and Jordan Boase has taken his running to outside the U.S. to beat Collins in this 200 and running into a monster headwind. Only a quarter of a second behind the highly regarded Brendan Christian and Paul Hession is a good run. He needed very good but not great deuce runners and he stayed close. A good move by his coach I'd say

Here's some of Jared's starts with "Doc" Patton from June this year

saw both races in cork, connaughton very strong into a big negative wind, and hession definitely a medal candidate in barcelona! and yep boase looks the real thing after competing against good comp. in both races . at last a white american with probably the talent of a kevin little, also glad to see him doing the 200s {clever coach}

a 17 year old Sydney lad I'll watch for next season is Nicholas Hough. This year he has a legal 10.62 / 100 and 13.37 / 110H.

Things sure are different in the younger races. Note that east Africans placed 3rd and 4th, and yet east Africans are not a force at all at this distance on the professional circuit (Olympic heats back in the pre-caste era actually had east Africans sprinters reaching the semi-finals). Also, the Latin-country runners making the final. Note also that except for the two USA runners, there were no runners of predominantly west African descent.

Four runners white, and another largely white.
