One of our readers, Mike Solomon, a former runner at U. of Kansas in the late 1960's, is involved in a project, Sport Exchange, in Kenya to invite American runners to move to Kenya to train and also enroll in a local university while there. Mike will be travelling with a delegation to the US this Fall to meet with colleges and coaches about this venture. Their website can be found at

Beginning our 14th year and 1,200+ postings. A blog for athletes and fans of 20th century Track and Field culled from articles in sports journals of the day, original articles, book reviews, and commentaries from readers who lived and ran and coached in that era.
