We're days from the selection of the US team for the World Championships in Tokyo. It's been a very long lead up to this point given we're near the end of July, but that's the end result of moving the World Championships to the end of the season. We'll see how that's worked out given that athletes have been on different and varying times lines during the course of the season Read More...

Once track and field gets outside, it doesn't take long for things to heat up. The first couple of weekends or so, are kind of like letting the car idle for five minutes or so to make sure it's ready to drive in the winter time. After everything is nice and warm however, it's time to get out and let it run Read More...

It's about a week after Christmas. Two days before the New Year. Which means we're about to get more track and field! It's only been a few months, but Paris seems so far away. Of course, indoors is a tad different. Half the track size. Shortened straight away races. But for true fans of the sport, we're looking forward to the journey to Tokyo and the World outdoor championships Read More...

As I sat down to finalize my Predictions for Paris, I kept coming back to the same phrase - too close to call! Heading into these Games, we are blessed to have a literal cornucopia of talented athletes that we'll get to watch go head to head in the Paris stadium. Add the installation of a new, fine tuned Read More...

You know, it's funny how quickly things can change in track and field. In May many "fans" were complaining about how "slow" this year was! I said at the time that there was no reason for athletes to be running fast in April, or May. Not with Trials in late June and the Games a month after that. Yet the mumbling and grumbling continued Read More...

With most country's selection meets literally days away, there are still many many questions regarding who will be lining up in Paris France. Not sure I can remember a year with so many late debuts, or so few competitions for athletes that should be in contention. Usually by now, I have a pretty good idea who will be on Team USA Read More...

Of all the competitions in track and field, the World Indoor Championships tends to be one of the least popular championship meets in the sport. That's typically because most athletes are still in their base training mode. As a result, the fields in most events aren't nearly as deep as they will be come Olympic Trials time Read More...

So, with the 100m in the books, as well as a discussion on the relay, let's take a look at the 200m. I'll start by saying that we have the fastest/deepest group that the event has ever seen! Three of the six fastest ever (four of ten) are currently competing. With ten of the top twenty all time running on the track this year Read More...

The annual post season "break" is almost over. That period of time after the final meet of the year when elite athletes go on vacations, rest, and recharge their batteries. Anywhere from a few weeks for some, to a couple of months for others. Recovery from the wars of the season, before beginning preparation for the next season, which in this case will be an Olympic year! Ah yes, the Olympics Read More...

This year's indoor season was as good as I've ever seen. Personally I much prefer outdoors, but the marks that were churned out this year, were nothing short of stellar. Especially on the women's side. This coming with most "elite" athletes either not competing at all indoors, or only making a brief appearance Read More...
