You can not make a person now running who is trying to break a record which 
used 5 miles to do it a shorter course..If that's what you are suggesting.. 
Many records set over 175 could not be reached on a shorter course especially 
ones over 200. This has been discussed many times at Board meetings.
A 3rd course for over 225 is fine; but anyone qualifying at 175 in the 1/4 must 
continue to be allowed to go five miles. I my opinion that extra course would 
spend most its time empty after the first 2 days
