The past two weekend showed one of the newest trends in our sport: the youthfulness of some of the sport’s rising stars. Hegos Gebrhiwet wins the 3,000 meters in Doha and turns 19 the next day. Kirani James, who won in London at the ripe age of 19, runs 44.02 to lead the world in the 400 meters, and Mary Cain, all of sixteen, runs an AJR to not only get the Moscow A standard but take second in the Oxy High Performance 1,500 meters. 

Again, is the trending youth of our sport good or bad? Exceptional athletes will rise to the top in our sport by pure effort and talent, but, the truth is, athletics, with participation in over 210 plus countries (about 300 countries on our planet at last count), shows that we have a true global sport. The key in near future: how to communicate our sport to eight billion sets of eyeballs? 


EME NEWS (MAY 18, 2013)

Great races at Oxy
EAGLE ROCK (USA, May 17):  The USATF High Performance Meet at Occidental College in the Eagle Rock section of Los Angeles lived up to its name last night, with excellent depth and strong times recorded in nearly every discipline. High sch
ooler Mary Cain posted the most impressive mark of the meet.  The 17 year-old from Bronxville, N.Y., backed up her sensational indoor season, where she set multiple USA high school and junior records, by clocking the second-fastest time of the night, an IAAF World Championships “A” standard of 4:04.62.  In doing so, she destroyed Suzy Favor Hamilton’s 1987 USA junior record of 4:09.10, it is also Area junior record. Katie Mackey had the fastest time of the night (4:04.60), and Canada’s Nicole Sifuentes and former Tennessee star Sarah Brown also went under the “A” standard of 4:05.50. Nick Symmonds, who had said via Twitter that he would be “dabbling in the 1500m” at Occidental, wound up having the fastest time of 3:36.07, despite not running in the top heat. Steeplechaser Evan Jager (3:36.34) and USA mile/3K indoor champion Will Leer (3:36.67) were second and third. Olympic medalist Leo Manzano was 8th in 3:37.04 and world medalist Matt Centrowitz 10th 3:37.27. In the men’s 5000m, Mo Farah got pacing assistance from training partner Galen Rupp, and took away the win in 13:15.68.  His other training partner, Dathan Ritzenhein, took second in 13:17.68.  Everyone fell short of the IAAF “A” standard of 13:15.00. That was not the case in the women’s 5000m where Molly Huddle, the American record holder, showed excellent form with her 15:05.56 win, well under the “A” standard of 15:18.00.  A resurgent Treniere Moser was a surprising second in 15:11-flat, and Brie Felnagle (15:14.33) and Amy Hastings (15:17.35) also got the standard. Eighteen men broke 1:50.00 in the 800m, led by Brandon Johnson’s1:44.85, the first of three athletes to break the “A” standard of 1:45.30.  The other two were Charles Jock (1:45.01) and Mike Rutt (1:45.08).  World 1500m champion Jenny Simpson won the 800m in 2:00.45; no athletes made the “A” standard of 2:00-flat. Matt Hughes won the men’s steeple in 8:25.95, just squeaking under the “A” standard of 8:26-flat.  Law student Ashley Higginson won the women’s race in 9:45.83, just off the 9:43.00 “A” standard.
