    Grand Canyon Adventure By Garth Campbell My Ultra experience By Audrey Stibbe B.A.A. Boston Marathon Report By Simon Pearson IAU World Championships By Jason Loutitt Stinson Beach 25k By Martha Mcneely Canada Day Race By Christine thate 1 PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE Susan Norrington There are many reasons why we run: to get fit, fun, lose weight, stress relief, mental reward, achieve a goal, increase performance in other sports, to name a few. So why do we join a running club? Running with others commits you to run regularly and makes it easier to continue running Advice from experienced runners on how to start running, avoid injury, ways to improve, good routes to run, how to enter events, how to run at different speeds and over different distances Motivation and enjoyment from running with other people, the miles slip past on your long runs Meet people with a similar passion for exercise and running Make new friends And many of us have. I feel privileged to have made some lifelong friendships in our club as I know many others have. Jim Sargent passed away on August 1, 2011. It was hard to say goodbye to a good friend who touched so many Harriers. He was a Prairie Inn Harrier in good standing from 2003 when he joined at age 79. He ran many races proudly in his PIH singlet and loved the attention he received at award ceremonies, where he not only received many medals but also many standing ovations. He was a true Harrier; he always took the time to applaud others and offer his support and encouragement.

  • THE OLYMPIC GAMES (6) the Intercalated (Olympic) Games of 1906 in Athens Greece the Partnership of World Expositi
    THE OLYMPIC GAMES (6) The Intercalated (Olympic) Games of 1906 in Athens Greece The partnership of World Expositions with the Olympic Games of 1900 and 1904 had been a disaster for the Olympic movement. Coubertin decided to support an” Intercalated Games” in Athens, Greece in 1906. Greece wanted the Olympics and the Olympic movement needed Greece and a successful Olympic competition. The concept was that Athens Greece would host an Intercalated Games two years preceding and following the Olympic Games. The Olympic Games would continue to be held every four years at different city sites throughout the five continents of the world. In 1906 twenty nations and close to nine hundred athletes participated in the Intercalated Games in Athens. The thirty‐five American athletes departing for Athens were funded for the first time by a special Olympic fund which was endorsed by President Teddy Roosevelt. On the second day of the Atlantic Ocean crossing, the SS Barbarossa endured a huge unpredicted sea wave which caused several deaths and seriously injured at least seven on‐board American Olympians. Earth quakes and volcanic eruptions in Italy and along the Mediterranean Sea made it difficult to resupply the SS Barbarossa with the proper food supplies to feed athletes. In one Italian port, custom officials maintained that the US mineral water supplies were instead “gin” under a bottle label not seen before. The port officials seized the “mineral water” and then gallantly replaced the “gin” with a matching supply of light Italian wines! American Paul Pilgrim was not selected to the US Olympic team because of his inexperience but he was allowed to travel with the team by paying his own way.

  • MECHANICS of the POLE VAULT Mechanical Bases of Effective Pole Vaulting Technique
    MECHANICS OF THE POLE VAULT Mechanical bases of effective pole vaulting technique Peter M. McGinnis, Ph.D. Department of Kinesiology • SUNY College at Cortland P.O. Box 2000 • Cortland • NY • 13045 email: [email protected] U.S.A. Track and Field 2007 National Podium Education Project December 13-15 • Las Vegas, Nevada T H E V A U L T E R 1. TALL AND LEAN. Elite vaulters are generally tall. Taller athletes have an advantage in the pole vault, especially at the pole strike. A taller athlete usually has a higher reach, and an athlete with a higher reach can strike the pole at a higher angle than a shorter athlete with a lower reach. Perhaps this tip should be entitled "Have a high reach height." Most elite male pole vaulters stand more than 6'0" tall. American record holder Jeff Hartwig is 6' 3". Olympic champion Tim Mack is 6' 2". American record holder Jenn Stuczynski is 6' 0". World record holder Yelena Isinbayeva is 5' 8 ½". There are exceptions, of course - Scott Huffman, Greg Duplantis, Svetlana Feofanova for example. Elite vaulters are lean. There are no exceptions to this rule. 2. FAST. Excellent sprinting ability is necessary for success in the pole vault. During the last steps of their approach runs elite male vaulters reach speeds in excess of 9.5 m/s (29.5 ft/s) while elite female vaulters reach speeds in excess of 8.2 m/s (26.9 m/s). Not all fast vaulters are elite vaulters, but all elite vaulters are fast.
