INDOOR 2003

March 25, 2003 - While in New York, I got to meet Christopher Malcolm, Reggie Witherspoon's (left) indoor coach. With PA's legendary William Reed of Central High as the holder of the record Witherspoon broke in the 400 at NSIC, it was only natural for me to cover the story as discussion centered on which record to count. Reggie's was run from a three-lane stagger, while Reed's was run from a two-lane stagger. It also gave me the opportunity to interview Arnie Shiffrin, Reed's high school coach. The story was published March 25th on Dyestat, along with some of the discussion in the T&F community, and a response from Reggie Witherspoon.










Also while in New York, Matt "Jersey Guy" Soja and I talked with record-setting Pentathlete Donovan Kilmartin (right) and his coach of Team Idaho. The story was also published on Dyestat.

March 11, 2003 - Andrew Rademacher.

Hickory Pole Vaulter Andrew Rademacher reached 14'0 as a freshman, 15'0 as a sophomore, and is approaching his junior goal of 16'0. His 2003 Indoor PR of 15' 9 gained him recognition in the Spring T&F News high school preview issue. He'll compete at the Nike Indoor Classic next weekend.
