[Lancermania]

Only two athletes from 2022 were able to make the list, Evan Trapp and Isaac Schlachleiter. Woodridge's coach (New Richmond) continues to hang on at #25.

You've got Annie on there as Hefferman, it should be Heffernan.

Thanks for the heads up. Her name should be correct now. I always liked Annie's biomechanics with her low elevation back kick.

There was one time I questioned a coach about the running form of one of his runners He told me you can't change that, That's biomechanics.

In general, yes. Everyone's biomechanics have variations from another's. However, there is room for improvement for everyone. Top level sprinters are noted for focus on improving their mechanics substantially from their earlier years. They do thousands of drills to do so.

Did Heffernan's mechanics resemble those of Salazar with his notorious "shuffling" motion?
