I received the following email today. I suggest you all write to the Journal News and let them know you are disappointed in their decision.
Coach Bergmeier
Dear Coaches,
As I'm sure you're aware, the tough economic conditions have forced us
at The Journal News/LoHud.com to make some difficult decisions.
Starting on Saturday, you will notice that we are going to a smaller
newspaper. What that means to us is less space to report news and less space
to feature athletes.
One of the ways we are coping with the reduced space is to change our
policy on dual meets. We will no longer take the top three results in each
event. Only the winner and his/her time/distance will be published.
We will continue to go four deep for the large invitationals.
I understand that this won't be a popular decision, but I want to thank
you in advance for your understanding and cooperation.
