As you are aware we are trying to revitalize our volunteer effort. Our goal is to have every club member volunteer in some capacity during the year.In order to accomplish this we are putting together a list of all the club volunteers and their interests. This list will be available to race directors.We will consider placing it on the world wide web. One event per year is not much. We need you! Please fill out the coupon below.

P R E S I D E N T ' S C O L U M NAny one who ran Harold's Half and did NOT receive a T-shirt (either a Harold or a Sybil), please let me know. Ihave new supply of Harold shirts. A number of people are already on my list. I will have the shirts with me atDowning Park for the next several Wednesday nights, and certainly at the September monthly meeting. Pleasecome and claim them, thanks.

I have been nagged to finish this column so this issue of TRL can been completed and sent off to the printer, butI'm suffering from writer's block. To prod the muse I decided to go back and look at columns from prior newslett e r s .

Ten years ago: from the September 1990 president's column; John Hallinan reminded everyone about signingup for the Dinner Dance to be held "aboard the good ship Commander" (but with no mention of Bill Khron), John also requested that DanCaffery and Pete Meisler provide elevation charts before either of them lead us on scenic runs.

Twenty years ago: from the March 1980 issue: no president's column, but the following item appeared on page 1:" N e w S t a r t e r ' s P i s t o l s P u r c h a s e d "Over the last two years the club has purchased two relatively expensive starters pistols; we have also had two donated. During those twoyears we have had various combinations of malfunctions and loss of these devices. Our latest fiasco involved an expensive gun which wasdonated to the club and serviced to insure trouble free use; in typical TRRC fashion the thing jammed and we wound up with our usual''ready, set...go" start. Enough!Well, we solved the problem. You've heard the old saw about carrying umbrellas and wearing rain coats to prevent rain. There is an oldobscure RRCA maxim concerning starters pistols. Without bothering about cumbersome background details the bottom line is this: Buysomething cheap and tacky enough and you'll have it forever....and the thing will work every time; and if it doesn't ...or if you lose it, whocares because the thing was cheap and tacky and you didn't expect it to work anyway.Theciub now owns three plastic cap guns at $1.59 each; they work great-never jam and are loud. If we lose one, we breakout the second;if we lose or break that one, we fetch the third one; if we lose the third?... well, the thing was cheap and tacky...

Weli, we've come a long way in twenty years. We just purchased a trailer to haul all our stuff around in -1 hope it doesn't break or get lostsince it was neither cheap nor tacky, and we certainly couldn't alford to buy three of them, just in case.E d .

The following letter was received from Tom Church, a Taconic memberwho relocated to New England;

H i T a c o n i c s !

Greetings from Lynn, MA; home of Fluff (yes, the stuff that goes withpeanut butter) and the fast shoe making capitol of the world. I moved uphere last August to attend a well renowned massage school that I will befinishing in January.

Prior to the move I was living in Queens for two years and managing theSuper Runners at the old relay start line. While in the city I was tendingto one injury after another which is the main reason I disappeared fromthe race scene. The other is that I fell in love. Her name is LucyNottingham and we are now married (June 2,2000). I wish 1 could haveinvited everyone up for the wedding but we decided to go small. Thedoor is always open though for anyone in the area (Tina, could you putthis in the newsletter along with my address and phone numbers?)

I have some contact with Taconics up here, but not much. I ran intoRoger Gocking at an outrigger canoe race in Gloucester on the IS"* ofJuly. 21 miles with 5 foot swells and he was in a 1 person kayak.

Not much else is happening. The race scene is pretty big up here, butmost seem to be on weeknights (not conducive to a work life in retail).We are going to do Beach to Beacon on August 5'''. 1 will have myTaconic singlet on. What do I need to do to get a new one and a new tee?

Hurry up and renew me.Miss all of you,T o m C h u r c h15 Sanderson Ave., Lynn MA 01902Day (781)598-2557Eve (781) 595-3426

A View From the Olympic Track and FieldTrials in Sacramento, CA

by Greg DiamondFor 10 glorious days of sellout crowds in Sacramento, California,Track and Field enjoyed the spotlight. For athletes usually as anonymous as your next door neighbor, the attention and adulation theyreceived for one exceptional performance after another, was morethan they could ever have expected. Rarely in this country do trackand field stars work in the same kind of spotlight as baseball andbasketball stars here and track athletes in Europe. The same weekTiger Woods and Lance Armstrong held the world's attention making sports history, over a thousand athletes put on a show in Sacramento those of us that were there will not soon forget.

Many Americans know Michael Johnson and Maurice Green, because of the media's heightening of their rivalry and their worldrecords. But who knows Stacy Dragila? She set the world record inthe pole vault. Jeff Hartwig? He is the world's second best polevaulter who failed to make the team because he never cleared thebar in the trials, much like another ballyhooed track athlete, DanO'Brien 8 years ago. O'Brien didn't compete this year because ofinjury, but the decathlon was spectacular nonetheless due to thepersonal best perfomiance of Tom Pappas.

Johnny Gray has been one of the world's best 800 meter runners forthe last 20 years and at age 40, was competing again. After the firstlap in his race, which he led, he decided it was time to pass the torch.He fell into last place and ran the last lap slowly. After crossing thefinish line, he ran a lap backwards to an emotional standing ovation,saying goodbye to track. It was one of several tearful moments onthe Sacramento t rack.

Shot putter Adam Nelson, unknown to most of us, sitting in fourthplace behind C.J. Hunter, husband of Marion Jones and world champion, was taking his last of six attempts. He threw himself into firstplace and onto the Olympic team with a throw five feet further thanhis previous best. He then did a dance of elation only a shot puttercould do, throwing his huge body around the grass, bouncing off hisexcited competitors and embracing them with bear hugs. Theyseemed as happy as he was, and he just beat them.

Each day was packed with events. The third started with field events,four simultaneously. Just to our left was the women's discus preliminary. Some of the women seemed larger than your 'typical' trackathlete, while others looked like the athletes they all are. The men'spole vault, also to the left, ended with a jump-off to decide the thirdvaulter to be on the team. They lowered the height and each of threetied for third jumped, only one making it and thus making the team.Then there was another jump-off for the alternate position. Thewomen's long jump across the track was very stirring. Jackie JoynerKersee was trying for her fourth Olympic Team. Favorite Marlon Jones,recently criticized for her jumping technique came within one jump,after two faults, of not making the long jump team. In the end, shewon the jump, her second victory so far. The women's high jump, tothe right, also required a jump off between the two best Americanjumpers for the third spot, having been beaten by two athletes whocame to these trials with a dream surprisingly fulfilled that day.

Next it was time for the track. The men's and women's 1500 meterfinals were stirring with two Stanford men stealing the show, running2 seconds faster than either ever had and finishing first and third.Regina Jacobs and Suzy Favor-Hamilton, ran 58 seconds for thelast quarter to finish first and second easily. Legally blind Maria Runyan

finished third. The men's 400 meter race was anticlimactic as MichaelJohnson held back, saving himself for the highly hyped and alsoanticlimactic 200 meter race against Maurice Green later in the week,and still won easily. Johnson is the most protected person here,requiring 4 policemen and several other bodyguards to get from thefinish line to the press tent. No other athlete is so protected.

What television has done to track and field might never be repaired.Television portrays a feeling that the actual competition takes aboutten seconds and that viewers in the stands have fifteen minutes tosit and are bored while they wait for another event. In fact, theaction can be so plentiful, that it is easy to miss. With every throw,jump or vault, a personal best or American Record could be set. Inevery heat and qualifying round, contestants have the chance tomove to the next round or be eliminated and join us in the stands towatch. There is no other place in sport to watch so many athletes atthe top of their field put themselves on the line in front of a stadiumpacked with fans. No helmets, no teammates, no place to hide. Thepain of watching a runner fall back from the main pack in a 1500meter race, trying as hard as they can while failure (as measuredby making the Olympic team) is a foregone conclusion, is palpable.The joy of that shot putter could be felt by everyone.

Americans may be rediscovering Track and Field. No Olympic Trials was ever better attended. For the first time in track history, theWorld Championships of Track and Field will be held in NorthAmerica next August in Edmonton, Canada. Amidst the beauty ofAlberta, the world's best runners, jumpers and throwers will vie forgold, silver and bronze. And you can be there.

So, Does Age matter?Not if you are the senior citizen of running-

John A. Kelley!

One of the twentieth centuries most beloved runners, John A. "TheElder' Keiley made his Boston Marathon debut in 1928. Kelley,who won the race in 1935 (see picture below-2:32:07) and again in1945, owns the record for most Boston Marathons started (61) andfinished (58). His final race came in 1992 at the age of 84. JohnAdelbert Keliey placed second seven times. He raced in two Olympic marathons (Berlin, 1936 and London. 1948), and had been amember of the war-canceled "mythical team" of 1940. Hismarathoning life spanned two thirds of the Boston Marathon's firstcentury.

He can be found every year in the lead car at the Falmouth RoadRace and is as nice as this picture seems to show. Prior to thisFalmouth, he serenaded several young woman (and the Youngwoman in the picture with him) at a hotel near the start of the race.At 93 years old, this elder statesman wasn't talking about his running past, but encouraging and instructing others around him to abetter future.

Adrienne Thompson Gets It Right (Almost)Just when you thought an incredible record was safe, it goes by the wayside. In thesecond annual Harold Wallach Memorial Half Marathon, Adrienne Thompson camewithin 3 seconds of accurately predicting her time (only .04 percent ofO for a halfmarathon in 2:11:27. Last year, Ed McLaughlin ran within .11 percent of his prediction. It seems impossible that next year someone will run under the new record.

In second place, surviving a fall on the aqueduct was Leo Gormley, just. 13 percentoff (8 seconds over 1:39:51). Fourteen of the 53 runners were within 2 percent oftheir prediction. Twenty of the 53 runners ran over there predicted time with 9 oft h e fi r s t 11 u n d e r .

The two winners receive $400 in airfare to a destination on the United States. Thenext four men and women each won substantial gift certificates to a running store.All of this donated by Stacy Wallach who decided last year to host a race in hisfather's memory. Stacy is very fond of the pump house runs. A race that could bewon by anyone, regardless of speed, run on the usual Saturday pump house runcourse, would be a winner. And he was right. Although just 53 runners came, itseems as if this is becoming a favorite of many of them.

Ironically, the Saturday morning runs will now move to the Croton Gorge Parkdue to construction on the pump house bridge. Parking has become tight due torocks in our lot and we were lucky to have a race there this

The Second Annual Haro ld Wal lach Hal fby Lucia Chapman

Most of us love to race. The adrenaline rush and the sense of accomplishment (orfrustration) can't be matched on our usual training runs. But in a race, how oftendo we get to run and talk with good friends? Dawdle at water stops without guilt?Cross the finish line four-abreast with the competition? Have our picture snappedon the way? Wn prize money? (OK, some of you do.) Some of us even got to doa dress rehearsal for Mudders and Grunters, with a few head-first slides and someTLC from fellow runners and volunteers at the water stops.

At the Second Annual (and my first) Harold Wallach Memorial Half Marathon, allof that was possible. Generously sponsored by Stacy Wallach, the Harold WallachMemorial combines the best of a race and our Saturday long runs. Fifty threeTaconic members turned out for a race in which watches were banned and theobject was to come in as close to your predicted time as possible. It meant a lot tosee Stacy's obvious excitement at this event honoring his father. The rain held offall morning, and we had bagels and awards after the race. I went home with a giftcertificate for a new pair of running shoes for coming in second-closest among thewomen, and the conviction that I could narrow that margin below 1:26 next year. Itcouldn't have been just luck, could it?

W O M E N ' S O P E N T E A M U P D AT Eby Maria Calidonna

For this past year, Td like to thank all the women wlio have run any races in either orboth series -hang in there!! The Taconic Women's Open Team has not been competing consistently due to members moving (good luck to Freda Clark!), pregnancies, and fewer particpants. The good news is that (his past spring and summerwe've recruited some new and old members for racing this coming season andyear. Welcome to: Connie Davis, Maryanne Germain, Heather Case, KristenColsey, Mary NatelL and anyone else who plans on joining us!

We're hoping to start olT our new season with a strong show at the Club TeamChampionship. It's my hope that we can rally a team for the remainder of 2000. Whilewe will not score significantly for the year 2()(X) in Club Council, we do have a chanceof scoring well in the MAC series. For the coming year in the Club Council series, wewill be competitive with top teams.

Please keep in mind that on Wednesday evenings at 6; 15 Doug Miller hosts our trackseries at Yorktown High School. Runners meet at the adjacent Downing Park forparking and wann- up before the speed sessions. Taconic runners also meet at thepumphouse on route 129 for longer runs on Saturday mornings at 7:30. If youare interested in either of these regular events, don't hesitate to call me al7 3 6 - 7 6 0 7 .

TRRC Vet's Win Club Team Championships by 4 PointsBy Rich Nash

The competition was keen and Taconic pulled through for the victory againstCentral Park with Greater New York taking third. Joe Porcaro (29:29) tookfirst for us with Scott Abercrombie (30:22) and Bob Hermesch (30:32) hot onhis trail for second and third in one of the fastest 5 milers in America as theaverage pace is under 7:00 per runner per mile. As much as their superiorefforts put TRRC in a position for victory, they needed much more to solidifythe victory. Central Park showed up with an all star team with Austin Brownnationally ranked (28:00). Robert Francis(30.24), last year's runner of theyear, and Sidney Howard (32:06). 61 years old and an awesome runner.

What did it take to overcome this great group? Our team's strength! We had tremendous panicipation from TRRC ntembers such as Tony Galfano who placed 4th for us(30:06). Rounding out the team was: Jack Brcnnan 5th (31:15), Howie Bashant 6th(31:28), Art Weisberg 7th (31:56), Leo Gonnley 8th (32:37), DaveO'Toole (33:58). EdMcCarthy (34:34). Ray Marrero (34:57), Gary Struve (35:39). Rich Nash (35:48), EdMcLaughlin (38:43), Mike McCormick (39:43). Rudy Einhom (39:35), and Josh Knight(40:21). If any of our lop finishers didn't show up or run as well as they did. TRRCVet's would have either tied or lost according to the standard method of cross country scoring. The four places between fourth and seventh pushed Central Park'sthird place runner back to the 278th and 579th position total overall (seeresults below).
