Women's TJ

I have been looking at your ranking all year and I still do not understand the ranking for the women's Tj. How is it that Forde from Louisville is ranked and Highsmith form UConn is not. Both athletes are in the Big East Conf. . . and Forde has never beaten Highsmith in conf. . . or out of conf. . . competition. For the past two years since Forde has been competing for Louisville, Highsmith has won All Four Big East TJ Titles. Highsmith also beaten her at the 2008 NCAA Indoor Championships, 2008 Penn Relays and Every out of Conf. . . competition for the past two years. The 2008 NCAA Indoor All American Triple Jumper form Connecticut is rank higher on the national list and also has a better Personal Best in the event than Forde. So please help me and others understand how can an All American and Conf. . . Champion (With a Better Life Time Best) is rank lower than someone form the same Conf. . . that has never beaten her head to head.

Steeple

I don\'t understand the logic in the steeple. Jenny Barringer is going to beat Irene Kimaiyo? Irene was victorious at Jenny\'s HOME track at ALTITUDE and at CONFERENCE, that is a championship race. Plus, Irene keeps getting better and better since she has never ran the steeple until this year. She has a lot more upside. Maybe I\'m wrong, but I think Kimaiyo has the edge on all fronts.

I think Barringer's 9:44 at regionals just answered your skepticism. :-)
