From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jump to: navigation, search
John "Jack" William Hutchins (born 8 June 1926, Vancouver, British Columbia, died April 8, 2008, West Vancouver, British Columbia) was a Canadian middle distance runner. Hutchins was the Canadian national record holder in the 880 yards for the years 1946, 1947 and 1951 (shared with Bill Parnell), and the 440 yard Canadian and British Columbia record holder in 1951. He competed for Canada in the 1948 Summer Olympics in London, England having won at the trials in the 880m and coming in 2nd in the 1500m. He competed again at the 1952 Summer Olympics in Helsinki, Finland. Hutchins also competed at the British Empire Games (Commonwealth Games) in 1950 and 1954, winning the silver medal in the 880 yards in 1950.[1]
Hutchins attended the University of Oregon, where he obtained his BSc. He was coached by Bill Bowerman, co-founder of Nike and won several titles as a university track and field athlete, setting records in the mile run. He was an All-American in 1951-52, received the Jack Davies and Oregon Emerald Awards and was the AAU outstanding Canadian track and field athlete in 1952.
Hutchins continued to compete throughout his life and won numerous events in both the United States and Canada and participated in the Vancouver Sun Run in 2007, at the age of 80 with a time of 1.09.27.

Nuttycombe And Pre-Nats Shake Up NCAA DI Women’s XC Regional Rankings


By Tyler Mayforth, USTFCCCA
October 17, 2016   



NEW ORLEANS— Did everybody catch their breath after a crazy weekend in NCAA Division I Cross Country?
Good.
Now it’s time to take a look at how the Nuttycombe Wisconsin Invitational and the Pre-National Invitational shook up the most recent Women’s Regional Rankings, released Monday by the U.S. Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association (USTFCCCA).
Regional Rankings Summary PDF | Rankings Central | Men’s Rankings
There are two new No. 1 teams and five more moved into the all-important No. 2 slot. The top-2 spots in each region are critical, because if those teams finish in that position at the Regional Championship on November 11, they’ll earn automatic bids to the NCAA DI Cross Country Championships eight days later.
Let’s start alphabetically and find ourselves in the Great Lakes Region, where former No. 2 Michigan supplanted former No. 1 Michigan State at the top of the billing. This past weekend the Wolverines finished a game third at the Pre-National Invitational behind individual champion Erin Finn, while the Spartans limped to 19th place in Madison, Wisconsin and only had one runner in the top-50.
Michigan State actually fell all the way down to fourth, as both Eastern Michigan (No. 3 to No. 2) and Notre Dame (No. 5 to No. 3) leapfrogged, too. The Eagles were 7th at Pre-Nationals and the Irish were 9th in Wisconsin as Anna Rohrer placed third overall.
The other new No. 1 team is that of Iowa State in the Midwest Region. The Cyclones, who were formerly No. 3, jumped two spots after an 8th-place finish in Wisconsin. Erin Hooker led the way for Iowa State as its move pushed Oklahoma State (No. 1 to No. 2) and Minnesota (No. 2 to No. 3) down one spot each.
Just like the Cyclones, the Villanova Wildcats are making a name for themselves as the season progresses. Villanova most recently was 12th in Wisconsin, topped region rivals Georgetown and Penn, and went from No. 5 to No. 2 in the Mid-Atlantic. Paul Short Run champ Angel Piccirillo was 19th overall and the Wildcats put two in the top-35.
Another team that surged three spots in the rankings was that of Oregon. The Ducks had fallen to No. 5 in the West Region, but their performance at Pre-Nats propelled them right back to No. 2 behind top-ranked Washington. Oregon had two runners in the top-15 and finished runner-up to Colorado in the team standings.
Baylor and William & Mary are the other two teams that slid into the No. 2 spot in their respectively regions. The Bears were a surprising fifth in Wisconsin as Maggie Montoya and Lindsey Bradley led the way. The Tribe took eighth at the Penn State National Open, which was run Friday and won by the host Nittany Lions.
With the Nuttycombe Wisconsin Invitational and Pre-Nats in the books, the postseason is quickly approaching. Conference championships are in two weeks and they’ll be followed by the nine Regional Championships in which NCAA bids will be secured.
What impact will these rankings have on the National Coaches’ Poll? Be sure to check back in tomorrow at noon ET and tune into "Cross Country U."
USTFCCCA Regional Cross Country Rankings are determined subjectively by a single member coach in each respective region. The regional representative is tasked with weighing returning teams strength with current season results (if applicable) in determining predicted team finishes at the NCAA Regional Championships.

Three New Men’s Regional No. 1 Teams After Wisconsin, Pre-Nats


By Kyle Terwillegar, USTFCCCA
October 17, 2016   



NEW ORLEANS – The dust has settled from a wild weekend of regular-season finale meets at Wisconsin and Pre-Nationals, revealing numerous changes atop the newest NCAA Division I Men’s Cross Country Regional Rankings.
Of the nine overall regions, three checked in this week with new top-ranked teams in the rankings announced Monday morning by the U.S. Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association (USTFCCCA).
Regional Rankings Summary PDF | Rankings Central | Women’s Rankings
Only conference championships stand between now and the Regional Championships on Friday, November 11. The top two teams from each of the nine regions will earn automatic berths into the NCAA Championships on November 19 in Terre Haute, Indiana, while 13 more teams will earn at-large bids based on their season-long body of work and regional finishes.
Perhaps the most significant shift – certainly in terms of what might happen in Tuesday’s National Coaches’ Poll (revealed live on the “Cross Country U” podcast at noon ET) – was out in the West Region. With former regional No. 1 Portland finishing seventh at Wisconsin behind two other teams from the West (Stanford and UCLA), the top spot was up for grabs.
It was ultimately Nuttycombe Wisconsin Invitational runner-up Stanford that moved up three spots to claim it, leapfrogging Pre-Nationals team champion Oregon. The national No. 11 Cardinal took down both No. 3 BYU and defending national champion No. 2 Syracuse along the way, falling only to top-ranked Northern Arizona.
National No. 4 Oregon swept the team and individual titles at Pre-Nationals, defeating No. 5 Arkansas and No. 6 Colorado behind a decisive win by three-time national champion Edward Cheserek.
UCLA, a surprise sixth-place finisher at Wisconsin, moved up two spots to No. 3 in the West, while Portland fell to fourth.
Meanwhile in the Southeast Region, it was Virginia that assumed control of the top spot. The Cavaliers took command of the region after former regional favorite Eastern Kentucky dropped four spots to No. 5 with disappointing split-squad showings at both Wisconsin and Pre-Nationals.
Also moving up to fill the void left by the Colonels’ drop were No. 2 Virginia Tech, No. 3 Kentucky and No. 4 Furman. The latter two moved up three and five spots, respectively. Should the third-ranked Wildcats break through and qualify for NCAAs, it would be their first appearance since 2003 and just the second since 1992.
The Great Lakes Region also saw its top-ranked team falter this weekend, as former favorite Indiana finished fifth at Pre-Nationals. The Hoosiers dropped four spots to No. 5 as a result, opening the door for Wisconsin to move up one spot and reclaim the top spot.
The Badgers were 11th at their home Nuttycombe Wisconsin Invitational, while Pre-Nationals fourth-placing Michigan moved up to No. 2. Eastern Michigan turned in a 17th-place showing at Wisconsin to move to third in the region.
No other teams moved into automatic qualifying position within their regions, but Navy moved up onto the bubble at No. 3 in the Mid-Atlantic.

First impressions – Johnny Dutch

Johnny Dutch is among the world’s best 400m hurdlers. Here the 2014 US champion answers our first impressions questions.

First race

I started track when I was aged 10 in 1999. I recall one of my first races was running the 100m for my summer track team – Junior Striders in Raleigh – at the same track I train on today at St Augustine’s University, Raleigh. I was so nervous and then all of a sudden I start peeing on myself. The guy besides me was laughing, it was so embarrassing. Then the gun goes off and the race was a huge blur. I don’t think many people noticed my accident, except for my competitors. I guess it wasn’t meant to be that I would become a 100m runner!

First coach

His name is Aaron McDougal. He was coaching my sister and after he saw me run over a hurdle, he quickly started coaching me. I was coached by Aaron for about four years from the ages of 10 to 14. To be trained by him was a bit like being coached by the karate trainer in the movie The Karate Kid. He was into gardening and he would give me chores to do. I would tidy up his basement and he would pay me $20. He taught me a lot of things both on and off the track.

First sport

I was very athletic and I was a very good baseball player in my younger days. I remember I got MVP (most valuable player) for a couple of seasons, but I later stopped playing because of my track commitments.

First international athletics competition

I was aged 16 when I travelled on the US scholastic team to compete in Puerto Rico. It was a lot of fun and a lot of top names featured in that team such as Ashton Eaton and Bianca Knight. I loved Puerto Rico. The beaches were beautiful and the food was really good. I also won the 400m hurdles when competing there.

First media interview

It was a disaster. I won a few state titles at high school and I remember the local news channel interviewed me for a feature on the track. I was so nervous. They asked me a lot of questions and I didn’t know how to answer them. I later found the interview online, it is so embarrassing. I look back now and think, ‘did I even go to school?’

First piece of clothing ever bought

I didn’t grow up with the Jordan (shoes). I never had a pair growing up, not even through college, so when I signed my first shoe contract in 2010, I bought a pair.

First thing learned to cook

Mashed potatoes. The process started by boiling them and then putting in the right amount of milk and butter. My first experience was horrible, although over time I got good at it.

First car

My first coach Aaron McDougal drove around in a 1992 red Cherokee jeep and then in my junior year at high school he gave me it as a gift. To me, back then, it was like receiving a Lamborghini. I love that man. He has always been a good example to me.

First athletics disappointment

The first disappointment that hit home was not making the 2008 Olympic team. I was aged only 19, but I’ve always been very ambitious. I finished fifth but it was a very close race for third (the final automatic Olympic qualification spot and I was only 0.10 from third). I set a PB in that race (48.52), but I was devastated that I would have to wait another four years in an effort to qualify.

First athletics hero

I would say Felix Sanchez. He has always had a special connection with the hurdles and he was like the Edwin Moses of the early 2000s. His story is very inspirational. I’ve met him he has given me a lot of advice. He was my hero growing up.

Tom Moore (track)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jump to: navigation, search
For other people named Thomas Moore, see Thomas Moore (disambiguation).
Tom Moore (April 14, 1914 in Berkeley, California– May 10, 2002) was a National Track and Field Hall of Fametrack and field promoter, known for his decades of service as meet director of the Modesto Relays.
As a hurdler for the University of California, Moore tied the world record in the 120 yard high hurdles (the Imperial distance equivalent to the 110 metre hurdles) at 14.2.[1] Prior to running a Berkeley, he had run for Sacramento City College where he was coached by L.D. Weldon. Both became early members of that institution's Hall of Fame.[2] He was the 1935 United States Champion in the 400 metres hurdles.[3] Sports Illustrated shows a picture of him in Milan, Italy during the 1935 European season, helping carry injured sprinting prodigy Eulace Peacock off the track.[4]
Toward the end of his running career in 1942, he was asked to help with a start up track and field event at Modesto Junior College. Moore served as the starter for the first meet for all but one race . . . the high hurdles, which he won. He had his running shorts on under his uniform and hastily changed to run.[5] He gained a reputation as a top track and field official.
For most of its 67-year run in Modesto Moore's name would go on to become synonymous with the event called the Modesto Relays. Moore did almost everything else to make the meet what it became, from attracting top name talent to adjusting the lights toward the track (rather than just the football field). Moore found sponsorship from S&W Foods that brought notoriety to the otherwise sleepy Central Valley town. When S&W dropped its sponsorship in 1994, Moore found a new sponsor in Coca Cola.
At that first meet in 1942, "Dutch" Warmerdam set a world record in the pole vault with a bamboo pole. More than a decade later, Double Olympic Gold medalist, Bob Richards negotiated a $75 cash bonus, if he broke the meet record, which Moore agreed to. When Richards arrived, he discovered the meet record was the world record, which he never achieved in his career.
He served as head of the United States Olympic Committee's task force to select a bidding city for the 2012 Summer Olympics.
He was elected into the National Track and Field Hall of Fame as an Event Director in 1988.[6] In 2007, he was given the Howard Schmertz Lifetime Achievement Award by the U.S. Track Meet Directors Association.[7] After his death in 2004, the Modesto Relays was renamed the "Tom Moore Modesto Relays."[8]

IOC sanctions two athletes for failing anti-doping test at London 2012
The protection of clean athletes and the fight against doping are top priorities for the International Olympic Committee (IOC), as outlined in Olympic Agenda 2020, the IOC’s strategic roadmap for the future of the Olympic Movement. To provide a level playing field for all clean athletes at the Olympic Games Rio 2016, the IOC put special measures in place, including targeted pre-tests and the re-analysis of stored samples from the Olympic Games Beijing 2008 and London 2012, following an intelligence-gathering process that started in August 2015.
As part of this process, the IOC today announced that two athletes have been disqualified from the Olympic Games London 2012. The details follow.
Apti AUKHADOV, 23, of the Russian Federation, competing in Men’s 85 kg weightlifting event, has been disqualified from the Olympic Games London 2012, in which he ranked second and was awarded the silver medal. Re-analysis of Aukhadov’s samples from London 2012 resulted in a positive test for the prohibited substances Dehydrochlormethyltestosterone (turinabol) and Drostanolone. 
The IOC Disciplinary Commission, composed for this case of Denis Oswald (Chairman), Juan Antonio Samaranch and Ugur Erdener, decided the following:
  1. The Athlete, Apti Aukhadov:
    1. is found to have committed an anti-doping rule violation pursuant to the IOC Anti-Doping Rules applicable to the Games of the XXX Olympiad in London in 2012 (presence, and/or use, of a Prohibited Substance or its Metabolites or Markers in an athlete’s bodily specimen),
    2. is disqualified from the event in which he participated upon the occasion of the Olympic Games London 2012, namely the Men’s 85 kg weightlifting event, in which he ranked second and for which he was awarded the silver medal.
    3. has the medal, the medallist pin and the diploma obtained in the Men’s 85 kg weightlifting event withdrawn and is ordered to return these.
  2. The IWF is requested to modify the results of the above-mentioned event accordingly and to consider any further action within its own competence.
  3. The Russian Olympic Committee shall ensure full implementation of this decision.
  4. The Russian Olympic Committee shall in particular secure the return to the IOC, as soon as possible, of the medal, the medallist pin and the diploma awarded in connection with the Men’s 85 kg weightlifting event to the Athlete.
  5. This decision enters into force immediately.


Maksym MAZURYK, 33, of Ukraine, competing in the Men’s Pole Vault event (qualification, group A), has been disqualified from the Olympic Games London 2012, in which he ranked 18th. Re-analysis of Mazuryk’s samples from London 2012 resulted in a positive test for the prohibited substance dehydrochlormethyltestosterone (turinabol). 
The IOC Disciplinary Commission, composed for this case of Denis Oswald (Chairman), Juan Antonio Samaranch and Ugur Erdener, decided the following:
  1. The Athlete, Maksym Mazuryk:
    1. is found to have committed an anti-doping rule violation pursuant to the IOC Anti-Doping Rules applicable to the Games of the XXX Olympiad in London in 2012 (presence, and/or use, of a Prohibited Substance or its Metabolites or Markers in an athlete’s bodily specimen),
    2. is disqualified from the event in which he participated upon the occasion of the Olympic Games London 2012, namely the Men’s Pole Vault event, in which he ranked 18th.
  2. The IAAF is requested to modify the results of the above-mentioned event accordingly and to consider any further action within its own competence.
  3. The Ukrainian Olympic Committee shall ensure full implementation of this decision.
  4. This decision enters into force immediately.
 
The additional analyses on samples collected during the Olympic Games Beijing 2008 and London 2012 were performed with improved analytical methods, in order to possibly detect prohibited substances that could not be identified by the analysis performed at the time of these editions of the Olympic Games.
