Not Natalie Baird
Yes, this is video of the young lady who won the USATF junior discus, but isn't it great that we have any video at all of a discus competition, much less the other ones below?! Baird, remember, was 5th in this competition.

NCAA Meet
As I find meet information on the NCAA meet which starts on Wednesday, I will add them here. For now, here is the official meet site. Here is the Flotrack site and here is the NCAA site for Runnerspace.com.

Born to Run

When I was at W&M, Randy Hawthorne and one of my college roommates, Scott Douglas (who is now the online editor of Running Times), used to go off and run ultra-marathons. I thought they were crazy! While this book has nothing to do w. W&M (unless you count the fact that it mentions Vin Lananna who ran for Roy Chernock prior to his coming to W&M), it is a great read and does ask some very interesting questions. You won't agree with all of it (if you are hurting, then you are running too fast & 98% of runners should not wear shoes when running ), it is a great story - albeit partly about ultras and the joy of running. Amazingly it is now 16th on the NYTimes Bestseller list and a quick read. Here is Bill Rodgers' review of it and the WashPost (June 21st).

Two More Going to NCAA Meet
Jon Grey was selected to the meet in the 10,000m run after timing 28:55.48. Brandon Heroux also made the championship meet as expected in the javelin, after taking seventh in the East Region Championships last weekend. His career-best throw of 227-5 (69.33 meters) to win the CAA title in April was the top mark in the at-large pool, and Heroux is seeded 14th overall and Grey is 23rd.

Here are the men's and women's entries for the NCAA meet.

Lots More Pics
When I was in school, Randy Hawthorne took a ton of pictures and taped them to the blackboard for us to take what we wanted. Now he takes them and Shelby puts them here, here, here and here (I fixed the link) instead!
