Someone help me out here before I check myself into the Geezer Home for the Terminally Out-of-it . . . didn't it used to be J-U-D-D?!

edit: Aha! I just googled him and the Mt. SAC meet record is held by:

"Hammer 265-4 Judd Logan (New York AC)"

Somewhere along the line he got streamlined.

Perhaps it's just a case of the Alistair "Craig" syndrome.

Google that and you'll see plenty of results, such as:

"Another record came in the men’s 3,000m run, with Irishman Alistair Craig of the University of Arkansas won in 7:45.22 to set a collegiate record."

Gotta drive the media nuts (well, in the above case, it was USATF!)

I've always been a Derrick Jeater fan myself.
