  • For Release, December 16, 1998 Contact
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Contact: Kelsey Rhoney (312-729-3685) GATORADE® NATIONAL GIRLS TRACK & FIELD ATHLETE OF THE YEAR: KATELYN TUOHY 2016-2017 National Girls Track & Field Winner and Female Athlete of the Year Sydney McLaughlin Surprises Winner with Honor Thiells, NY. (June 26, 2018) – In its 33rd year of honoring the nation’s best high school athletes, The Gatorade Company today announced Katelyn Tuohy of North Rockland High School (Thiells, NY) as its 2017-18 Gatorade National Girls Track & Field Athlete of the Year. Tuohy was surprised with the news by 2016-2017 National Girls Track & Field Winner and Female Athlete of the Year Sydney McLaughlin. Tuohy is the first athlete in history to win the Gatorade Player of the Year national title for two different sports, cross country and track & field. Check out the surprise video here. “With national records from the mile to the 5,000 meters, Katelyn Tuohy has reached a level in high school distance running that we’ve seen only once before, with Mary Cain a few years ago,” said Doug Binder, Editor-in-Chief for Dyestat.com. “But to do this as a sophomore, Katelyn’s even beyond Mary’s level of accomplishment. No one in modern times has ever held the outdoor high school records in both the mile and the 2-mile [converted from her national record in the 3200], and Tuohy got both records in high school-only races where she had to do all of the work. Her record-breaking mile in 90-degree heat in North Carolina this June is one of the most impressive things I’ve ever seen.” The award, which recognizes not only outstanding athletic excellence, but also high standards of academic achievement and exemplary character demonstrated on and off the field, distinguishes Tuohy as the nation’s best female high school track & field athlete.

  • Indoor Track and Field DIVISION I Women’S
    Indoor Track and Field DIVISION I WOMEN’S Highlights Lady Vols show world-class distance dominance: Tennessee dominated Division I women’s indoor track March 13-14 – and dominated the world for more than 10 minutes. The Lady Vols captured the school’s second team title in five years at the Division I Women’s Indoor Track and Field Championships and won two events during competition at Texas A&M – including a victory in world-record time in the distance medley relay. Tennessee’s time of 10 minutes, 50.98 seconds, in that event sliced more than three seconds off Villanova’s 21-year-old world mark in the 1,200-/400-/800-/1,600-meter medley, and eight seconds off UCLA’s 2002 meet record. The relay squad was anchored for the second straight year by Sarah Bowman, who figured in both Lady Vols’ event titles and collected a second meet record when she out- leaned Texas Tech’s Sally Kipyego to win the mile run. “Oh, my gosh, look at what we’ve done this weekend,” said Bowman, who also was a member of the 2005 indoor championship team. “I couldn’t ask for a sweeter weekend my senior year. I can’t even put it into words. It’s so amazing. “The heart that this team has, I could actually tear up just talking about them. Just to be out here with these girls who are putting their hearts on the line for the team, and it makes you want to do it all the more. It’s awesome to be part of a team like that.” Tennessee coach J.J.

Vesna Babić Zagreb, srpanj 2015. DINAMIKA TRČANJA U DISCIPLINI 100 METARA PREPONE Sažetak: Cilj ovog istraživanja je odrediti dinamiku trčanja u disciplini 100 metara prepone za žene. Istraživanje je povedeno na uzorku od 15 vrhunskih atletičarki koje su se uspjele plasirati u finala najznačajnijih atletskih natjecanja te u tim finalnim utrkama izboriti se za najznačajnija odličja – prva tri mjesta i to na Olimpijskim igrama u Seulu (1988.), Svjetskim prvenstvima u: Ateni (1997.), Berlinu (2009.) i Daegu (2011.) kao i kod najuspješnijih natjecateljica u sedmoboju na Svjetskom prvenstvu u Berlinu (2009.) Podaci za potrebe ovog istraživanja su izvučeni iz lista službenih rezultata i objavljenih rezultata biomehaničkih analiza. U ovom radu se analizirala natjecateljska aktivnost, koja se odnosi na ritam i dinamiku trčanja. U radu su prikazani različiti primjeri strukture natjecateljske aktivnosti koje se razlikuju ovisno o rezultatskim postignućima. Što su rezultatska postignuća bliža po svojim finalnim rezultatima i dinamika kretanja po pruzi je sličnija. Prikazani primjeri zorno ukazuju na finese koje čine bolji plasman u poretku natjecateljica s obzirom na uspješnost realizacije obrazaca strukture kretanja. Ključne riječi: atletika, dinamika trčanja, žene, 100 metara prepone RUNNING DYNAMICS IN DISCIPLINE 100 METRE HURDLES Summary: The aim of this study is to determine running dynamics in a discipline 100 metre hurdles for women.

  • USATF 2008 Annual Report
    2008 USATF Annual Report WELCOME TO USA TRACK & FIELD Three letters: “U.S.A.” Together they are the most powerful brand in Olympic sport, and nowhere is it stronger than on the track and in the field. The organization charged with growing that brand and administering the U.S. team, USA Track & Field (USATF) is the national governing body for track and field, long distance running and race walking in the United States. Part of the Olympic Family, with the power of “The Rings” behind it, USATF also is a modern, professional sports organization who views its peers as the NBA, MLS and other pro sports leagues. USATF’s raison d’etre is to advance the sport of track and field in the American psyche and in the American sports business and entertainment industries. The sport is international, elemental and eternal. Among the most ubiquitous and accessible activities in the world, track and field has universal appeal, with 213 national member federations competing on the international level. It is a powerful social and economic force in the United States, where more than 30 million Americans are runners and 10 million Americans run 100 times or more each year. Indoor and outdoor track and cross country is the #1 participatory sport in American junior highs and high schools. Tens of thousands of Americans are involved with the sport as coaches, officials and volunteers. The sport penetrates deeply into the inner cities, while fans at some meets boast an average household income well over $150,000. All things to all people? Maybe … but in the best possible way, and with focus on growth.
