We're finally ready to go play outside! As exciting as this year's indoor season was, outdoors is always better. If that's the case, this is going to be a season for the ages. Especially the ending with Noah Lyles running the 4x4 and others saying, yo I wanted to do that! That is what Olympic seasons are about 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...

The New Balance Invitational was everything that was advertised. Great distance running. Some exciting field events. And some electric sprints and hurdles. Grant Holloway continued his decade long 60H winning streak. Gabby Thomas dominated over 300m, in spite of being slightly under the weather. And Mikiah Brisco looked good in her 60m win 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...
Budapest Was As Good As Advertised

Prior to the start of Budapest 2023, I foresaw this as potentially one of the greatest championships ever. The losses of several top athletes didn't deter me from this thought. Now that the meet has been run and the results are in, I would say that my original assessment was correct. The depth of talent in this sport is greater than it's ever been Read More...

The stars came out this past weekend and track and field shined brightly as a result. That's the verdict of fans everywhere that watched either of the Texas or Florida Relays.

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...

Just as the letter Z closes out the alphabet. Zurich and Zagreb have closed out the 2022 track season. And what a season it's been. More Championships than ever in one season with NCAA's, Nationals, Worlds, U20's, Commonwealth, NACAC, and Europeans! That's enough to fill an Olympic cycle, let alone one year Read More...

To borrow from a popular phrase. Track and field in America suffers from many things, but talent is not one of them. We lead the world in talent. Especially in speed and strength events at the present time. At the recent World Championships, we won 33 medals. In spite of a lack of government support Read More...
