Trapped Like a Rat IV / T and F News!

By now everyone knows that Larry Mangan gets his T and F News weeks before me, so he has gratiously sent me some info to post.  I'm thinking that the Powers-That-Be at T and F News go by all-time best mile times, but then I'm just guessing!

  1. Assuming that is Fawn Dorr you are referencing as the 19th fastest U.S. Womens 400IH...I have been thinking she is Canadian.

  2. All women's hurdles are low also, including the steeple barriers. Which sure could have helped me!

  3. Given that Akron, NY is so close to the Canadian border, we can give you a pass for thinking she was from the land of Tom Walchuk!!!! LTM
