This Day in History – April 10th

Posted on April 10, 2014 by patrickdonnelly1009

1896 – Spiridon Louis won the inaugural marathon in front of a home crowd in Athens, Greece wearing shoes that had been donated to him from fellow villagers.

In the middle of the race Louis passed the Australian Edwin Flack who had earlier won the 800m and 1500m. Flack entered the race despite never having run a distance farther than 10 miles. A spell of dehydrated delirium hit Flack in the middle of the race. A spectator with good intentions reached to help steady him but was perceived as a threat and promptly attacked. Flack was restrained and taken off the course in a carriage.

The Saint Joseph’s Track team, who has earned top 3 finishes in 4 of the past 5 A10 Championships (2nd XC ’12, 3rd Indoor ’13, 2nd XC ’13, 3rd Indoor ’14), has proven their talent on the track and, well… very far off the track.

This Day in History – April 7th

Posted on April 7, 2014 by patrickdonnelly1009

1962 – Dyrol Burleson adds a second American Record to his list of accomplishments (already owning the Mile record of 3:57.6) by covering 2 Miles in 8:42.5, breaking Bill Dellinger’s record of 8:43.8. Both men were Oregon Ducks and both records were set at historic Hayward Field in Eugene.

1984 – The Arizona State 4x800m team of Pete Richardson (1:47.5), Eddie Davis (1:47.8), Treg Scott (1:48.1), and freshman Mike Stahr (1:45.6) set an American Record of 7:08.9 on their home track at the Sun Angel Classic.

1990 – Baylor senior and eventual Olympic gold medalist Michael Johnson was named the Outstanding Performer at the Texas Relays after anchoring his team’s 4x200m and 4x400m relays to victory.

Davidson College to the Atlantic 10 Effective July, 2014

Posted on April 6, 2014 by patrickdonnelly1009

Dust is beginning to settle after the financially driven storm of college conference realignment hit the NCAA in 2010. The Atlantic 10 has said bye to some (Charlotte, Temple, Xavier) and hello to others (Butler, VCU, George Mason) and then bye again to another (no Indian give-backs this time, Butler.) Please give a warm A10 “Who Got Next” welcome to the final addition from this round (and for the sake of rivalries and loyalty, the last round?) of conference realignments: Davidson College.

Davidson is a private college located in Davidson, North Carolina. It’s undergraduate enrollment of 1,850 will make it the smallest school in the Atlantic 10 with almost 600 less students than the A10’s current smallest, Saint Bonaventure’s (2,400).

The Davidson Wildcats, current members of the Southern Conference, will field both a Men’s and Women’s Cross Country and Track and Field team when they join the Atlantic in the beginning of the 2014-2015 season, effective in July, 2014.

The Davidson Men recently finished 6th out of 9 at the SoCon Indoor Track and Field Championships, scoring points in the 800m, Mile, 3000m, 5000m, 60m Hurdles, 4x400m, and Distance Medley Relay. They sent athletes in all events except for the Weight Throw and Shot Put.

The Davidson Women recently finished 9th out of 11 at the same SoCon Indoor Track and Field Championships, scoring points in the 800m, Mile, 5000m, 4x400m, and Distance Medley Relay. They did not send any athletes in sprint events below the 400m, jump events, throw events, or pentathletes.

The Davidson Men finished 5th of 10 at the SoCon Cross Country Championships and will return 6 of their 7 scorers from that meet.

The Davidson Women finished 6th out of 10 at the SoCon Cross Country Championships and will also return 6 of their 7 scorers from that meet.

The Davidson Wildcats train at Irwin Belk Track, a 400m, 8-lane track that includes areas for high jump, long and triple jumps, pole vault, shot put, discus, javelin and steeplechase. They potentially fill the spot for a warm, southern outdoor championship host that Charlotte left when they jumped ship to Conference USA.

Davidson’s well-known basketball program stands to make a big impact on the Atlantic 10, both financially and competitively. They have competed below-average in a Track and Field conference that stacks up (from sprints, to distance, to field events) very similarly to the Atlantic 10. They will not shake up the XC and T&F conference in the way that the induction and exodus of Butler did. Their final addition adds something much more meaningful: the sign of a settled conference where rivalries will grow and realignment will be a thing of the past.
