Trousil’s Record doesn’t Count says Drake Relays

From Drake Athletic Communications:

“TROUSIL FOR THREE
West Burlington/Notre Dame’s Isaiah Trousil joined elite company on Friday on the Blue Oval, becoming the fourth prep to win three-straight Drake Relays titles in the boys’ 100 meters. Trousil joins Des Moines North’s Clyde Duncan (1962-64), Davenport North’s Marques Simmons (1999-2001) and Cedar Falls’ James Harrington (2010-12) as sprinters that won three-straight crowns in the 100. His time of 10.53, which occurred with a +2.1 m/s wind,  is the fastest time in state history under all conditions, but due to the wind Friday, Harrington’s Drake Relays’ record of 10.61 still stands.”

Environmentalists Are Dead Wrong, Just Look at Their Past Predictions

Click here: Hoodwinking Americans is part of the environmentalist agenda. Environmental activist Stephen Schneider told Discover magazine in 1989: “We have to offer up scary scenarios, make simplified, dramatic statements, and make little mention of any doubts we might have. … Each of us has to decide what the right balance is between being effective and being honest.” In 1988, then-Sen. Timothy Wirth, D-Colo., said: “We’ve got to … try to ride the global warming issue. Even if the theory of global warming is wrong … we will be doing the right thing anyway in terms of economic policy and environmental policy.”
