Siilats' winning height at NCAAs was the lowest in the recent history of the event. Gyorffy and senior Erin Aldrich of Texas had both jumped in the 1.90's to win the title in the past two years. Aldrich, also a Sydney Olympian, had struggled all year and chose not to compete this season...
...Washington. Inside was a second missive marked "Do not open. Take this envelope unopened to Viktor I. Cherkashin." Hanssen knew well who Cherkashin was: Moscow's chief counterspy at the Soviet embassy, a KGB colonel adept at handling double agents.

Even after Ames' arrest, the mole ferreting went on, leading to the 1996 arrest of CIA employee Harold Nicholson, then of FBI agent Earl Pitts. That...

Only Erin Aldrich of Texas, who beat out Gyorffy at NCAA Outdoors last year, is competitive with Siilats and Gyorffy on the national performance lists. A one-two Harvard finish at the upcoming NCAAs can only be stopped by Aldrich, and by Gyorffy's decision not to compete in the meet...
