Looks like 49.9 posted by my brother in law in the 440 way back in 1957 is still pretty good time.

Hey Spanky,

Thought you might be interested in this TED Talk, using biomechanical analysis to compare Jesse Owens' 1936 time with Usain Bolt's time last year in the world championship:

“…[C]onsider that Usain Bolt started by propelling himself out of blocks down a specially fabricated carpet designed to allow him to travel as fast as humanly possible. Jesse Owens, on the other hand, ran on cinders, the ash from burnt wood, and that soft surface stole far more energy from his legs as he ran. Rather than blocks, Jesse Owens had a gardening trowel that he had to use to dig holes in the cinders to start from. Biomechanical analysis of the speed of Owens' joints shows that had been running on the same surface as Bolt, he wouldn't have been 14 feet behind, he would have been within one stride.”

My wife works for Adidas and Adi Dassler (a German national) pissed off Hitler by giving shoes to JO to run in. Puma was founded by Adi's brother after they had a fallout over Nazisim which Adi despised.

Yep, Yukon!

Dalton Daum repeats as the Montana Gatorade Track Athlete of the Year. Daum accounted for 28 of his teams 32 points at the state meet. He becomes just the fifth Montana male athlete to ever win two straight Gatorade honors for track and field.

Daum became just the second athlete in Montana history to repeat as state champion in the sprints in consecutive seasons.

Congratulations to Dalton, quite the feat.

This leads to the head scratching question. Why didn't Delaney feel Daum was worthy of a full ride offer? Thankfully, Stitt made Daum a top recruiting priority. :thumb:
