4x2 and relay scoring hurts our country's developmental track I would be in favor of the college schedule for hs with the following exceptions 300mh instead of the 400mh no chase run the 5 for boys and 3 for girls or 3 for both IMHO the 4x2 and the scoring double for relays hurts other events people put a lot of kids in relays Leo Manzano - 2012 got a silver in the 1500 before that it was Ryun in 1968 Meb Keflezighi - 2004 silver in the marathon but until that the last time we won a medal in the 800 and up was Gray in 1992 sans 2012 Wilkins and Powell got our last discus medals in 1984 Lance Earl Deal - 1996 sliver in the hammer William D. Schmidt - 1972 bronze javelin the women have never won a medal in the 1500m 3000m 5000m and TJ and hammer never a gold in the 400mh 1 shot medal Earlene Brown - 1960 bronze we suck in a lot of events we should be better and do better Im sure as usual gptf I would agree on many points you make here. The only one that doesn't fit is the hammer and discus guys. They probably weren't gonna run any other events. Now if you are talking from a time teaching technique point of view, h3ll, it all makes sense. It is the nature of the beast. To get along have to go along. And that means put 4 relays together to give you a shot.

A good track meet mostly depends on getting good help from your staff, admin, and others who help clerk/set hurdles/finish clerk/run computers/etc. The starter is not nearly as important as those people I just mentioned.

Your opinion of yourself sure is lofty, Burnet.

I don't run kick ball tourneys. You still need starting clerks and other volunteers to run field events and man the computers. Computers don't man themselves......

I'm sure you run your kick ball stats on one.

I don't do stats. Our head soccer director does stats. Fish elsewhere.

i would be highly in favor of getting rid of the 4x2 relay and the 3200M run.
for some reason i just don't like the 4x2 and the 3200M run is just an extension of cross country and holds up the track meet.

I wish we did olympic events. If you are going to go 2 mile run, why not 5k? If not, then get rid of it.

Screw the 5K...I will agree as long as coaches agree not to put the kid that gets lapped already in the 2 mile in the 5k...I have wasted many minutes in my life watching a kid wog in the 2 mile after being lapped a couple times...

The 2 mile race shouldn't be in track anyways! It's terrible. You wanna run the 2 mile then go join the cross country team! Putting a 5K in a track meet is absurd!
