Maree in Major U S__And World Pub Sorted Page 1 1 of 540 DOCUMENTS USA TODAY October 4, 1991, Friday, FINAL EDITION Maree: A hand for homeland BYLINE: Dick Patrick SECTION: SPORTS; Pg. 2C LENGTH: 178 words Sydney Maree, who became a U.S. citizen in 1984, always wanted to help his home country of South Africa. Now, thanks to involvement in two public relations projects, the two-time Olympian and holder of U.S. records in the 1,500 and 5,000 meters thinks he has found vehicles for future contributions. ''South Africa has never needed help more,'' says Maree, 35, who grew up near Pretoria. ''Someone has to take re- sponsibility for the youth.'' Next week, Maree tours California middle and high schools for Shoot For Success, an essay contest and self-help project funded by Fujitsu America. Maree is also a spokesman for the Olympic Job Opportunity Program, which places athletes in jobs allowing them to train, as well as establish non- athletic careers. In South Africa, he says, too many black athletes are restricted to min- ing. His idea is eventually to establish both programs in South Africa: ''We cannot look at the South Africans and say, 'OK, you're free now, get up and walk.' Somebody has to take their hands and say, 'This is how you do it.' '' LANGUAGE: ENGLISH TYPE: Sportstalk Copyright 1991 Gannett Company Inc. Page 2 2 of 540 DOCUMENTS USA TODAY July 18, 1991, Thursday, FINAL EDITION Ex-South African eager for '92 BYLINE: Steve Woodward SECTION: SPORTS; Pg. 2C LENGTH: 212 words DATELINE: LOS ANGELES If he qualifies for the 1992 Summer Olympic Games, runner Sydney Maree is certain that he will share in a joy- ous, emotional experience. Maree is a U.S. citizen but was born a South African. Recently, the International Olympic Committee reversed a 21-year ban against South Africa's participation in the Olympic Games. At the opening ceremonies of the 1992 Games in Barcelona, Spain, the assembled athletes will include a team from Maree's homeland. ''I think it will be very difficult to find a dry spot on my face in that particular moment,'' says Maree, 34, who will compete tonight at the U.S. Olympic Festival in the 5,000 meters. ''It will be a very touching moment to see South Afri- cans on the other side.'' Maree is the U.S. recordholder in the 5,000 and 1,500 and was a U.S. Olympian in 1988. Though he suspects a government provision could be made that would allow him to compete for South Africa in 1992, ''I feel (the USA) is where I belong, and that this is who I should represent.'' As long as South Africa adheres to its pledge - promoting unified, non- racial sports participation - Maree says he believes ''sports will bring the people together.'' Until the recent changes, he supported South Africa's isolation from international competition. LANGUAGE: ENGLISH TYPE: Sportstalk Copyright 1991 Gannett Company Inc. Page 3 3 of 540 DOCUMENTS Christian Science Monitor (Boston, MA) July 27, 1984, Friday 'Nothing bothers a champion,' not even Los Angeles BYLINE: By Marshall Ingwerson, Staff writer of The Christian Science Monitor SECTION: National; Pg. 3 LENGTH: 504 words DATELINE: Los Angeles As the last-arriving members of the US Olympic team filtered into the city this week, many athletes showed little concern with the woes of this Olympiad - the East-bloc boycott, Los Angeles smog, or tight living quarters. And they showed little taste for pre-Olympic hype in the press, which many escaped as long as possible at remote training sites. Their first stop, before checking into the tightly guarded Olympic villages, was at a sort of wardrobe assembly-line run by team outfitter Levi Strauss & Co., where athletes were fitted into matching red, white, and blue suits of clothes for Olympic functions. As warm-ups and blazers were fitted to their wildly various physiques, the athletes seemed to look ahead at these games with a competitive vigor only slightly tainted by regret, and then only on the outer edges. ''I don't even think about the boycott anymore,'' says Sydney Maree, a slight 1,500-meters runner who left South Africa seven years ago (he is black) and became a US citizen in May. ''It doesn't even seem like part of the games. ... To me, just to be here is very exciting.'' ''Still you sit back and wonder if the Olympics will ever be the same.'' Michael Carter, a shot-putter from Dallas, trying to find a warm-up suit that would accommodate his massive thighs, has a similar view of the boycott. ''I forgot all about it. I wish (the boycotting teams) were here, but now it's just the Olympics.'' ''It's a shame,'' says August Wolf, world leader in the shot put this season, explaining that the US had a good chance to break up Eastern Europe's recent dominance in his event. The shot-putters can't prove it now to their best competi- tors, he says, ''but we're very, very strong here in the United States.'' Mr. Wolf, from Princeton, N.J., has just returned from three weeks in West Germany ''to get away from all the hype.'' Is he concerned about southern California's recent smog and heat wave? ''My motto is: A champion lets nothing bother him. The more you think about it, the more it bothers you.'' ''I don't have time to think about those things,'' says Sharrieffa Barksdale, a 400-meter hurdler from Harriman, Tenn. ''I just think about going out to run my race.'' Weather conditions don't bother Sydney Maree either. ''We're all going to be in the same boat.'' The heat concerns 50-kilometer racewalker Carl Schueler, who has been training in Colorado. ''But it's cooler than I expected,'' he says. ''If it's like this, I won't complain.'' Page 4 'Nothing bothers a champion,' not even Los Angeles Christian Science Monitor (Boston, MA) July 27, 1984, Friday Mr. Schueler notes less Olympic hype than a couple of months ago - ''a little less hype and more fun and competi- tion.'' ''This will be the most visible Olympics,'' says pole-vaulter Earl Bell of Jonesboro, Ark. ''You won't be able to turn around without seeing something on it (in the press). But ... I think that makes it more fun.'' Miss Barksdale figured the full impact of the games would hit her in the opening ceremonies Saturday. ''I've never seen anything like that before. ... I still just can't believe I'm on the team.''

This article is the speech Maree gave on behalf of the people naturalized with him that day. WE come from the four corners of the earth, from diverse social, cultural and political traditions, as immigrants, expatriates or refugees from other lands, all in search of the American dream of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. Some of us have endured hardship, deprivation and persecution in our former homelands, not for things we did or were guilty of, but because of who we were or what we believed in. Now we can reflect on those bitter memories with mixed feelings of sorrow and joy: sorrow, that such needless suffering will continue for others less fortunate than ourselves; joy, that as American citizens we need never tolerate such injustices or indignities again without cause. Today, we find reassurance in the fact that for more than 200 years, the Government of the United States has been a government of laws and not of men, and that the supreme law of the land is embodied in the United States Constitution, guaranteeing life, due process and equal protection for all. These enduring principles provide us with the fundamental right to vote, to acquire an education and to seek gainful employment in all sectors of the economy, values that cannot be taken for granted, especially by those of us who seldom enjoyed such basic freedoms in the past. But even freedom is meaningless unless it is accompanied by a willingness and resolve to be responsible in its daily exercise. So it is fitting that today on Law Day, the day we are naturalized, we proudly renew our commitment to de- mocracy by reaffirming our belief in the rule of law and the benefits that are derived thereunder. As new citizens, we wish to give as much as or more than we will take from this promised land of freedom and op- portunity, whose Founding Fathers were immigrants like ourselves, and whose contributions we can only hope to emu- late. Every new citizen brings with him- or herself a unique array of talents and strengths, and it is through this diversity that we can make our most profound contribution to the national interest. The wealth of opportunities that await our harvest in this country is not only unknown elsewhere in the world, but is also equally available to each and every one of us under mandate of the law. We can and fully intend to use them. In conclusion, I would like only to add, on behalf of all newly naturalized citizens, how tremendously privileged we all feel to finally be able to greet you as ''fellow Americans.'' Thank you, America.

    Next TLARGI Dinner Meeting—April 6, 2010 “Going for Gold” Going For Gold: Al Joyner A star athlete at Lincoln High School in East St. Louis, Illinois, Alfredrick "Al" Joyner went on to attend Arkansas State University. He competed with their track and field team throughout his college career, and by the time he graduated Al was a three-time NCAA All-American indoor champion, a three-time NCAA All-American outdoor cham- pion, a four-time Southland Conference champ and had placed 8th in the triple jump at the World Championships in Helsinki, Finland. In 1984, Al traveled to Los Angeles for the Summer Games to compete with the U.S. Olympic track and field team. With a leap of 56'-7.5", he became the first American in 80 years to win a gold medal in the triple jump. Al was also honored with the Jim Thorpe Award, which is given every four years to the best American competitor in an Olympic Field Event. That same year, Al cheered his sister Jackie Joyner Kersee as she competed in the heptathlon. When she captured a silver in the event, they be- came the first sibling teammates in U.S. history to medal during the same Olympics. On October 10, 1987 Al married track legend Florence Griffith, later known as Flo Jo. The two met in 1980 at the Olympic trials registration and felt an instant connection. Al later assisted his brother-in-law, Bob Kersee, in coaching Florence to gold medals in the 100, 200 and 400-meter relay.

  • Indoor Track and Field DIVISION I Women’S
    Indoor Track and Field DIVISION I WOMEN’S Highlights Oregon women claim first indoor track crown: The No. 1-ranked Oregon women made their first Division I NCAA Indoor Track and field National Championship look easy, claiming the title March 13 by piling up 61 points. Defending champ fourth-ranked Tennessee was second with 36 points, followed by No. 3 LSU (35), No. 4 Florida (33) and No. 2 Texas A&M (31). Oregon won without coach Vin Lananna, who was forced to stay in Oregon for medical reasons. The Ducks also overcame a disappointing 13-point first night that left them five points behind leader Auburn. “Their spirits were getting down,” assistant coach Robert Johnson said, “and I was like, ‘Look, you’ve got to stop that getting down and throwing a pity party. We’re still in this thing. As long as you guys rally around each other, we can get this thing done.’” Despite the late-night pep talk, Johnson was unsure if his message had its intended effect. “I didn’t feel so good after the meeting, but when I got to see them this morning their spirits were up,” he said. Brianne Theisen kept the good vibes going, winning the pentathlon and putting the Ducks ahead for good. Jordan Hasay and Anne Kesselring then ran fourth and sixth, respectively, in the mile to give Oregon 31 points. Keshia Baker gave the Ducks all the points they would need with a second-place finish in the 400-meter dash. Francena McCorory of Hampton won the event, setting an American record by finishing in 50.54 seconds.

  • Dyson Lecture)
    35th Conference of the International Society of Biomachanics in Sports, Cologne, Germany, June 14-18, 2017 Scientific Programme Geoffrey Dyson Award FROM MEDALS TO MUSCLES TO MOLECULES AND BACK AGAIN (DYSON LECTURE) Walter Herzog Human Performance Laboratory, Faculties of Kinesiology, Engineering, Medicine and Veterinary Medicine, University of Calgary, Canada The purpose of this abstract is to provide an overview over my career activities in the areas of muscle and sport biomechanics. I started in the area of sport biomechanics as an undergraduate student at the Federal Technical Institute in Zurich with the intention of becoming a track and field coach. During my graduate studies, I realized that the science of human motion was more fascinating to me than the possibility to coach athletes, and so I pursued a career that led me to do work on the cellular and molecular mechanisms of muscle contraction. For the past decade, I have tried to apply the knowledge gained on the molecular and cellular level to practical problems in sport and rehabilitation. One of the lessons learnt in these endeavours was that intuition is good in science, but reliance on intuition alone often leads to incorrect conclusions. Therefore, checking your intuition at all times is essential. Another lesson I learnt was that, particularly in sport science, the dramatic breakthroughs in technique and material development (Fosbury flop, skate skiing, etc.) often come from athletes and coaches rather than scientists, thus working with athletes and coaches, rather than merely using them as subjects of your studies is essential. KEY WORDS: sport biomechanics, muscle mechanics, mechanisms of muscle contraction, muscle adaptation, eccentric contraction, cellular and molecular biomechanics, running, cycling, long jumping, cross-country skiing.
