PACIFIC-10 CONFERENCE OUTDOOR TRACK AND FIELD ATHLETES OF THE WEEK
WALNUT CREEK, Calif. -- Pacific-10 Conference outdoor track and field athlete of the week honors for the week of
April 20-26:
Men’s Track Athlete of the Week: MICHAEL COE, CALIFORNIA (So., Lompoc, Calif.) - At the Brutus Hamilton
Invitational, Coe broke the school record in the mile and set the fastest collegiate, U.S. and third-fastest time in the
world this season with a time of 3:56.18. Coe surpassed David Torrence’s record time of 3:58.62 for the school record.
Torrence took second in the race at 3:57.04. The previous NCAA-best time was 4:01.38 and the previous best U.S. time
was 3:58.90. That time converts into a nation-leading 3:37.98 at 1500 meters.
Men’s Field Athletes of the Week: ASHTON EATON, OREGON (Jr., Bend, Ore.) - Eaton won the decathlon Friday
at the Oregon Relays by scoring a nation-leading 8,023 points. It was Eaton’s third straight decathlon of 8,000 points
or better, going back to the NCAA Championships last June (8,055) and the U.S. Olympic Trials (8,122). Eaton is the
defending Pac-10 and NCAA decathlon champion, as well as the 2009 NCAA indoor heptathlon champion. Eaton set
a personal best in the 110 hurdles (14.08) and the high jump (6-8.75). He also neared lifetime bests in the 100 meters
(10.66), 400 meters (47.25), long jump (24-10.5), discus (125-7) and javelin (176-2).
Women’s Track Athlete of the Week: KIMYON BROOM, CALIFORNIA (Jr., Inglewood, Calif.) - At the Brutus Hamilton
Invitational, Broom set the school record in the 100-meter hurdles. Her time of 13.08 surpassed her previous
school record-setting time of 13.17, which she set in the prelims at the Pac-10 Championships last year. The time currently
leads the Pac-10 and ranks seventh in the NCAA this season.
Women’s Field Athlete of the Week: RACHEL YURKOVICH, OREGON (Sr., Newberg, Ore.) - Yurkovich defended
her Oregon Relays title in the women’s javelin with a throw of 186-5 (56.82). Yurkovich is the defending NCAA champion,
and the three-time defending Pac-10 champion. Her mark of 190-11 (58.20), set March 27, currently ranks second
on the national season-best list.

High School / Youth Steeple opportunities
Oregon Relays results included high school boys and girls 2000m
steeple in 2008 but only boys this year. High school steepling was
held as early as 1994 in California but, despite inclusion in USA
high school rules book since 1999, seems to have declined on the
USA Pacific Coast. However, it is growing elsewhere – from New
Mexico to New York and on a national level via summer meets of
AAU, USATF, and Nike Outdoor Nationals. Young girl steeplers
also have good racing opportunities in Australia, Canada, Great
Britain, New Zealand, much of Europe, and other nations.

John Ogden Lipsey Jr. USATF Official Cottonwood, CA

It was a great shock for me to hear of John's death at the Brutus Hamilton Memorial Inviational in Berkeley this weekend. We were both born in 1941. He made a great contribution to the sport of track and field.

Obituary
John Ogden Lipsey Jr.
7 April 1941 - 10 April 2009 Cottonwood, California
John Ogden Lipsey, Junior, born 7 April 1941 in Ridley Park, Pennsylvania, to his parents John Ogden Lipsey, Senior and Margaret Reed (Dieffenbach) Lipsey, passed away on 10 April 2009.
John Lipsey, Jr. was raised and attended schools in North East, Maryland, playing two sports, soccer and basketball. He moved to Orono, Maine and attended the University of Maine. It was at the University that John discovered his passion for the sport of track and field, joining the team as an NCAA athlete and majoring in Geology. He graduated in 1964. After graduation, he moved to Knoxville, Tennessee, and enrolled in the University of Tennessee where he did graduate work in Mathematics and served as an Assistant Coach on the track and field team.
As an adult, John Lipsey first worked for DuPont in Old Hickory, Tennessee in the construction field. During a visit with a childhood friend on the Olympic peninsula, he fell in love with the woods of Washington state and rural life. He hurried to move far to the west and a life in the lumber industry in Aberdeen, Washington in 1966. It was there that he met and fell in love with his future wife, Sandra Sue Boyd, and the two were married in 1969. Their union gave them two children, Chris and Curtis Lipsey.
Through thick and thin, in a career that spanned the western states of Michigan, New Mexico and finally settling in Northern California, John Lipsey, Jr. lived and loved life. He retired from the industry, but not the woods, in 1997 after 31 years of a career he enjoyed. Finished with work, he found the time to revisit and renew his fiery love for track and field. He spent his retirement as a mentor for the Plus One program and a track coach to young students in the Cottonwood area, engineering a training regimen that carried him, and a cadre of young charges, into the hills and the woods he loved. John Lipsey volunteered as a coach for the Cottonwood Junior High team and then as an independent coach for any young athlete who came to him with a love of distance running, guiding many of his runners to the Junior Olympic National Championships. John also became a National Track and Field official in 1997, officiating NCAA events and Olympic qualifiers. He earned NCAA and USATF recognition for his work in the pole vault event.
John Lipsey epitomized the life of a philosopher-coach, pushing his family, his children, his athletes and his peers to be the very best they could be, and in all areas of life. His beliefs, his teachings and his admonitions inspired passionate debate, personal responsibility and integrity throughout his entire life, and in every endeavor.
John Lipsey is survived by his wife of 40 years, Sandy Lipsey; by his sons, Chris Lipsey and his wife, Wanda, Curtis Lipsey and his wife, Lynn; by his siblings, Ted Lipsey and wife, Barbara, sister, Jean Rea and her husband, Jerry; by his two grandchildren, Kenna and Cuinn; by friends and fellows; and by a score of young runners. All of the above made him so very proud and inspired his life, his pursuits and his passions every day.
A viewing will be held from 4 to 6 p.m. on Wednesday, 15 April 2009, at Allen & Dahl Funeral Chapel in Anderson, California. Memorial services will be held at 12:00 p.m. on Thursday, 16 April 2009 at Allen & Dahl Funeral Chapel in Palo Cedro, Leo Jordan, officiating. A reception to celebrate John Lipsey's life and memory will be held at Cottonwood Community Center following services at 3:00 p.m. on Thursday, 16 April, 2009.
In lieu of flowers, the Lipsey family has designated Type 1 diabetes research at the Burnham Institute for Medical Research for memorial funds.

100th Drake Relays



INDIANAPOLIS - U.S. stars Stephanie Brown Trafton, Jeremy Wariner, Lolo Jones, Adam Nelson, Alan Webb, Christian Cantwell and Michelle Carter will headline the 100th running of the Drake Relays on the campus of Drake University in Des Moines, Iowa.


The second event of the 2009 USA Track & Field Outdoor Visa Championship Series, the 100th Drake Relays will be televised April 26 from 2 p.m.-3:30 p.m. Eastern Time on ESPN2.


This year's Drake Relays, being held April 22-25 at Drake Stadium, will feature 113 events, including 20 invitational events in addition to high school and college competitions. Athletes from 66 countries will be competing in the meet, including 70 from Canada, 68 from Kenya and 49 from Jamaica. Officials expect 7,392 athletes, representing 616 teams, will participate Thursday, Friday, and Saturday at Drake Stadium.

Wariner to run 400 meters

A competitor in the invitational 200 meters in his last two Drake Relays appearances in 2006 and 2007, 2004 Olympic 400m gold medalist Jeremy Wariner will compete in his specialty Saturday at the Drake Relays.

Ranked #1 in the world at 400 meters from 2004-2007, Wariner owns two Olympic gold medals in the 4x400m relay, and was the silver medalist in the 400 meters at the 2008 Olympics in Beijing. Top women's entrant is 2008 World Indoor bronze medalist Shareese Woods.

Jones headlines 100m hurdles field

Des Moines nativeand crowd favorite Lolo Jones, the 2008 World Indoor champion, will seek her fifth straight Drake Relays title in the Asics Women's 100m hurdles, in which she posted a meet record 12.72 clocking in 2007. Jones, who won 10 of her 17 meets overall last year, including the Olympic Trials in Eugene, Ore., ended the 2008 season ranked #1 in the world.

Jones will face a strong challenge from 2003 world champion Perdita Felicien of Canada, who returns to the Drake Relays for the first time since 2005. Felicien is the owner of five Drake Relays individual career titles and was named the outstanding women's performer of the 2002 and 2003 Drake Relays. In the men's hurdles, two-time defending Drake championand #5 world-rankedAnwar Moore, who set a record of 13.39 seconds in winning the men's invitational 110 hurdles in 2005, leads the field.

Webb returns to Drake Relays

American record holder Alan Webb will return to the Drake Relays to compete in the Visa Men's Mile on Saturday for the first time since setting the Drake Relays invitational mile record of 3:51.71 on April 28, 2007. Later that summer on July 21 he set the American mile record of 3:46.91 in Brasschaat, Belgium. Also in the field are 2006 U.S. indoor 1,500m champion Chris Lukezic and Mexican national record holder Pablo Solares. The women's 1,500m includes top American Sara Hall and 2007 Drake champion Jenelle Deatherage.


Brown Trafton headlines field event action

One of the featured events of the invitational competition at Drake Stadium will be the women's discus, which returns to the Drake Relays for the first time since 1988. Headlining the event will be 2008 Olympic gold medalist Stephanie Brown Trafton, who will take one three-time Olympian and American record holder Suzy Powell-Roos and three-time Olympian Aretha Hill.


Crowd favorite Christian Cantwell, who ended the 2008 season ranked #2 in the world, enters the Drake Relays Visa Men's Shot Put as the defending champion and a six-time winner of the event. The 2008 Olympic silver medalistwill face two-time Olympic silver medalist and 2005 World Outdoor champion Adam Nelson and 2007 World Outdoor champion Reese Hoffa.
The women's invitational shot put will feature America's top four competitors from last season: Olympic Trials champion Michelle Carter, four-time USA indoor champion Jillian Camarena, two-time Olympian Kristin Heaston, and fourth-ranked Liz Wanless.


World leaders featured in high jump competitions

2008 Olympian Chaunte Howard and Texas junior Destinee Hooker both share the 2009 world outdoor lead in the women's high jump with clearances of 1.92 meters/6 feet 3.50 inches. Hooker, who owns the Drake Stadium record of 1.93m/6-4, cleared 1.90m/6-2.75 to win at the 2009 Texas Relays, while Howard cleared that height April 4 at the Tiger Classic in Auburn, Ala. Three-time Olympian Amy Acuff, who set a Drake Relays mark of 1.93m/6-4 in the women's invitational high jump in 2006, will be looking for her fifth career title in that event.


The men's invitational high jump will be headlined by 2008 Olympian Andra Manson, who posted the top outdoor men's high jump in the world this outdoor season at 2.35m/7-8.5 en route to winning the Texas Relays. Manson will face 2008 Olympic Trials champion Jesse Williams (ranked #1 U.S., #6 in the world), 2008 NCAA Indoor champion Dusty Jonas, and veteran Olympians Jamie Nieto and Tora Harris.


Others looking to soar high at the Drake Relays will be the men's pole vaulters led by 2008 Olympic Trials champion and fourth-place finisher at the Beijing Olympics, Derek Miles. He will be challenged by his Beijing Olympic teammate Brad Walker, who is the 2007 World Outdoor champion, 2006 World Indoor champion and the American outdoor record holder (6.04 meters/19 feet 9.75 inches). 2004 Olympic Games gold medalist Tim Mack will be in the field, along with Athens Olympic silver medalist Toby Stevenson. The men's pole vault will take place tonight at the Jordan Creek Town Center Mall in Des Moines.


Drake Relays heptathlon record could fall


2008 U.S. Olympian Jacquelyn Johnson should challenge the Drake Relays heptathlon record of 5,788 points, set in 2008 by Fiona Asigbee, from Columbia, Mo. Johnson owns a personal best of 6,347 points en route to finishing second at the 2008 U.S. Olympic Trials. The last time Johnson stepped on the Drake Stadium track she captured the heptathlon title at the 2008 NCAA Championships with 6,053 points.

Kruger named 2009 USA Indoor weight throw champion


Two-time Olympian and 2008 Olympic Trials hammer throw champion A.G. Kruger has been named the 2009 USA Indoor weight throw champion. It is his fifth national indoor crown, along with his titles from 2003 and '05-'07.


The runner-up at the 2009 USA Indoor Championships in Boston with a best throw of 23.31 meters/76 feet 5.75 inches, Kruger became the national champion following the April 16, 2009 announcement by the United States Anti-Doping Agency (USADA) that original winnerJake Freeman tested positive at the meet on March 1 for the prohibited substance tetrahydrocannabinol acid (THC metabolite), a metabolite of marijuana and/or hashish. On March 25, in addition to forfeiting his win at the Indoor Championships, Mr. Freeman accepted a three (3) month provisional suspension from USADA, which has been reduced to time served because he completed an anti-doping education course.
