    Asafa Powell, 2012 US Open, photo by PhotoRun.netSo, this started as the beginning of Elliott Denman's piece on the U.S. Open, then I decided to rewrite and try and be more inclusive.

We not only respected him, we liked him. Mingey facebooked me last week about a friend of his, a young mother of two, who had started running again and qualified for the Olympic Trials. He thought I might… Full Story »
