Kennedy not concerned record isn't his any more
Posted by TheRunning
As far as Bob Kennedy was concerned, his record had lasted too long anyway. While track and field can sometimes suffer from too much emphasis on times and not enough on competition, Dathan Ritzenhein's time Friday represented a landmark achievement.
Ritzenhein finished third in the 5,000 meters at Zurich, Switzerland, in 12 minutes, 56.27 seconds. That broke the American record of 12:58.21 set by Kennedy, also at Zurich, on Aug. 14, 1996.
“Hoosier State” came into general usage in the 1830s.
John Finley of Richmond wrote a poem, "The Hoosier's Nest," which
was used as the "Carrier's Address" of the Indianapolis Journal,
Jan. 1, 1833. It was widely copied throughout the country and even
abroad. A few days later, on January 8, 1833, at the Jackson Day dinner
at Indianapolis, John W. Davis offered "The Hoosier State of Indiana" as
a toast. And in August, former Indiana governor James B. Ray announced
that he intended to publish a newspaper, The Hoosier, at Greencastle,
Indiana.
