    July 11, 2019 Competitive American Field Ready to Contend Against the Best in the World at the 42nd Annual Bank of America Chicago Marathon 2018 USATF Marathon National Champions Emma Bates and Brogan Austin Join Previously Announced Jordan Hasay and Galen Rupp at the Top of the U.S. Field CHICAGO – The Bank of America Chicago Marathon announced today that a strong field of American runners will join previously announced superstars Galen Rupp and Jordan Hasay at the front of the field in Grant Park on October 13. This year’s field includes reigning USATF marathon national champions Emma Bates and Brogan Austin, and five U.S. women with personal records (PRs) faster than 2:30 (including two of the top 10 fastest women in U.S. history). “This year’s elite field highlights an exciting resurgence we are seeing in American distance running right now,” said Bank of America Chicago Marathon Executive Race Director Carey Pinkowski. “We have a deep pool of American runners who are coming to Chicago to run fast, and we cannot wait to welcome them in the fall. We could see new American records and a lot of personal bests in October.” American women’s field With a PR of 2:20:57, Hasay leads this year’s field as the second-fastest American woman in history and the fastest to ever run the Bank of America Chicago Marathon. Hasay hopes to put Deena Kastor’s long-standing American record, 2:19:36, in jeopardy. But Hasay’s primary competitor won’t be the clock alone – Amy Cragg, Emma Bates, Stephanie Bruce, Lindsay Flanagan and Taylor Ward represent a strong contingent of U.S.

    August 27, 2018 The Bank of America Chicago Marathon Welcomes Strong American Field to Contend for the Crown at the 41st Annual Event Olympic Gold Medalist and Two-Time Triathlon World Champion Gwen Jorgensen Joins Previously Announced Top Americans Galen Rupp, Jordan Hasay, Amy Cragg and Laura Thweatt CHICAGO – The Bank of America Chicago Marathon announced today that defending champion Galen Rupp and American superstars Jordan Hasay, Amy Cragg and Laura Thweatt will be Joined by a strong field of American runners at the 41st annual Bank of America Chicago Marathon. They will also go head-to-head with a mighty contingent of international athletes led by Mo Farah, past champions Abel Kirui and Dickson Chumba, 2017 runner-up Brigid Kosgei, and two- time third-place finisher and sub-2:20 runner Birhane Dibaba. “We are thrilled with this year’s overall elite field,” said Bank of America Chicago Marathon Executive Race Director Carey Pinkowski. “There is an incredible amount of talent and momentum on the American women’s side, and Rupp is leading a resurgence on the men’s side. These athletes are going to put on quite a show in October, and they are going to keep alive Chicago’s legacy of supporting and showcasing top U.S. athletes.” American Men’s Field Elkanah Kibet surprised race commentators during his marathon debut at the 2015 Bank of America Chicago Marathon when he bolted to the front of the elite field with 22 miles to go and put a 15-second gap on the field. The chase pack caught him at mile nine, and many suspected that Kibet’s bold move would spell disaster in the later stages of the race.

  • Indoor Track and Field DIVISION I Women’S
    Indoor Track and Field DIVISION I WOMEN’S Highlights Lady Vols show world-class distance dominance: Tennessee dominated Division I women’s indoor track March 13-14 – and dominated the world for more than 10 minutes. The Lady Vols captured the school’s second team title in five years at the Division I Women’s Indoor Track and Field Championships and won two events during competition at Texas A&M – including a victory in world-record time in the distance medley relay. Tennessee’s time of 10 minutes, 50.98 seconds, in that event sliced more than three seconds off Villanova’s 21-year-old world mark in the 1,200-/400-/800-/1,600-meter medley, and eight seconds off UCLA’s 2002 meet record. The relay squad was anchored for the second straight year by Sarah Bowman, who figured in both Lady Vols’ event titles and collected a second meet record when she out- leaned Texas Tech’s Sally Kipyego to win the mile run. “Oh, my gosh, look at what we’ve done this weekend,” said Bowman, who also was a member of the 2005 indoor championship team. “I couldn’t ask for a sweeter weekend my senior year. I can’t even put it into words. It’s so amazing. “The heart that this team has, I could actually tear up just talking about them. Just to be out here with these girls who are putting their hearts on the line for the team, and it makes you want to do it all the more. It’s awesome to be part of a team like that.” Tennessee coach J.J.

  • 2017 Annual Meeting Committee Reports
    2017 USATF ANNUAL MEETING COMMITTEE REPORTS 2017 Athletes Advisory Committee Annual Report Submitted October 30, 2017 Purpose: The purpose of this report is to summarize the strategic goals and progress towards such of the USATF Athletes Advisory Committee in 2017. Strategic Goal #1: Athlete Funding & Support Increase athlete funding through prize money, stipends, Revenue Distribution Plan The RDP contract is being finalized between the national office and the AAC to ensure fair treatment and no room for interpretation. A plan for the 2018 RDP money (since there is no team to make and be paid for) is being presented to the national office. Athletes need to be paid on time, in a predictable manner. A schedule is being put together detailing when each type of payment can be expected (Tier payments, prize money, RDP), to which the national office will be held accountable. The Emergency Relief Fund was finalized in 2016 to provide emergency financial assistance to current or recently retired athletes facing a catastrophic event causing financial distress. In 2017, the fund was first used to help athletes in dire situations. USATF has funded the account initially, with the AAC being responsible for future fundraising. Strategic Goal #2: Domestic Competitive Opportunities It is important to the AAC that we continue to seek out opportunities for domestic competitions to reduce the dependency on the European circuit. 2019 will be an especially important year, as the World Championships will take place much later than usual (late Sept/early Oct). We will need domestic competitive opportunities in June, July and August of 2019.

  • Indoor Track and Field DIVISION I Women’S
    Indoor Track and Field DIVISION I WOMEN’S Highlights Oregon women claim first indoor track crown: The No. 1-ranked Oregon women made their first Division I NCAA Indoor Track and field National Championship look easy, claiming the title March 13 by piling up 61 points. Defending champ fourth-ranked Tennessee was second with 36 points, followed by No. 3 LSU (35), No. 4 Florida (33) and No. 2 Texas A&M (31). Oregon won without coach Vin Lananna, who was forced to stay in Oregon for medical reasons. The Ducks also overcame a disappointing 13-point first night that left them five points behind leader Auburn. “Their spirits were getting down,” assistant coach Robert Johnson said, “and I was like, ‘Look, you’ve got to stop that getting down and throwing a pity party. We’re still in this thing. As long as you guys rally around each other, we can get this thing done.’” Despite the late-night pep talk, Johnson was unsure if his message had its intended effect. “I didn’t feel so good after the meeting, but when I got to see them this morning their spirits were up,” he said. Brianne Theisen kept the good vibes going, winning the pentathlon and putting the Ducks ahead for good. Jordan Hasay and Anne Kesselring then ran fourth and sixth, respectively, in the mile to give Oregon 31 points. Keshia Baker gave the Ducks all the points they would need with a second-place finish in the 400-meter dash. Francena McCorory of Hampton won the event, setting an American record by finishing in 50.54 seconds.
