Some comments about his Stanford career for those interested.

Whitaker ran the mile in 4:30 for a new school record
Stanford is in Albuquerque tomorrow and Saturday
Saturday are the Olympic Trials for the Marathon. In the race with a shot is Sara Bei Hall
I guess Whitaker hasn't given up on the 1500 experiment. The 4:30 converts to a 4:10 1500 for most runners. She'll need to run about 4 or 5 seconds faster to win NCAA's.
Will Floyd broke the Stanford freshmen indoor record in the 400 meters, running 46.46. That is fast for a freshman.
All good stuff, but...WOW, that's one helluva run by Floyd.
