One of our regular readers, Bill Schnier, retired in 2013 from over thirty years as the head coach at U. of Cincinnati just accepted a 3 week gig consulting and advising the Philippine national track and field team in its preparations for the Southeast Asian Games. Bill had two medalists at the Beijing Olympics , Mary Wineberg (4x400 gold) and David Payne 110H silver, so that gives him lots of credibility in that part of the world, apart from his all round likability. Have a great trip Bill. You'll hardly have your bags unpacked before you're on the return flight.
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. We're equivalent to an Amer. Legion post of Track and Field but without cheap beer. You may contact us directly at irathermediate@gmail.com or write a comment below. George Brose, Courtenay, BC ed.
