Wow, saywhat? sure makes a good case. So could we pleeze have a runner's board CoachT?

Nothing is better than a rapid-fire volley going back and forth. Tennis gets pretty good when you've got people like the Williams sisters and Agassi playing well-qualified opponents. The ball whips back and forth across the court and turns into a a yellow streak. The camera pans across the faces of the players and we see the thought before each play. Even more impressive than a tennis volley is the volley of letters and phonetics in the national spelling bee. Spelling is a sport into its own right, as it gets hours of coverage on the network for sports, ESPN. These volleys of words and quip questions from the contestants to the officials are very entertaining. Priceless questions such as "Are there any alternative pronunciations, please?" "What is the definition, please?" "What is the origin of this word, please?" "Could you use this word in a sentence, please?" and all the rest of those questions. The competitors themselves are intimidating: The large thick glasses of the third place finisher give his eyes a calcualating look as he asks these questions with his overtly nerdy and monotonous voice. Second place achieved his marks by slouching his way to victory, and first place one standing at attention. CoachT, you value all sports big in TN. Nothing is more exciting than Spelling. CoachT, please give us a Spelling board so that we can discuss who is up and coming in the world of spelling where words like "arete" count so much.

Richland Country Clubs has by far the best facilities anywhere near Nashville.

Why dosen't the TSSAA finance the meet by charging all the private school athletes 1/10th of their family's income as admission? [/sarcasm]

Yellow or Pink?

Fabulous.

This is further proof that public and private schools can compete with each other.

The Lipscomb kid is clearly the exception to the rule. To divide the day between work, school, and sports is too much to healthily ask from any student, or any growing person, as sleep is most frequently lost. This causes a suffering in health and a decrease in lifespan.

Seriously, there is so much the TSSAA could do to make the Track State Meet so much better. Why have it in the least central location when a better track is available in the most central location?

So how do these 48-01.5 and 46-10.5 stack up to the winning marks from other sections?

2:04.25 x 4 is all it takes to run an 8:13. All FRA would have to do is clone Cowan about four times over, and they've got it. O wait, don't we just have about four of him right now?

C0asterboarder, where did that come from? Certainly not the locked thread? Anyway, what has MLKs best time been so far this year? I'm talking about an actual time that has been run, not just a time that was fabricated for seeding purposes (not to suggest that any schools would do such a thing).

Now that some results are in, we can more fully grasp the competition. Daniel Jones CW- 9:32 He ran in the Men's Kibby Clayton Memorial 5000m and dropped out after his 9:32 3200 and is listed as a DNF because he dropped out before the 5k was done. Jones closed in a 64.
