The president of Jamaican Track and Field died on the night of Thursday November 10, 2011. Howard Aris was a very influential man in Jamaica and he will be missed. Aris has been at the head of Jamaican athletics that produced the best times in sprinting history. i am sure that his presence, guidance and leadership wil be greatly missed by everyone in the world of track and field.

Worldwide T&F community expresses shock at Howard Aris' passing
Lukas Verzbicas
Lukas Verzbicas has decided to leave the University of Oregon to focus on his dream of the 2012 Olympics on triathlon. Verzbicas is the 2011 World Junior Triathlete Champion. He tweeted "Decided to pursue my olympic dream and dedicate myself fully as a triathlete with the intention of making the 2012 USA Olympic team." then also tweeted "Thank you to University of Oregon, coaches, and teammates for the unmatched experience and support. I wish you nothing but the best of luck."
I believe that this is a good move for Verzbicas. Even though he is a great runner he has more potential to make the USA's Olympic team in triathlon than track and field. Especially since he is the reigning World Junior champion in triathlon. Along with everyone else that has followed track and field i wish him the best of luck in his preparations and hopefully he makes the olympic team.
Here is the full story from the USA Triathlon website.
