Penn Relays are taking place.

Actually as I type this it looks like they may have just ended.

Nope, still have a couple hours to go (though network tv coverage has ended). As posted in the high school sports thread, the Drew Hunter mentioned in the post above yours was involved in a Distance Medley for the ages.

And Penn actually won a Championship Race at the Penn Relays for the first time in 42 years, taking the 4 x 1 mile.

Usain Bolt out of Jamaican Olympic Trials with hamstring tear.

Still has a chance to qualify on a medical exemption, but it's not looking god.

swishnicholson wrote:This has absolutely nothing to do with Usain Bolt, but since this is the "message board of record" and this is the closest thread I could find to one about competitive running, it should be noted that Dennis Kimetto became the first person to break 2:03 for the marathon, running 2:02:57 at Berlin this weekend. The second finisher was also under the old world record. The pace comes to 4:41 per mile for those of you calculating at home.

Shalane Flanagan of the US ran a PR of 2:21:14 to finish third among the women.


we're getting a little bit closer

After three years of planning, Nike's goal of staging a sub-2-hour marathon is still just that—an audacious aspiration. But Eliud Kipchoge, a 32-year-old Kenayn, ran 26.2 miles faster than anybody in history, finishing the time trial in 2:00:25.

4:36 per minute pace

Emma Coburn and Courtney Frerichs, who are worth watching even when they are not running, take 1-2 in the women's steeplechase at the World Championships.

In one of the most bizarre things I've seen, Chepkoech of Kenya, running with the pack pretty early on in the race, fails to take the turn to the inside water jump and has to loop back to make it. somehow manages to catchup to lead pack and eventually finish fourth.

Crazy race, lots of pushing and shoving. Worth watching if you can even though I've spoiled it for you.

For you football fans, Vashti Cunningham, Randall's little (6' 1 ') girl goes after a World Championship medal in the high jump tomorrow.

Bolt's final race coming up in just a few minutes on NBC. Jamaican team is not at their best due to injuries. Then again, US will likely get DQ'ed anyway, as they like to do in finals.

But probably a US victory with lots of boos for twice-convicted drug cheat Justin Gatlin.

Well, interesting. Bolt pulls up with an injury. US seems to be taking over lead, then give it up to a very good Great britain team..
