Thanks, gh et al. Getting the AOY and event rankings in my e-mail this morning made the day after Thanksgiving another day to give thanks! This whole internet thing is working out rather nicely.

Full agreement.

Re: World Rankings On-line

In the five events: 100, 200, 400, 110H and 400H, the US men have 25 (!) rankers.

In the five events: 800, 1500, St, 5K and 10K
the US men have 0 (!) rankers.

It CANNOT be a matter of lack of talent. The body types and twitch fibers may be very different, but you can't tell me we couldn't at least get a couple of 800 types in there.

5 shot putters and 0 HT or JT. The list goes on.

And here's your rankings trivia question: A male ranker and a female ranker have two-letter last names - who are they?

But I did all right in guessing the rankings:

100: 2-1-4-3-5
200: 1-2-3-4-5 !!
400: 2-1-3-4
HJ: 1-2-3-4-6-5
PV: 1-2-3-4 !

The IAAF ranks Krummenacker 10th in the 800meters.

The US also had no women who ranked in distance events from 800m on up.

IAAF takes indoors into account in the 800, TFN does not
