I thought the min. age is 17 (at least to be an official, maybe different because of clinic?)?

If thats the case, then I guess Derrick will "officially" run a 8:40 indoors then this year

edit: i'd actually be pretty happy if Chris actually ran a 3200m indoors.. not a 3k, or 3.4k or 2.8k and whatever else he ran

In most of his races, Chris Derrick has had bad luck with officials not being able to count laps. He ran quite a lot of races one lap short or one lap extra. Don't really know why IllinoisPhotographer mentioned him though, sort of.
