Site of the 2015 NCAA Division II XC West Regional President’s Message Eugene and the NCAA Championships We have brought up the problem of press parking in the vicinity of Hayward Field in recent issues, and Phil Pierce, who handles these championships for the NCAA and is a TAFWA member, graciously responded privately. Phil said that he is preparing a report on press matters for the championships and will do his best to address our concerns. Meantime, TAFWA has secured 12 parking spaces at the Lutheran church on 17th, across the street from campus, for the 2016 NCAA meet. These will be available exclusively to TAFWA members for $20 -- $5 a day – on a first-come, first-served basis. Further details to come. 2016 TAFWA Events We are planning four get-togethers for next year – • Thursday evening Feb. 18 – Winter Awards Banquet, Coogan’s Restaurant, 168th and Broadway, New York City. This is two days prior to the Millrose Games. • Sunday morning March 20 – Social event for members of TAFWA, FAST and ATFS in Portland, Ore., site of the World Indoor Championships. That is the final day of competition. This will be held at Cathedral Park Place, in North Portland. • Friday morning June 10 – Annual Awards Breakfast, Gerlinger Hall, Oregon campus • Olympic Trials, Eugene – Date not yet selected, TBA. Will be held at a private home near campus. Obituaries TAFWA feels obligated to report on the passing of our past members and others who work in our pro- fession, and we make every effort to do so. We do not feel it is our role to print the obituaries in our Newsletter of past competitors. While we ad- mire these people and respect their accomplishments, there are many such events every month. These are generally reported in other media. TAFWA Awards for 2015 The criteria and deadlines for all of our annual awards are again printed in this month’s Newsletter. Please note that some of the deadlines have been moved up by four months to Jan. 1. This is because we plan to give out some of our awards again next year in New York in February. This will be based in part on where the winner is geographically located, to facilitate their presence. We do not know at the present time which awards will be presented in New York and which in Eugene in June. 2016 FAST Annual Latest update is that we remain optimistic that next year’s book will be completed in February and available in time for the US and World Indoor Championships, both of which will be held in Portland, TAFWA Newsletter - Page 2 - October 2015 Ore. If you wish to be a compiler for this season, please contact Tom Casacky ASAP. Book Sales TAFWA has surplus copies of past FAST and ATFS Annuals along with other track and field publica- tions. It is time for us to clear out some of this backlog. A notice appears in this month’s Newsletter for certain titles available @ $5 each. If there is sufficient interest, additional years will be available in future months. These come from a supply in NYC. If there is no interest, they will be sold off. There are additional copies in Portland. These will be put on sale to the general public on Saturday, Dec. 5, at the annual Christmas Sale at Cathedral Park Place, 6635 N.

    2020 MCDC Sponsorship

    RUN MCDC RUN MCDC MUSIC CITY DISTANCE CARNIVAL: EVENT PROFILE The Music City Distance Carnival - or MCDC as it has come to be known - has, for the last 17 years, proved to be the South’s premiere track meet. In its relatively short history, it has yielded more Tennessee All-Comers re- cords, state high school records, and Olympic Trials and National Championships qualifying performances than any other track meet in the state, and has produced more sub-4 minute miles than any other track meet in the entire southern United States. The meet can boast the second fastest outdoor mile ever recorded in Tennessee, at 3:55.65, and it has produced a total of 29 sub-4 minute miles. It also gave Nashville its first ever sub-4 in 2005, courtesy of 2-time Olympian, Anthony Famiglietti, and has yielded two Masters World records, including the amazing 3:58.79 clocking by 40-year-old Anthony Whiteman in 2012. Last year’s meet saw 10-time U.S. champion Emma Coburn provide a thrilling climax to the meet with a down to the wire win in the women’s 1500m. IMPACT OF COVID-19 The Covid-19 Pandemic has turned the sporting world upside down, and the sport of Track & Field is no excep- tion. With the Olympic Games and the U.S. Olympic Trials postponed until 2021, and with no U.S. Champion- ships replacement on the horizon, the sport’s biggest stage this year is likely to be right here in Nashville. Last year, MCDC had over 600 runners of all ages and abilities participating, and the meet drew a crowd of around 2500 at Vanderbilt University.

    April 8, 2019 Skechers Performance™ Elite Runner Edward Cheserek Wins at Carlsbad 5000, Tying World-Record Time Winningest male athlete in NCAA history continues his success in professional career with sixth straight victory and achieves a new road personal best MANHATTAN BEACH, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Skechers celebrates 17-time NCAA national champion Edward Cheserek’s win at the 2019 Carlsbad 5000 in Carlsbad, CA on Sunday, April 7. At the event known as the World’s Fastest 5K, the Skechers Performance elite runner crossed the finish line in 13:29, tying the International Association of Athletics Federation (IAAF) road world record, achieving a new road 5K personal best, and crossing the finish line 25 seconds ahead of the next runner. Cheserek was joined on the podium by fellow Skechers Performance elite Reid Buchanan, who finished third with 13:56. “This race is legendary, and it’s been a goal of mine to win, and today I not only won, but tied for the road world record and achieved a new road PB (personal best)—it’s a great accomplishment,” said Cheserek, who raced in Skechers GOrun Razor 3 Hyper™ shoes. “With Meb (Keflezighi) now involved in this event, it’s even more special—he’s in a class of his own and he’s part of the Skechers family. Skechers has supported me from incredibly lightweight custom racing spikes to cheering me on today. I can’t wait to race here again next year." Since the inaugural race in 1986, the World’s Fastest 5K has been more than just a catchy tagline.

    OREGON TEAM Friends of Oregon UPDATE Track and Field NOVEMBER 2014 Dear Friends of Oregon Track and Field, With just over a week left in the 2014 cross country season, the Ducks have put themselves in outstanding positions heading into the NCAA West Regional and NCAA Championships over the next two weekends. The men’s and women’s cross country season started with some early-September excitement at the annual Bill Dellinger Invitational, which returned to Pre’s Trail for the first time since 2010. Oregon welcomed Michigan State, for cross country and football match-ups, in a race that was featured on the ESPNU program Road Trip. Both squads were impressive in their season debuts and headed to Sunriver, Oregon for their summer training camp with high expectations for their season. The next competition of the year for both teams showed significant progress over the short three week training period. The men returned to Boston for the second straight year and placed five runners in the top ten to handily beat a Syracuse team that has gone on to dominate their conference and is now ranked third nationally. The women’s team faced a top field at the Washington Invitational a week later, where they outlasted very good Stanford, Washington and Villanova teams. The teams faced their final regular season tests in mid-October at the Pre-National Invitational in Terre Haute, Indiana, where both teams finished second amongst a large field size. Defending NCAA Champion Edward Cheserek made a move to the lead around the 5,000 meter mark to win his sixth straight cross country race while teammate Eric Jenkins finished third in one of the strongest fields the pair will face this season.
