The new issue is up on the front page - the cover is someone that has been there before (and boy, has he ever 'been there', lots of times).

It is a Real good cover photo.

That seems about right -- notice that all those ahead of him not only had great and unique careers (Marion's with a problem), but were Americans, which gave them advantages in making the cover.

For non-American, strictly field eventers?

Reminds me of the cover tally for race walkers, only 100-0.

I remember walk statistician Bob Bowman writing in after a certain 3:49 miler from New Zealand graced the January 1976 AOY issue that "finally there was a WALKER on the cover."


[I always loved that one by Bob.]

Not so fast.

A photo of Henry Laskau breasting the finish line in winning the AAU walk championship was on the "cover" of the November 1951 (vol. 4, # 11,) T&FN.
