Chris Solinsky, running his first race of the year, ran a personal best at the mile, of 3:54.52, as he won the Flotrack UW Husky Invitational! A great opening for Solinsky as he begins his campaign to Daegu, Korea!

I spent weekend at the Wisconsin Track Coaches Clinic. With just under 1200 coaches, and the likes of Jeff Hartwig, John Godina, Gwen Wentlund McKenzie and Larry Rawson, this was an excellent reminder to me on who we write and publish magazines for.Great group of coaches, and a wonderful weekend! 

From 1996 to 2005, I spent every second weekend in February here, learning about how coaches were looking for information and also seeing some amazing clinics. In that time, WTCA grew to the second largest coaching clinic in country, and in my mind, the classiest.

I received a service award from the staff, something that they had tried to give me since 2006. I told the coaches that I have always felt lucky making a living from something I love doing. I also told them that the important job is their job. Coaches are educators, not only of the physcial, but also the spiritual. Running, jumping, and throwing affects the athlete, and the coach in many ways. Our sport is all about life lessons.

GREEK
PV RECORD

PEANIA (GRE, Feb 12): Two huge
marks in the women’s triple jump and a new national indoor record in the men’s
pole vault were the highlights of another open meeting in the Peania Indoor
Hall. European U23 champion Paraskevi Papahristou, who cut short her 2010
outdoor season due to lack of motivation, returned with a vengeance and in her
first effort posted excellent 14.40. Clearly elated she then called it a day.
Right in her footsteps followed Niki Paneta, who jumped an impressive 14.39
with a take-off of at least 20
cm behind the board, smashing thus her former overall pb
of 14.17 from 2007, in
a year when she also placed 6th in the European U23 championships. Serbian
Biljana Topic was a distant third with 13.83, struggling a bit with her runway.
Earlier Konstadinos Filippidis broke his own Greek pole vault indoor record
with a first-time clearance over 571, before failing three times at 580. Other
notable performances were recorded in three male events. In the triple jump
Dimitrios Tsiamis bettered his season best by landing twice at 16.73, in the
800m Konstadinos Nakopoulos was only 45/100ths away from the Paris
standard (1:49.45) and in the shot put Mihail Stamatoyiannis won with 19.17,
also missing the Paris
ticket for 33 cm.
A new national junior indoor record was finally registered in the women’s 1500
by 18-year-old Anastasia Karakatsani with 4:24.81, breaking the oldest junior
indoor record, which stood from 1990. Next weekend the Peania hall will see the
Greek indoor championships. Informs Thomas Constas.
