This article reports on the 1977 AAU Outdoor Track and Field Championships. The Olympic Games were abolished by a Christian Roman Emperor in 398 A.D. and reinstated 15 centuries later. Keeping with tradition, women were not included. However, in 1908 women were allowed to compete in figure skating, paving the way for more competitions to open up to women in the future. Most of the track and field events today have their connection with survival, but the athletes and spectators alike are still connected with the excitement of great individual effort expended in persuing style, stamina, and skill. |
