2/2018 - June 2018

PRESIDENT’S REPORT Dear All,

The 2018 Annual has been published and mailed and should be in your possession shortly, if not already. Once again thanks to Jonas Hedman for doing all the mailing and of course to Peter Matthews for doing the hard work as he does each year. Thanks to all those who do contribute as well. We are very fortunate that the IAAF continue to purchase the bulk of the copies and we are very grateful to them.

Work continues on the 1900 – 1920 project. We have had more people contributing with results from that era. It is time consuming for the continuous checking and dou- ble checking but our co-ordinator Tomas Magnusson continues to do a fantastic job.

Work also continues on the 1940’s project by Richard Hymans and Pino Mappa. Please help if you have material to add.

Thanks to those who responded to help with the world women’s rankings 1974 – 1978. Hopefully I can get started fairly soon as I gather material now that I have fin- ished work on the 2018 Commonwealth Games which went extremely well this year.

Our secretary Michael plans on some updates to the website which he will expand upon. I have asked in the past and I will continue to do so. Could you please update your profiles and add a photo on our website.

Winfried Kramer has published his National Athletic Records for all countries and he has also updated the finals results of recent World Championships and Olympic Games after a large number of drug suspensions. These lists are printed further on in this Bulletin.

Some of our members are still doing a great job at the highest level and in particular Mark Butler whose comprehensive statistics books for World and Olympics are amazing as are his extended start lists at major International events.

Another busy year of athletics is in progress. We have already had the World Indoor Championships in Birmingham, Great Britain, Commonwealth Games Gold Coast, Australia and World Walk Teams in Taicang, . Currently the South American Games in Cochabamba, Bolivia are in progress. Coming up are the in Tarragona, in June, the IAAF World Junior Champs in Tampere, Fin- land in July, the Central American & Caribbean Games in Barranquilla, Colombia in July, the African Championships in Assaba, Nigeria in August, the European Cham- pionships in , in August, the Asian Games in Jakarta, Indonesia in August, the IAAF World Cup in Ostrava, Czech Republic in September and the Youth Olympics in Buenos Aires, Argentina in Oc- tober. These events are interspersed with the Diamond League and Grand Prix events. Lots to enjoy.

Best wishes,

Paul Jenes President ATFS Myself with International broadcaster Bruce McAvaney, Mark Butler and former Aussie International Tamsyn Lew- is-Manou at the Brisbane Commonwealth Games.

VALE – Dr David MARTIN

Dr David Martin, an ATFS Member for more than 30 years, passed away on 28 Febru- ary 2018, after a decades-long battle with Parkinson's Disease. Dr Martin, a Regents Professor emeritus at Georgia State University, was internationally recognized for his interdisciplinary contributions to distance running. His professional activity as a coach, researcher, statistician and advocate provided him with a great breadth and depth of focus that enabled him to impact the sport in many ways.

For almost two decades, Martin was simultaneously an active member of USA Track & Field (marathon development chair), the American Physiological Society, the In- ternational Society of Olympic Historians, the ATFS, the Track and Field Writers of America, the Association de la Presse Sportive (AIPS), the Association of Interna- tional Marathons (chief statistician) and the International Marathon Medical Directors Association (IMMDA).

David authored five books [The Marathon Footrace (1979), The High Jump Book, (1987), Training Distance Runners (1991), The Olympic Marathon (2000), Better Training for Dis- tance Runners (1997)] and more than 100 articles related to athletics, exercise science and sports medicine.

His expertise enabled scores of coaches and athletes to better understand the science of human athletic performance to improve training and racing strategies. His most coveted achievement was a research program he created for the 2004 Olym- pics that helped propel US marathoners Meb Keflezighi and Deena Kastor to silver and bronze medals.

"Dr. Dave" will be remembered by his friends and colleagues for his wit, wisdom and modesty. His legacy will live on for marathoners who ask themselves, "Just how fast can I run?"

Tom Casacky.

VALE - Jon HENDERSHOTT July 20, 1946—April 09, 2018

It is with sadness that we record the passing of ATFS member and internationally rec- ognized track and field statistician, writer and competition announcer Jon Hender- shott. Jon died peacefully from complications of a stroke he suffered earlier this year. He was 71 years of age and a longtime member of our organization.

Track and field was Jon’s life as he was born to be a part of the track and field fabric in not only the USA but across the world, no doubt influenced by his father who was a high school track coach in his home state or Oregon.

After his family move to Seattle late in his pre-teen years the athletics bug bit Jon and from there his love of the sport blossomed. After becoming a sports writer on his high school newspaper he later graduated in journalism from San Jose State Universi- ty

In the late ‘60s Jon became a working member of the Track and Field News magazine family. His interviews with athletes became must read articles whenever they ap- peared in TFN, resulting in many awards with him becoming president of the Track and Field Writers of America (TAFWA) complimented by his statistical research which was prominent within the ATFS.

Jon authored two major books—Track’s Greatest Women and Ron Clarke Talks Track— amongst other works, with his writings bringing to life many athletes and their stories to athletics followers across the globe.

THE FLYING FEET OF SIX JUMPING BROTHERS by: Ulf LAGERSTROM Part 2—Continued from February ATFS Bulletin

1903-1908 THE CON LEAHY YEARS

Con began to take high jumping more seriously in 1902. He was rather late in coming around though he did 1.87 in 1900. He appeared to have given preference to the LJ and TJ, in which events he was world top class, especially in 1902. All the same, that year he took the HJ championship “double”, beating Pat, and got third at the AAA. He and Pat tied for the win v Scotland. Con bested 1.89 that season, Pat 1.92.

Obviously, Con´s approach to the sport was more consistent - and persistent - than Pat´s. He competed regularly during no fewer than some 15 years, until 1908. Then after a brief interval he came back to make just an occasional appearance in NY in 1910. He was then selected by his club to start at the national AAU in New Orleans, but did not go.

However, he never succeeded in sailing higher than Pat. Yet, he certainly managed to scrape together more titles and more honours than his brother did, and was a statisti- cal world leader in the HJ no fewer than 6 times:

He captured the Olympic HJ gold in 1906 and tied for the silver in 1908. also taking the TJ silver in 1906.

He toured the USA in the autumn of 1907, and won them all, incl. the national AAU title. Con went after Sweeney´s record at Celtic Park, failed, but cleared 1.93 in spite of less than favourable conditions.

Con travelled to England five times to start at the AAA event. His debut in 1902 ren- dered him a third-place, Sam Jones USA winning. Then he waited until 1905 to go there, and then became champion for four straight years (1905-08). He jumped 1.83 twice there.

He won the event in the match v Scotland seven straight times (1902-08). The first victory actually was a tie with brother Pat. A best: 1.85.

In the same years he took the IAAA titles, with 1.85 at best. In 1901-05 he also took possession of the GAA titles 1.89 best. (After 1905 the lads could no longer be en- tered for both title meets, but had to choose one of them.)

It may seem odd that he did not jump 1.90 or higher in those major meets. Anyway, he needed not go higher to win. Mostly, Con did not even try to continue to jump af- ter winning, as he was concentrating on doing his best in other events, too, for which he usually was entered.

He won the Olympic crown with a poor 1.775 in a marathon competition. In addition, the take-off spot was in a miserable condition. After winning, he did not go on jump- ing.

Con started at the indoor AAU nationals in 1907 and 1908 but was unlucky. He ended third in 1907 after getting injured, and in 1908 he was fourth. At the time, the meets were staged late in the autumn. The winner was Harry Porter.

The Irish star learned that at the Games of 1908 he was to represent Britain, which he did not like, or even accept. He approached the AAU, asking about the possibility of his competing for the USA. As he was not a US citizen, the answer was negative, of course. Anyhow, he emigrated to the USA towards the end of 1908, settling in New York.

In 1909 he was busy establishing himself in the new environment, possibly as a busi- nessman, and was not shown at the HJ stand. In 1910 he was, and jumped 1.88 at the NYAC Games at a singular effort. A few years later he was reported to have joined the Millrose club, together with Pat, though there was no further news about any noteworthy athletic activity of his.

Cornelius Leahy passed away early in November 1921 in NYC, after illness.

TIM - THE NEW LEAHY PRODIGY

Tim Leahy was expected to establish a new HJ family record and be a world beater, with a style of jumping that was being much praised. Unfortunately, and tragically, the prophesy did not come true as the WW1 broke out, and in December 1918 he sud- denly died after being the victim of the epidemic flue of those years.

Like his brothers he did not peak early. True, he set a world leading mark of 1.924 in 1910, but only in 1913 was he approaching the class of the elder brothers. Then he jumped a 1.956 career best, being placed equal second on the world list of that year. His style was later described as a forerunner of the Western Roll.

In 1911 he went to the English AAA meet, and was defeated by the German star, Rob- ert Pasemann, an allround jumper of world class.

Tim managed to get a job in London, and moved to England. In July 1914 he already was entered for the AAA championship representing Polytechnic Harriers. Not suffi- ciently trained, he ended up equal fourth (at 1.727) in the HJ. In the pole vault he did better, being second. After that there was no championship until 1919. One source alleged that In the war years Tim would have jumped well over 6 ft.

Like the brothers Tim liked to compete at all the jumps, also the hurdles, and even at weight throwing, in his first years on the turf.

Reportedly, Tim´s first high jump of note was produced in June 1906, Tim still being 17 years of age. Being placed second to brother Joe he did 1.73. A year later he im- proved to 1.78, and in 1908 he became a regular 6 ft performer with a 1.90 best.

In 1909 he made his debut at the GAA championship, and tied for the HJ win. After being absent in 1910, he then picked up the title in 1911-13. In 1911-12 his brother Mick (Mike) took third respectively second. He never went to the IAAA meet. Conse- quently, he was not selected for the match v Scotland.

JOE, MICK, AND TOM

Indeed Joe was an allround athlete, still more so than the brothers. To him the HJ was just one of the disciples, at which he liked to compete. Con and Pat showed bril- liance in three jumping events, Joe in none albeit quite able. He never won a champi- onship title. He seemed to be content with returning home from minor meets in near- by counties, winning half a dozen prizes, give or take one or two.

At the Cork University Sports, which was a comparatively important event, he was in his element in both 1905 and 1906.

In 1905 he tied his career best of 1.83 (world list top-10 mark) in the HJ, being second to Con´s 1.95. In the LJ he also ended second and likewise he got second at the hur- dles and weight throwing. In 1906 Joe won the HJ, at 1.81, and also the hurdles. He was placed second in LJ, and took third in SP and was fourth at WT.

Later he suffered a muscle injury, which took him out of action for some length of time. When he came back to competition, he had already lost some of his touch.

The Joe Leahy story commenced in 1901, when he was 23 years old. In the HJ he best- ed 1.79 (or 1,74) and kept a 1,70/1,80 standard for four years, then upgrading.

Like Tim he never started at the IAAA title meet. In the GAA championships in 1901- 09 he twice ended second, three times placed third, and once fourth, in the HJ. Cer- tainly, mostly it was a brother who emerged victorious. At the hurdles he was run- ner-up thrice. After hanging them up, Joe served as an adviser to Tim.

Much later he was the only of them that was staying at the farm, taking care of it to- gether with a sister, after the brothers found other occupations - and destinations.

James Joseph Leahy passed away in 1956.

The remaining two brothers, Tom and Mick, were said to be as talented as the others, but did not show the same dedication to the sport and, particularly, the HJ. Both seemed to be more fond of running events including the sprint hurdles. Tom´s forte was flat races at 100-880 yards, nursing speed into his legs.

He retired from competition in 1909, and in the same year Mick went to the USA. He did not remain there, but returned home a year later.

Anyhow, obviously Mick did a little more high jump work than Tom, despite also playing rugby, hurling, and doing some rowing. In the GAA meets he was HJ third in 1911 and got second in a three-way tie in 1912. Brother Tim won both times. Mick set his lifetime best at 1.78 in 1909, whereas Tom did not go that high. Later in life one of them became an auctioneer.

MY LIFE IN ATHLETICS - The Mel Watman Story Mel Watman got hooked on athletics when he attended the 1950 British Champion- ships at just 12 years of age. He was just 16 when ‘Athletics Weekly” published his first by-line article and a few years later he was charged with compiling overseas news and re- sults. After working at suburban newspapers he joined “AW” in 1961 and took over as editor seven years later, before taking over as co-editor of “Athletics Today” in 1988 and then co- editing “Athletics International” from 1993 with Peter Mat- thews. In this book, in effect a personalized history of UK and from the 1950s to 2017, numerous extracts from his published worksat the time will, hopefully, convey the excitement and ad- miration created by the leading athletes of the day.
