Another recount in Florida!
-- After celebrating their upset of Delray Atlantic
for 3 days, joy turned to sorrow for Winter Park FL. The
FHSA reversed the boys 4A result and declared Atlantic the winner,
111-115, when it was discovered by video reruns that Atlantic's 3rd
runner finished 24th instead of 31st. What will the Florida
Supreme Court say?

CA: Ryan
Hall breaks Jeff Nelson's Mt. SAC record - In
the California Southern Section finals at Mt. San Antonio College,
Walnut CA, Big Bear CA sr Ryan Hall ran 14:28, four seconds
better than the legendary Jeff Nelson's record (1978) for the hilly,
difficult 2.98 mile course. After flirting with the record last
week in the SS prelims (14:35), Hall got it today 11/18.
Glendale Hoover sr Anita Siraki won Div 1 girls race
in 16:53.
DyeStat message board poster Lasse Viren
reported:
Hall's split were 4:29 and
9:45. Ryan did run alone most of the way, but the first mile his
lead was 14 seconds to a pair of guys. At the top of the
switchbacks it was only 10 seconds (one guy really pushed the hill). but
at the 1.5 mark he had clearly hit the pedal and took off (lead was
about 26-28 sec at 1.5) once he hit the road off the dirt he really
looked like he was sprinting with the windmill turnover.
I asked Hall about all those little questions people have been
pondering.
ME: what colleges are you going to ?
Hall: I narrowed it down to Stanford, UCLA, and Cal Baptist
ME: Are you going to footlocker?
Hall : If I run good at state I will do the regionals
In further interviews, Hall had this to
say:
When asked the difference between last week's 14:35
and this 14:28 effort was that after the mile mark this time, he stated,
"I relaxed during the switchback loop and after the mile, while
last week I felt I tightened up. I was aware of where I was in the race
compared to the record, especially after two miles." When asked
about Foot Locker in a couple of weeks, Ryan stated, "If things go
well at state and things keep progressing I think I will run it."
After the 14:35 last week, "I respected that record, but once I
passed two miles I was pretty sure that I was going to get it."
When asked how he will approach the state meet and Foot Locker, he
replied, "Next week will kind of be an indicator. I will run hard.
If I run well at state I will run Regionals, and if I do not run well I
will probably pack it up and wait for track season."
DyeStat says: Fans everywhere
fervently hope that Hall does well at California states next week, so he
will enter the Foot Locker West regional and advance to a dream matchup
in Orlando between Hall, Dathan Ritzenhein of Michigan, and Alan
Webb of Virginia.
