San Diego Rock N Roll Marathon

Sunday 4 June…..Lindsay Pears-Dickson turned a slightly over 5 hour debut and Linda Hall broke 6 hours with some margin. Winning times were 2:10 and 2:28 for anybody interested in those details. Anybody else from the herd find their way to San Diego this past weekend?

New Women’s World Record for Track 5k….

Anybody want to guess what this time actually is? The new WR was less than a one second improvement, but bonus $ comes for any recognized new standard….Answer is below….

Coming to CSUS on June 7-10….NCAA Division I NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIPS in TRACK and FIELD

Want to see some really outstanding and inspiring examples of athletic excellence? Want to see the equivalent of a “sub 4” mile? I had to go to Eugene when I was in college to see that kind of quality, (miles away and many moons ago) but we have it RIGHT HERE this week with the top-level collegians ALL here for their NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP. Predictions…Men’s 1500m times to win of under 3:38 (equal to a 3:55 mile) for men, and around 4:10 for women (equal about 4:28 mile). Men’s 5k times under 14 minutes for SEVERAL athletes and under 16 minutes for the women. See 7 feet in the high jump and 17 feet in the pole vault for the men. The men’s 10k should easily go under 28:30 if it is not too hot at race time.

Reserved SEATING is still available at only $70 for the WHOLE MEET (Wed, Thurs, Friday, Saturday). For more information, call 566-6560 or log on to

See you THERE !!!!!

Answer: (Women’s 5000 km WR is 14:24)
