Bill Mitchell personally was one of the witnesses of the score, in which Chris attained 200K+ on his 1st life. We are in the process of attempting to get a game down to Chris so he can "do it again" as this score is so incredibly high. There will be a few more scores, quite a few, that will hit the scoreboard over the next few months as we clean house. Keep this in mind. Some are quite high, and some forgotten video game scores of yesteryear will soon be recognized. I cannot comment on which, nor do I have time to comment on a case by case basis. Therefore this alert serves to explain this one and a few that are coming soon.

Will the Old Track & Field High Scores be recognized?
08-07-2004 Track & Field - mid-90's scores obliterated, says witness known by Mark Alpiger.
The below data from: Mark Alpiger / MDA web site.
The 2004 California Extreme show was a fantastic gathering of both games,
and people. Mark Alpiger, who attended this year, let (Mole) know that he met
one gentleman there by the name of Eric, who was a friend of Kelly Kobashigawa.
Many gamers are aware of this famed player, who holds records on both Hypersports,
and, most famously, Track & Field. For many years, there has been talk of
players making above his recognized TG record of 95,040 points - both others,
and even Kelly himself. For example, CAG currently lists a high of 96,850 by
Chris Holder.
Well, Eric informed Mark that Kelly had made 'lots' of 98K scores on Track & Field,
and that he had a high of 101K !!
