One of the ironic things about Jenn Stuczynski’s AR last year was that about ten of us saw it, as it was in the middle of the world record women’s two mile, I believe. This year, Jenn had the announcing of Mr. Scott Davis and she looked fantastic! She is in a different league this year and she, in my mind will break the World Record this summer. Should be fun to see!
It was also great to see the trailblazer of the pole vault, Stacy Dragila, jumping well again, she cleared 4.47 m or 14-8 and she looked good, no achilles injuries. She should be in 4.65-4.67m shape by the Trials and in the real hunt for an Olympic team position. We wish her well.
While I truly enjoy Tyson Gay, and Kerron Clement and Jeremy Wariner, there is always a soft spot for Darvis Patton. Just a nice guy who works his butt off and he ran a great race at the adidas Track Classic.
I have not said much about Jon Rankin, who is really coming into his own and is healthy, we wish him luck this year. That 1,500 meters at the adidas TC was a good prep for running an Olympic heat. Hone those elbows and remember, they won’t be calling anything back in Beijing.
