra Kane squarely in the Performance category, but make no mistake about it: This is a full-featuredmotion stabilizing shoe. The upper takes a cue from their racer, the Ultra Speed, using compression fabric for a skin-tight fitthat flexes just enough to give support while still allowing the foot to move. The midsole is a beefed-up layer of full-length Z-bound over a high-quality EVA. These dual-density inserts sit on top of each other separated by a carbon shank and work as aunit to stabilize overpronation. The outersole—carbon rubber in the high-wear areas with blown rubber in the lateral forefoot—is segmented and pared back to save weight, while providing traction, flexibility, and comfort. Overall, the Ultra Kane bringsstability, cushioning, and performance to runners and triathletes serious about their run.

“Very snug, comfortable, and supportive. Pretty doggone light, especially for the stability and support. Great shoe, I have to say. No realdrawbacks for me.”

Recommended for: medium- to high-arched feet with neutral biomechanics to very mild overpronation • Sizes: Men 6–14,15,16; Women6–11 • Weight: Men 10.7 oz. (size 11); Women 9.9 oz. (size 8) • Shape: semi-curved • Construction: Strobel slip-lasted, EVA Strobel board

aSiCS gel-Cumulus 12 $100

The Cumulus fills an important role in ASICS’ impressive line of neutral shoes and Round 12 provides the expected quality andcushioning. A larger heel Gel component increases resiliency, and minor changes to the midsole sculpting and outersoleadjustments add stability while refining the transition from heelstrike to toe-off. The ride is much the same as before, just moredialed in. The upper is a nice, open mesh and employs HF-welded supports in the open areas and the logo stripes extend backtoward the top of the heel. Other overlays have been reduced or eliminated in areas that are now better supported by the alter-nate methods. The height of the ankle collar has been lowered to reduce possible irritation but the remaining memory foamconforms well. The interior has a plusher feel and forefoot cushioning has been upgraded by changing the 3⁄4-length SolyteStrobel board to full-length. These modifications and additions result in a better shoe, which is welcome news to Cumulus fans.

“Very secure fit, with plenty of padding—maybe more than needed. These have been reliably well-cushioned since the beginning, and Iappreciate the ride they provide. They are a bit heavy, but that trade-off seems necessary for the cushioning.”

Updates the Gel-Cumulus 11 • Recommended for: medium- to high-arched feet with neutral biomechanics • Sizes: Men 6–13,14,15 (D),7–13,14,15 (2E,4E); Women 5–13 (2A,B), 6–13 (D) • Weight: Men 13.5 oz. (size 11); Women 11.1 oz. (size 8) • Shape: semi-curved •Construction: Strobel slip-lasted, Solyte Strobel board

aSiCS gel-Nimbus 12 $120

The flagship of ASICS’ neutral shoes isn’t what it used to be—it’s better. A men’s size 11 is 5% lighter than last year, the biggestweight loss (0.9 ounces!) among the slimmed-down mid-weight shoes in this review. The upper has retained the stretchy mesh,Biomorphic Fit panels, and asymmetrical lacing, but the individual eyelets have been separated into what ASICS calls DiscreteEyelet Construction to conform to the contours of the foot, improving the fit. The memory foam in the ankle collar has beenupgraded in quality and the collar height is lower to reduce the possibility of irritation. The midline flex grooves on the under-side of the midsole and as well as those in the outersole have been opened to allow the foot to follow a more natural path inits gait—put simply, the shoe flexes better with the foot. The plush ride, weight savings, and outstanding fit earned the Nimbus12 our Best Shoe award in the Neutral category.

“I am new to running, but these shoes really give me the desire to run farther than before. I have never worn any shoes more comfortablethan these.”

Updates the Gel-Nimbus 11 • Recommended for: medium- to high-arched feet with neutral biomechanics • Sizes: Men 6–14,15,16 (D),7–14,15,16 (2E,4E); Women 5–13 (B), 6-13 (2A,D) • Weight: Men 12.6 oz. (size 11); Women 10.6 oz. (size 8) • Shape: semi-curved •Construction: Strobel slip-lasted, Solyte Strobel board

Running Network 2010 Fall Shoe Review

Brooks ghost 3 $100

The Ghost has evolved on its way to joining the hot-selling Adrenaline GTS as part of Brooks’ Go 2 Series. The upper is a wideopen mesh over a smaller mesh inner layer that moves moisture away and ventilates the foot. The pattern used for the upperhas changed a bit and those nips and tucks result in a better fit over the foot’s contours. The shoe has gained some weight, afair tradeoff for better cushioning and a plusher interior. The biggest improvement is the move to Brooks’ sprung last, which isused in the Glycerin and a few other styles. The profile of the forefoot sweeps up, providing a better transition and more ener-getic toe-off. The midsole is BioMoGo with its durable responsive ride and great flexibility. The HPR outersole and blown rub-ber forefoot are familiar and provide the expected performance: good traction, durability, and a little cushioning for your highmileage. Runners looking for responsive cushioning and durability in a mid-priced, neutral shoe should consider the Ghost.

“These shoes fit great. I have found them to be the shoe I have been reaching for when heading out for tempo runs, or this morning’s 1200s.My feet are happy even after 15 miles in them.”

Updates the Ghost 2 • Recommended for: medium- to high-arched feet with neutral biomechanics • Sizes: Men 7–13,14,15 (B,D,2E); Women 5–12(2A,B,D) • Weight: Men 12.4 oz. (size 11); Women 10.6 oz. (size 8) • Shape: semi-curved • Construction: Strobel slip-lasted, S-257 Strobel board

Reebok Premier aztrec 2 $85

The Aztrec was an excellent entry-level, neutral trainer that’s now ready to play with the big boys, thanks to some excellentupdating by Reebok. It’ll cost you an additional five bucks, but it’s money well spent. The upper has upgraded foam, improvedtailoring, and a redesigned tongue, all improving fit and comfort. The injection-molded EVA midsole gets some help from theDMX Foam Strobel board, which is now full-length, and the ride is more responsive and quick instead of somewhat spongy asit was before. The flex grooves have been reworked and newly configured DMPRTEK provides its measure of cushion, as wellas durable traction. The heel has a slightly larger outersole pod to improve medial stability, while the lateral side works withthe crashpad to keep the foot from drifting inward. Here, design and execution were accomplished with value remaining frontand center in the designers’ vision.

“This shoe is light, stable, with the right amount of cushioning, [at] a decent price. What’s not to like?”

Updates the Premier Aztrec • Recommended for: medium- to high-arched feet with neutral biomechanics • Sizes: Men 6.5–13,14; Women5–12 • Weight: Men 12.7 oz. (size 11); Women 10.8 oz. (size 8) • Shape: semi-curved • Construction: Strobel slip-lasted, DMX FoamStrobel board

Reebok Premier verona Supreme $95

The Verona has gone through three iterations, each punctuated by methodical improvement. Though not intended for overpronators, the geometry of the midsole is now more forgiving of the efficiency breakdown that can occur with fatigue.There’s a lateral Shear unit, TPU arches that give a bit on impact and direct the foot from the lateral side, while a convex-shapedmedial midsole prevents the foot from rolling inward. The segmented outersole, flex grooves, and lateral crashpad provideadditional guidance to the foot for improved biomechanical efficiency, while the DMPRTEK outersole offers durable traction anda bit of extra cushioning. In concert, these changes provide a responsive, cushioned ride. The upper employs a stretch meshthat’s a bit more open for coolness and moving moisture. The tongue has been reshaped and softer lining materials used. TheKinetic Fit Panels are now combined with a SmoothFit interior to improve step-in comfort, even with barefoot use. The midfootis supported by the saddle created from the Vector stripes. The result is a responsive, mid-weight, mid-priced success story.

“They felt good from the first time I put them on. There’s a lot of padding around the collar. The toe box has a good amount of wiggle roomfor the tootsies. I felt like I was running (dare I say?) barefoot inside my socks and shoes.”

Updates the Premier Verona KFS 2 • Recommended for: medium- to high-arched feet with neutral biomechanics • Sizes: Men 6.5–13,14;Women 5–11,12 • Weight: Men 12.4 oz. (size 11); Women 10.6 oz. (size 8) • Shape: semi-curved • Construction: Strobel slip-lasted, DMXFoam Strobel board

Saucony Progrid Ride 3 $95

A bit bulkier than last year, the Ride now offers a plusher ride as the midsole features a larger lateral crashpad and forefootinsert. The midsole compound and ProGrid in the heel are durable and provide cushion without mushiness. The upper has asmaller percentage covered with overlays, favoring HF-welded supports in the interior of the forefoot, with fewer spots thatmight irritate. The fit is secure where necessary and there’s no slipping in the heel, thanks to memory foam in the collar. A mois-ture-wicking lining prevents the problems associated with wetness. The outersole has newly configured flex grooves, and whatappears to be a more substantial shank (though this is difficult to ascertain due to the nature and placement of the device) whichhelps keep the foot lined up through the footstrike. The durable carbon rubber heel and the blown rubber forefoot contributetheir well-known strengths to the layers of cushioning, providing a plush ride to the Ride.

“Quite a bit of cushioning, evenly distributed. They felt a bit heavy but they’re protective, I’ll say that much for them. They did a good job.”

Updates the ProGrid Ride 2 • Recommended for: medium- to high-arched feet with neutral biomechanics • Sizes: Men 6.5–13,14,15; Women5–12 • Weight: Men 13.1 oz. (size 11); Women 10.9 oz. (size 8) • Shape: semi-curved • Construction: Strobel slip-lasted, HRC Strobel board

karhu Stable Fulcrum Ride $120

Though the name doesn’t indicate it, the Stable Ride is an update to last year’s model. What else is the same, you ask? Themidsole components—including Karhu’s Fulcrum, here in the stability version—and the outersole are essentially the same.There are always tweaks, especially in updated shoes, but they’ve left the cushy ride and good transition unaltered. The upperhas several improvements, primarily for better fit and comfort. The ankle collar and inside heel area have been smoothed outand combine with exterior heel overlays to offer better support. The logo stripes have been scaled down slightly, and thin, indi-vidual HF-welded straps now secure the midfoot to the eyestay to provide support while conforming to the foot. The open fore-foot has been maintained, allowing the foot to spread comfortably. The weight is up slightly, but the stable, cushioned ride andsecure fit may be just what you’re looking for.

“Fit well from toes to ankles. Good stability and cushiness, but the heel felt a little tippy and took some getting used to.”

Updates the Stable Ride • Recommended for: low- to medium-high–arched feet with mild to moderate overpronation • Sizes: Men 8–13,14;Women 6–11 • Weight: Men 13.8 oz. (size 11); Women 11.2 oz. (size 8) • Shape: semi-curved • Construction: Strobel slip-lasted

Running Network 2010 Fall Shoe Review

Mizuno wave alchemy 10 $110

The Alchemy continues to be Mizuno’s most consistent motion stabilizing shoe. The midsole now features the AP+ foam for-mulation, adding noticeable responsiveness. The forefoot area of the midsole unit has been slightly broadened for better sta-bility and the midsole sculpting allows better articulation with both the ground and the Wave plate. The medial forefoot flexgrooves in the outersole have been greatly reduced without inhibiting the transition from heel to toe and the outersole has beeneven more differentiated by gender: The women’s lateral forefoot is more flexible, while the men’s is a bit stiffer, accommodat-ing average weight differences. New overlays supporting the eyestay wrap the foot better, while the top lateral eyelet is hingedfor better customization. The interior sports a new sueded material made even more comfortable by the memory foam ankle col-lar. The stability, cushioning, and comfort features make the Alchemy 10 Mizuno’s motion stabilizing MVP.

“It has a very nice balance of padding and ‘feel’ of the road. My foot feels well protected. After 100 miles, these shoes look and feel brandnew. I am pleased to notice that the dark gray collar (lining) around the ankle is a bit more durable than I have seen on most running shoes.”

Updates the Wave Alchemy 9 • Recommended for: low- to medium-arched feet with moderate overpronation • Sizes: Men 7–13,14,15,16 (D,2E);Women 6–12 (AA,B) • Weight: Men 13.9 oz. (size 11); Women 11.2 oz. (size 8) • Shape: semi-curved • Construction: Strobel slip-lasted

New Balance 1226 $140

The 1226 is New Balance’s most performance-oriented motion stabilizing shoe and it updates the 1225 with some reshapingto improve support and secure the midfoot. Cushioning has been optimized by modifying the rubbery heel crashpad, and the1225’s three small rubbery inserts are now a single, dual-winged unit in the lateral midfoot that acts as a crashpad under thefifth metatarsal. Stability has been dialed in with adjustments to the Stability Web shank support, as well as a new iteration ofStabilicore that’s thicker where the forces are greatest and a bit thinner where they’re less. The outersole has been completelyreworked: Flex grooves have been repositioned and there’s a bit more blown rubber in the forefoot that’s die-cut to allow goodflexibility. The fit has also been refined with webbing loops running the length of the eyestay that we found to secure the foot abit better. The result is a stable, well-supported, well-cushioned shoe.

“Initial fit is comfortable and snug. It seems that these have a nicer and softer feel with some ‘squish.’ Remarkably, these don’t have thesame clunky feel that I’ve experienced in previous New Balance stability shoes. It’s a good, comfortable shoe.”

Updates the 1225 • Recommended for: low- to medium-arched feet with moderate to maximum overpronation • Sizes: Men 7–13,14,15,16(B,D,2E,4E); Women 6–12 (AA,B,D) • Weight: Men 13.8 oz. (size 11); Women 11.5 oz. (size 8) • Shape: semi-curved • Construction: Strobelslip-lasted, polyurethane Strobel board

Nike Lunarglide+ 2 $100

The Nike Lunar shoes have been a work in progress, leapfrogging innovation with minor modifications and adjustments. TheLunarGlide+ 2 takes the platform and philosophy of the original and refines the final product. The upper has been tailored for abetter fit and a new configuration of Flywire in the midfoot provides support that holds the foot securely so it doesn’t slide aroundinside the open forefoot, a weakness of the initial round. The midsole and ride will be familiar as the Lunarlon foam and com-ponents have been retained in their original form. The outersole is essentially unchanged, providing a good combination of trac-tion and durability. The improvements to the upper, the continued great ride, and the welcome price freeze all contribute to earn-ing the LunarGlide+ 2 honors as our Best Shoe in the Motion Stabilizing category.

“Love the way they fit—nice and smooth, and hug your foot and arch. Super light, springy feeling while I run, but they still have plenty ofcushion and support. The stability of the shoes is good. They cinch up around my foot nicely and hold it in place quite well.”

Updates the LunarGlide+ • Recommended for: medium- to high-arched feet with neutral biomechanics to moderate overpronation • Sizes:Men 6–13,14,15; Women 5–12 • Weight: Men 12.2 oz. (size 11); Women 9.9 oz. (size 8) • Shape: semi-curved • Construction: Strobel slip-lasted, EVA Strobel board

Pearl izumi isoShift $120

The new IsoShift debuts Pearl Izumi’s new technology called the Graduated Guidance System. This is the most efficient mid-sole geometry that Pearl Izumi has used in a motion stabilizing shoe to date. It keeps the weight down by using a cradle of sec-ond density EVA foam to assist the foot through the gait cycle. The shoe affords plenty of stability with good cushioning thathas a bouncy response. The upper has the seam-free construction the brand is known for, along with HF-welded overlaysadding a touch of support at the top and bottom edges of the eyestay, and sturdier synthetic overlays in the heel and toe. A newoutersole configuration of carbon rubber provides durability and traction. If Pearl Izumi has been a satisfying choice for yourtraining, the IsoShift should be a quality performer for you.

“Fit well; it really secured my foot. Decent cushion, better after a few break-in miles. The stability was about as good as Pearl Izumi hasdone, and it feels a lot lighter.”

Recommended for: medium- to high-arched feet with very mild to moderate overpronation • Sizes: Men 7–13,14; Women 5–11,12 • Weight:Men 12.6 oz. (size 11); Women 10.4 oz. (size 8) • Shape: semi-curved • Construction: Strobel slip-lasted, EVA Strobel board

Puma vectana 2 $100

For Puma, the Vectana ushered in a return to a traditional approach to motion stabilizing shoes and Version 2 irons out somebugs while refining its strengths. The fit has been adjusted, in part by tailoring, in part by the rake of the heel, and the shoenow fits true to size (the original ran about a half-size small). The upper—from the stretchy mesh to the memory foam anklecollar—is still very plush, while supportively securing the foot over the midsole. The cushioning is first-rate, thanks to a com-bination of components: mostly EVA and a blend of rubber, but the DuoCell unit in the heel contributes, as do the Ortholiteinnersole and ldCell Strobel board. The M2D (medial second density) extends farther from the arch toward the heel for betterstability. The outersole has increased decoupling in the heel to slow overpronation and more segmentation in the forefoot toprovide better flexibility for toe-off. The net effect is a plush, stable, high-mileage training shoe.

“Love them. My foot is healing and I upped my miles in these shoes—I liked the stability they provided. I put about 150 miles on theseand they still are wearing really well.”

Updates the Vectana • Recommended for: medium- to high-arched feet with mild to moderate overpronation • Sizes: Men 7.5–13,14; Women5.5–12 • Weight: Men 14.0 oz. (size 11); Women 11.6 oz. (size 8) • Shape: semi-curved • Construction: Strobel slip-lasted, ld Cell Strobelboard

A cross country team’s success is largely determined in the training and socialization process that takes place be-fore the races. When we consider that cross country is a team event, with only one person who can win, team rac-ing strategies are critical. Teams that train together and learn the importance of working together have moresuccess than teams that are developed as individuals. And this attitude is developed in training as the team learnsto run together and support each other.

There are a number of valuable lifelong lessons that cross country running will instill in team members, ranging fromworking together and helping people who are struggling, to realizing that a team is only as strong as its weakestmember.

Saucony team runner Molly Huddle, 2008 U.S. 10,000 meters champion, who ran for the U.S. team at lastyear’s World Cross Country Championships, emphasizes the importance and influence of being part of theteam. She says, “I would tell high school runners to relish the team experience if they can, because ifyou’re lucky enough to have a solid team, it is the best part of running cross country. Running for the restof the team is a great motivator to get the best race out of yourself and have fun at the same time!”

Molly tells how her strong team spirit helped her in the World Champs. She says, “World Cross is a con-fusing and exciting experience but definitely one of the coolest races out there. It’s hard to know who toaim for and everyone up front is intimidatingly fast! But I kept my head in the race by thinking of the goalof the team medal and knowing whereabouts I’d have to finish and which countries I had pass for us toscore low enough to get it.”

How do coaches prepare their teams to think like a team? Having the runners warm up and cool down to-gether, do their long training runs together, travel to meets together, and socialize are great ways to bring themtogether. The community college team that I coached was by far the largest in our Northwest conference (we had45 runners!) and usually placed in the last few teams in the competition. But my runners would always stay by thefinish and cheer their teammates on, including one girl who was always last by several minutes. Runners from otherteams would always gawk at our team when they did this, but I can proudly say that my team had the best spirit,regardless of their performance.

Saucony team runner and 2008 Olympic marathoner Magdalena Lewy Boulet sums it up nicely when she advises highschool cross country runners. “My strongest recommendation is that when preparing to race cross country, an ath-lete should incorporate training on grass, dirt, and hills. It’s important to train on the same surface you will race.But mainly, have fun with it. It’s a great sport and you have an opportunity to be a part of a team, so have a goodtime with your teammates!”

To the Board of Directors of USATF:

In the last few months, you have done considerable damage to our sport.

Most recently, your clumsily carried-out dismissal of Doug Logan has given track and field a black eye. For manypeople in business and the media, track and field has become a laughingstock. Don’t expect many new sponsorsin the next few years.

What’s more, you’ve done it all in secrecy, while the hundreds of thousands of people in the sport who care aboutits governance—elite athletes, officials, coaches, meet directors, agents, the shoe industry, journalists, and many,many fans—have been kept in the dark. Over and over in the past three months people have asked, “What thehell is going on?”

It’s time to stop. USATF’s leadership is fond of talking about “transparency,” while practicing the opposite. Nowit’s time to walk the walk.

Here are two steps you can take immediately to begin to fulfill your obligation of keeping the track and fieldcommunity fully informed about the governance of the sport.

1. Immediate and continuing publication of the complete minutes, verbatim, of all USATF Board meet-ings from January 1, 2008 on, to be published online—without passwords or encryption—so thateveryone interested in the sport can learn what those who govern the sport have been doing over thepast three years and are doing now, and will do in the future. If verbatim transcripts of the meetingsaren’t available, we need to know why.

2. Full disclosure of all meetings, conversations, correspondence, records, etc., concerned with the hiringof Doug Logan. We need to know, in detail, how USATF hired, for its most important job, an individ-ual who knew absolutely nothing about the sport, had only three years’ sports management experience,and whose previous employment for most of his business career was as a rock concert promoter.

That’s a start on measuring up to your responsibilities.

— James Dunaway
