To set the tone, the federation took aim at Justin Gatlin’s track coach and indefinitely banned him from its training facilities. Trevor Graham, who trains the 100 meter co-world record holder accused of drug cheat ing, was notified Thursday that he was barred indefi nitely from all Olympic train ing centers in the U.S. Graham became the first coach to receive such a pen alty, “based on the unusual number of athletes he has coached who have been convicted of doping offens es-,” USOC chairman Peter Ueberroth said in a confer ence call. through the losers bracket.” As if on cue, they did - in the finals. With a loss, they were faced with having to beat the Shockers twice, but the runner-up at state sometime earlier, wouldn’t even con cede that.

I’m not trusting no one right now, at this point.” ment, all week, this is the most complete team I’ve ever been associated with. It was just a fantastic week end, a fantastic week.” And in the end, there were a few awards to go around. First off, was Kristen Beattie. She was given the All-World trophy. She played at Warner Robins High School also and Schnable said this was her last tour ney (with the club). • Vehicle Accident? • Back Pain? • Headache?
