“I'm disappointed in our middle distance (runners), and by that I mean the 200-meter and the 800-meter. But that is something we will address next week.”
Alvin Copeland
“A lot of the guys now are 400/200 type of runners. I don't think, being a 400-meter runner, you can sustain long-term performance in the event with just speed type of training. No one has ever been able to do it. So I think it is harder for them to stay in condition year round, especially for big meets, end-of-season major competitions and things.”
Edwin Moses
“With the previous system, a meter reader could check an average of 1,000 meters a day. Under the new system, a meter reader can read up to 4,000 meters a day.”
David Hill
“The first 600 meters are crucial. I wanted the speed runners to have an advantage here. You have to get out on this course because of the tight turns over the hill.”
Bob Nelson
“That was OK, but I am really a 1,500 meter runner. So this was a good speed training run for me.”
Yuliya Chizhenko
“I think he passed four or five runners in the last 500 meters. He digs deep when he needs to, and he did today.”
