False alarm on Peter Snell track comeback

On the Track & Field News Message Board today, someone who goes by the handle “trackhead” posted this about a reported Peter Snell track comeback: “I just got off the phone with Peter and he asked me to set some things straight: He is not, in any way, making any sort of athletics comeback. 8-min miles are all he manages these days, as far as running goes. He will be cheering on the New Zealand masters runners, as well as competing in masters orienteering, a sport in which Peter plans to continue competing for sometime. But no running comeback in any form. Sorry guys.”
