The Tokyo Games are seven months away, the Eugene Olympic Trials six. This will be the fourth consecutive time the Trials have been held in Eugene, dating back to 2012 – though they were supposed to be in California, until Mt. SAC dropped the ball on its new stadium. Nevertheless, the Trials will be in a new stadium after all, the completely rebuilt Hayward Field, set to open 100 years after the original was built. The first meet scheduled for the new stadium is the Pac- 12 Championships May 16-17. A number of questions have come up regarding the new press setup. TAFWA has reached out to the University, and we expect to have information on the subject for the January Newsletter. Stay tuned. 2020 Dues It is time to pay your Dues for 2020, $30 to Treasurer Tom Casacky, by check or Paypal. Awards Nominations for our 2020 Awards can be made now through May 1. The exceptions to this are Film & Video and Books, which must be nominated sooner to give the respective selectors, Nancy Beffa and Peter Walsh, time to review all the submissions. Next year’s awards will be presented during the Olympic Trials in Eugene. No TAFWA event is sched- uled for the 2020 NCAA in Austin. Mary Cain Once the country’s young running sensation, she has returned to the limelight with her outspoken comments on her treatment at the hands of her sponsor, Nike, and her coach, Alberto Salazar. There is more on Cain in this issue, including her gutsy insistence that Nike not be allowed to investigate itself. Russia It doesn’t get any better with them. The internal manipulations of their drug history continue. Some corners want them out of the Olympic Movement entirely, all sports, no Autonomous athletes. You won’t get an argument from this corner. The country’s entire culture of deceit has to be overturned. Meantime, a teenager became the 43rd Kenyan runner to be caught for drugs … this year.

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.

  • SOT - Randalls Island - July 3-4/ OT Los Angeles - September 12-13
    1964 MEN Trials were held in Los Angeles on September 12/13, some 5 weeks before the Games, after semi-final Trials were held at Travers Island in early July with attendances of 14,000 and 17,000 on the two days. To give the full picture, both competitions are analyzed here. SOT - Randalls Island - July 3-4/ OT Los Angeles - September 12-13 OT - 100 Meters - September 12, 16.15 Hr 1. 5. Bob Hayes (Florida A&M) 10.1 2. 2. Trenton Jackson (Illinois) 10.2 3. 7. Mel Pender (US-A) 10.3 4. 8. Gerry Ashworth (Striders) [10.4 –O] 10.3e 5. 6. Darel Newman (Fresno State) [10.4 – O] 10.3e 6. 1. Charlie Greene (Nebraska) 10.4 7. 3. Richard Stebbins (Grambling) 10.4e 8. 4. Bernie Rivers (New Mexico) 10.4e Bob Hayes had emerged in 1962, after a 9.3y/20.1y double at the '61 NAIA, and inside 3 seasons had stamped himself as the best 100 man of all-time. However, in the AAU he injured himself as he crossed the line, and he was in the OT only because of a special dispensation. In the OT race Newman started well but soon faded and Hayes, Jackson and Pender edged away from the field at 30m, with Hayes' power soon drawing clear of the others. He crossed the line 5ft ahead, still going away, and the margin of 0.1 clearly flattered Jackson. A time of 10.3 would have been a fairer indication for both Jackson and Ashworth rather than the official version of 10.4, while Stebbins and Rivers (neither officially timed) are listed at 10.4e from videotape.
