We think part of the problem with track and field's lack of popularity is that there is so much action, it's hard to make sense of it all. That's where we hope to come in with our weekly "Week That Was" feature where we recap the relevant action from the previous week and try to put it in perspective.

SICK HS ACTION:
2008 has featured strong high school distance running all year and it continued this week. The biggest surprise came at the Midwest Distance Classic where Robert Finnerty ran a 4:01.09 mile.  It's not like we are saying Finnerty is a nobody as the guy has been a stud for quite a long time.
