March 11: Tim Harden crowned Indoor king
The runners went into the blocks five
times for naught - three false starts called on a total of six competitors, plus two more stand-ups. Finally, on
the sixth go around, the race received a legal start with seven runners, as Nigeria's Deji Aliu, the Maebashi fifth
placer, had fallen afoul of the two false-start rule.
The seven all came away virtually together, and only at the halfway point did Tim Harden of the US show a noticeable
advantage. His teammate, Tim Montgomery, did everything possible to pull even, but the race belonged to Harden
in his seas
onal best of 6.44. It represented
a one-medal advance for the Maebashi silver winner. Montgomery's 6.46 for second was a personal best, as was the
6.51 for 18-year-old Mark Lewis-Francis of Britain, the fastest time ever recorded indoors for a junior.
Behind the medal winners, a pair of widely separated mini-races were unfolding. Freddy Mayola of Cuba and Australia's
Matt Shirvington both clocked 6.55, with the Cuban getting the edge on the photo. And Tim Goebel's 6.59 clipped
Yeoryios Theodoridis's 6.60 for sixth.

March 10: Kim Collins completes NCAA double
Kim Collins of Texas Christian Univeristy, completed a sprint double by winning the 60 tonight to go with his
20.55 in the 200. His time tonight was 6.58, which edged Mississippi's James Shelton who ran 6.61. Ja'Warren Hooker,
who won the race in 1999 was third. Tennesse's Leonard Scott, who had run 6.56 in the heats, ran injured in the
final and limped in 6th in 6.78. Collins, who represented St.Kitts at the 2000 Olympics is the first man
to ever complete the sprint double at the NCAA Indoor Championships. He will look to repeat, outdoors at the NCAA's
in Eugene in early June.
The NCAA Indoors will air on ESPN on March 22 at 2pm eastern.

March 10: Shawn Crawford - World Champion
from IAAF.org: Shawn Crawford, running in lane four, needed 150 metres to make up the stagger
advantage of Britain's Christian Malcolm, running immediately to his outside. Once that had been accomplished,
Crawford rode his acceleration on into the finish with a winning time of 20.63.
Malcolm's silver-medal performance was timed in 20.76, as Patrick van Balkom of the Netherlands took the bronze
in 20.96. The 1997 world indoor champion, Kevin Little of the US, who had been assigned lane six, was forced to
withdraw from the final after sustaining an injury to his left leg in the closing metres of yesterday's semifinal
race.
For the first two rounds of the 200 metres, only lanes three through six were used, because of the disadvantage
created by the tight curves of the interior lanes in a one-lap race.
However, for today's final, all six lanes were used because of the need to award prize money to six places. That
being the case, Christopher Williams of Jamaica and Allyn Condon of Great Britain fulfilled their roles in a self-fulfilling
prophecy by taking the last two places in 21.12 and 21.69, respectively.

March 9
: Kim Collins of TCU wins NCAA Indoor 200m
On friday night, Kim Collins of TCU won the first leg what he hopes will be a successful sprint double at the
2001 NCAA Indoor Championships at the Randal Tyson Track Center in Fayetteville, Ark. Collins, an Olympic finalist
in the 100 metres, took the title in 20.55 seconds, just a hundreth ahead of Washington's Ja'Warren Hooker. Tennesse's
Leonard Scott was third in 20.61. The championship was Collins' first in the NCAA after placing third in this event
in 2000. All eight men in the field went under 21 seconds. On saturday, Collins will go for the 60 metre title,
but Scott is the favourite with two 6.48 clockings this season.

March 3: Maurice Greene and Coby Miller: National Champions
Maurice
Greene wanted "to do something great" at the USA Indoor Track and Field Championships. And that's what
he did.
The Olympic 100-meter gold medalist and world record-holder tied his world record in the 60-meter dash, running
6.39 seconds in a semifinal heat. About 1 1-2 hours later, Greene won the final at 6.51. The final was marred by
three false starts, the last against Greene. After his infraction, the angry Greene punched the air in disgust
with his right hand and stalked back to the starting line. The false start obviously unnerved him.
Instead of bolting out of the blocks the way he did in the semifinals, Greene got a relatively slow start in the
final, and finished with a narrow victory over Tim Harden, runner-up at 6.53.
"I wanted to run 6.37," Greene said, "but I missed the start a little."
Greene tuned up for the final by tying the world record in the semifinals, winning easily by about 1 metre although
slowing slightly
at the end.
"I came here to entertain my fans," Greene said, displaying his usual confident bounce and bravado, similar
to a fighter entering the ring. Greene called his only appearance of the indoor season a prelude to an attempt
at his world outdoor record of 9.79 in the 100.
"I have to do things to motivate myself," he said. "At the beginning of the year, I thought I wanted
to break the world record outdoors. To do that, I have to run the first 60 meters fast."
Although Greene qualified for the U.S. team for next weekend's World Indoor Championships at 
Lisbon, Portugal, he has no intention of competing.
"I didn't even bring my passport here," he said.
Harden and Tim Montgomery, who finished third in 6.56 will represent the U.S. in Lisbon. Defending champion
Jon Drummond was fourth in 6.61.
In the 200 metres, Coby Miller claimed his first American championship, in a time of 20.31 seconds, a personal
best and meet record. Miller's win did come at a price, he was hospitalized with injuries to his left foot after
he was accidentally clipped by third-place finisher Shawn Crawford, the American record-holder at 20.26. Crawford
stumbled at the finish line after
getting entangled with runner-up Kevin Little, then hit Miller.
Little is a world indoor veteran over 200 metres, a champion in Paris in 1997, he has also won three bronze
medals, in 1989, 1993 and at the last championships in 1999.
Miller's 20.31 puts him back on top of the World performance list, ahead of Christian Malcolm of Britain.
Results
March 3: Maurice Greene equals World Record
Maurice Greene has equaled his 60 metre World Record, in qualifying at the U.S. Championships in Atlanta, Georgia.
Greene won his semi-final heat in 6.39 seconds, the same time he clocked in February, 1998 in Madrid. Greene's
teammate and defending champion Jon Drummond won the second semi-final in 6.59 seconds. Greene goes after his first
US Indoor title in the final this afternoon at the Georgia Dome.

March 1: Greene
lured to championships meet in Atlanta
ATLANTA (March 1, 2001) - A shot at the world indoor 60-meter record and a chance to entertain his fans have
lured Maurice Greene to this weekend's USA Track and Field Championships.
At the start of the year, Greene had no intention of competing in the two-day championships at the Georgia Dome,
which start Friday. But then a meet in Los Angeles was canceled. It had been the only planned indoor competition
for the Olympic 100-meter gold medalist and world record-holder.
Greene decided to squeeze in the national championships between some hectic traveling. Last weekend, Greene was
in the Caribbean for a magazine commitment, returning to his Granada Hills, Calif., home Monday. He stayed there
for two days, before flying south again to Atlanta.
"He's in shape, he's ready to run," financial adviser Emmanuel Hudson said.
Hudson tried convincing Greene that he did not need to compete in the championships, especially since he has no
intention of defending his 60-meter title at next week's World Indoor Championships at Lisbon, Portugal. The first
two finishers in each event at the USA Championships qualifies for the U.S. team at the worlds.
"He has no plans to go to the worlds, just like he had no plans to go to nationals," Hudson said, laughing.
While Hudson was joking, Greene was emphatic about not running at Lisbon.
"No worlds," he said Thursday. "They're not in my plans. I didn't even bring my passport with me.
"I wasn't even going to run indoors at all, but I had to find something to motivate me. I've been thinking
about the outdoor world record (in the 100), and how I can break it. I have to come through the first 60 very fast,
so I want to challenge myself here. I want to do something great.
"The main reason I came here is to break the world record. I know I'll be criticized if I don't do it, but
people won't be able to say I didn't try."
Hudson also knows that the energetic and vibrant sprinter likes to strut his ability before an audience, so nothing
Greene does surprises him.
"He wants to attempt the indoor record," Hudson said. "There's no need to put that pressure on yourself.
I don't think he needs it, but I'd never bet against him. Besides, he likes to be in front of the public."
Greene set the indoor record of 6.39 seconds at Madrid, Spain, on Feb. 3, 1998. He narrowly missed the record,
running 6.40 in a semifinal heat during the national championships at the Georgia Dome on Feb. 27, 1999, then finished
second to Tim Harden in the final. Greene has five of the six-fastest times in the 60, but he has yet to win the
national indoor title, another goal.
This will be Greene's first race since he and his winning 400-meter relay teammates were roundly criticized for
preening, flexing their muscles and posing with the American flag wrapped around them at the Sydney Games. Greene
admitted that the bad publicity "hurt my reputation for a while, until I got out in the public."
"Then, a lot of people said it was OK what I did," Greene added. "The biggest thing I did was apologize.
Hopefully, it won't happen again, but you never know what's going to happen. It wasn't planned.
"A lot of people say just treat the flag with respect. I know. My father was in the Army. I love my country."
February 26: Greene set to run at U.S. Indoors
Reigning 60m indoor world champion
and world record holder Maurice Greene will compete in the United States Indoor Athletics Championships in Atlanta
Saturday, USA Track and Field announced Monday.
Olympic and world 100m champion Greene has skipped the U.S. indoor season. But with a top-two 60m finish, he would
claim a chance to defend his 60m world indoor crown March 9-11 in Lisbon, Portugal.
Greene set the 60m indoor world record of 6.39 seconds in 1998. He also owns the 100m outdoor world mark of 9.79
seconds. Greene has won the past two world 100m outdoor titles and is also the reigning world 200m outdoor champion.
Greene's matchup with U.S. indoor season sprint king Terrence Trammell figures to be the men's highlight of the
meet.
February 25: Leonard Scott dominant at SEC Indoors
After shocking many in qualifying, Tennesse's Leonard Scott came right back on sunday and laid down another
amazing 60m time. Scott led qualyfing at the SEC Indoor Championships in Lexington, KY on Saturday and was successful
in the finals. He repeated his 6.48 clocking in the final, finishing ahead of teammates Justin Gatlin and Sean
Lambert who finished second and third in 6.63 and 6.67 seconds respectively. Scott and Gatlin currently stand 1-2
in the NCAA performance lists and will be challenged by TCU's Kim Collins, among others at the NCAA Indoors from
March 11-12 in Fayetteville, AK. Scott's 6.48 is also good enough for second fastest in the world this year.
The 200m looked simaler to the 60, with Leonard Scott defeating Justin Gatlin by slimmer margin, 20.47 to 20.58.
Scott's time was one to admire, as previous to today it would have been the fastest in the world this year, but
earlier in the day Christian Malcolm of Great Britain sprinted to a 20.46 clocking. Mississipi State's Pierre Browne
finished third in 21.13 seconds.

February 25: Aliu, Miller and Malcolm impress in Lievin, Goebel victorious in Germany
Five great sprints took place today on the final leg of the four event Energizer Indoor Euroseries in Lievin,
France. The action started with American Tim Montgomery winning for the third time in as many 60m races. Montgomery
won the 1st heat in 6.63 seconds, ahead of fellow American Greg Saddler who sprinted 6.67. Montgomery did not return
for the final as he was not in contention for the Energizer championship after only running (and winning) in Ghent
after missing Stockholm and Birmingham. Heat 'B' featured Deji Aliu of Nigeria, who had finished 4th in Stockholm,
3rd in Birmingham and 2nd in Ghent. He advanced to the final, winning heat 'B' in 6.60 seconds. The final had no
shortage of excitement, as in the three preivous meets, and it was Aliu coming home with the win, in 6.55 seconds.
Americans Saddler and Coby Miller followed in 6.56 and 6.59 seconds. The order of finish was the same as the final
Energizer Standings with Aliu as the victor.
Deji Aliu and Tim Montgomery also won heats in the men's 50 metres. Aliu took the final of the 50 in 5.65 seconds,
which was his fourth race of the day.
In the 200m,
Christian Malcolm of Great Britain lost his claim of having of having the world leading time in 2001 but regained
it shortly. In the 'A' 200m race Coby Miller, who has broken both the 10 and 20 second barriers outdoors, set a
world-leading mark of 20.55, bettering Malcolm's 20.57 set last week in Birmingham. In a seperate race, Malcolm
returned the favour and sprinted to a victory in 20.46, bettering Miller's time. Christopher Williams of Jamaica
beat Malcolm, running 20.45, but a lane violation disqualified Williams and left Malcolm with a world-leading time.
If Coby Miller can battle the fatigue of racing 5-6 times a week in Europe and qualify for the the world indoors
at the U.S. Championships next weekend, it should be a good showdown in Lisbon between Malcolm, Miller and
Williams.
Also in Europe, 18 year old Tim Goebel won the German Championship 60 metres in 6.58 seconds. Holger
Blume took home 200 metre honours in 21.01 seconds. Goebel now has his sights set on Lisbon. "I want to reach
the final in Lisbon and then we will see what happens".
February 24: Leonard Scott 6.48!
Tennesse's Leonard Scott looks to be the odds on favourite to win the 60 metre dash at the SEC Indoors tommorow
in Lexington. Scott, who owns the ninth fastest 100m run all-time in all conditions at 9.83 (in 1999, wind:
7.1) ran a thundering 6.48 to lead qualifying for tommorow's final. With his 6.48 clocking, Scott became only the
19th man to break the 6.5 barrier. The next fastest man in 60m qualifying was Scott's Tennesse teammate Justin
Gatlin who won his heat in 6.61 seconds.
Scott and Gatlin returned to the Lexington track and tore it up in the qualifying for the 200m dash. Gatlin
led the way with a 20.52 clocking, followed by Scott's 20.70. On sunday, the Tennesse duo have a great chance to
go 1-2 in both sprints.
February 17: Trammell
demolishes field in Pocatello
Terrance Trammell continues to show he is the dominant force on the indoor circuit in 2001 and has made himself
a clear favourite for the World Indoors in Lisbon in less than a month. Today in Pocatello, Idaho, Trammell bettered
his world best over 60 metres to a blistering 6.45 seconds.
A distant second behind Trammell was Millrose Games champion Bernard Williams in 6.61, followed by Kaaron Conwright
in 6.63. The defending champion at the Simplot Games in Idaho was Jon Drummond, making his 2001 debut he finished
fourth in 6.68 seconds. Trammell previously held the year's fastest mark at 6.52.
"I just wanted to react well to the gun" said Trammell "I wanted to come out here and perform
after all the traveling I've been doing." Trammell left his home of Columbia, S.C. early Friday afternoon
to travel to the meet but did not arrive in Pocatello until 6:45 a.m. Saturday.
Trammell also won the 60m hurdles in 7.66 seconds. Trammell won a silver medal in the 110 metre hurdles at the
2000 Olympics in Sydney.
February 15: Simplot Games Preview
The Pontiac Grand Prix men’s 60 metres matches the fastest man in the world so far this season, Terrence Trammell,
against the defending U.S. indoor champion, Jon Drummond, and the winners of the first two Golden Spike Tour meets
- Bernard Williams and Tim Harden. Williamss and Harden are already eligible to win the Pontiac Grand Prix Cup in
the 60, and Trammell is eligible by virtue of winning the 60 hurdles at the Millrose Games and the Tyson Invitational.
Drummond, the Olympic 4x100m gold medalist, is among the best in the world in the 60 and will test his fitness
in Pocatello on February 16.
February 14: Ato Boldon to compete in South Africa
Four-time Olympic medallist Ato Boldon is to begin his outdoor campaign in South Africa in March.
The Trinidad and Tobago sprinter is named among athletes such as Virgilijus Alekna, Kelly Holmes and Iwan Thomas
who have agreed to compete in the three-meeting Engen Grand Prix. Boldon plans to race over 100 metres - the distance
at which he took Olympic silver in Sydney - in the IAAF Grand Prix II meeting in Pretoria on 23rd March .
He will then move on to Stellenbosch seven days later for the series final where he will line up in the longer
sprint. The tour will begin in Roodepoort on 16th March.
Boldon, who was expected to win the 200 metres in Sydney but only took bronze, will embark on trying to finally
fulfill his potential at that distance in August's World Championships in Edmonton.

February 2: Bernard Williams wins Millrose Games 60
Many of the past Millrose Games 60 metres champions have gone on to great things and
on friday night at Madison Square Garden, Bernard Williams added his name to the list of great Millrose Games champions.
In a field with no returning champions, it was wide-open for one of America's bright young stars to step into the
spotlight and Bernard Williams did just that. Williams, in his first 60 metre race as a pro was out of the blocks
well with fellow American and 60 metre specialist Tim Harden but Williams held off the challenge and won in 6.61
seconds. Harden was second in 6.65 seconds, followed by Coby Miller who ran 6.67. Bernard Williams won an olympic
gold medal last september in Sydney as a member of the American 4x100m relay team.
