Minutes 2014 USATF Annual Meeting Anaheim, CA Women's Long Distance Running General Session #1 Minutes 2014 USATF Annual Meeting Anaheim, CA Women's Long Distance Running General Session #1 December 3rd, 2014, 8am-9:50am Pacific Attendees (for one or more sessions), Executive Committee: Kim Keenan-Kirkpatrick (Chair), Kathy Nary (Vice-Chair- International Competition), Mickey Piscitelli (Vice-Chair- Awards and National Championships), Camille Herron (Secretary/Athlete), Lesley Higgins (Athlete), Nina Kuscsik (Law & Legislation), Darren De Reuck (National Championships Chair), LeeAnn Meyer (National Championships Committee), Julie McKinney (Developmental Chair), Nancy Hobbs (MUT Chair), Bill McKee (Rules Committee), Amy Yoder-Begley (Member) I. Call to Order/Welcome: Women's LDR Chair, Ms. Kim Keenan-Kirkpatrick, convened the meeting at 8:04am. II. Introduction of Attendees: At the request of Ms. Keenan-Kirkpatrick, she had everyone in attendance introduce themselves and their role with USATF. III. Approval of 2013 General Session Minutes: Women's LDR Secretary, Ms. Camille Herron, mentioned that the 2013 General Session Minutes should be available online in the document library for review. Also, Ms. Herron sent out the minutes via email last year to all of those who provided an email on the attendance sheet. She will continue to do the same for this year’s minutes. Ms. Mickey Piscitelli made a motion and Ms. Nina Kuscsik seconded to approve the minutes. The minutes were unanimously approved. IV. WLDR Awards: Ms. Piscitelli (WLDR Vice-Chair for Awards) talked about the two awards our committee gives: the Runner of the Year Award and the Marja Bakker Contributor of the Year. Ms. Molly Huddle- Runner of the Year. Objectively given to the top point scorer of the USARC. Ms. Huddle will be unable to attend the awards breakfast. Mr. Doug Allred- Marja Bakker Contributor of the Year. Mr. Allred is the longtime race director for the Gate River Run/15K US Championship. He said he’ll have the Gate Rive Run serve as the 15K Championship as long as they are welcome. He also won’t be able to attend the breakfast. V. Report from RR Technical Council: Mr. Gene Newman (RRTC) noted to make sure our list of US Championships get pre-verified for record purposes. VI. 2015 US Championships: Ms. Keenan-Kirkpatrick talked about how LA is hosting the 2015 US Marathon Championship in March on the regular marathon course. While the athletes won’t get to run the Olympic Marathon Trials course, they’ll get to familiarize themselves with the city, travel, roads, LA, the hotel, and the race director crew. We’re hoping the Olympic Trials course will be finalized by March, so the athletes can take course tours. Ms. Keenan-Kirkpatrick and Mr. Ed Torres (MLDR Chair) and others got to preview the proposed 1 course on Monday (drove and walked). They made some recommendations/tweaks. There’s a 2.2 mile out-and-back North loop (fairly straight, three turns). Then you come back and do a 6 mile loop four times towards the USC campus—this loop is like a “U” you do in the middle of the campus. It will be surrounded by college kids cheering. Also, it goes further South to showcase the Coliseum. They made recommendations so the course flows- no crazy turns and curbs. They want the course to be “athlete friendly”. We’ve also learned the Olympic Trials will be on the same weekend as the Grammy’s, so we hope to have a star sing the National Anthem. The race will start at 10am Pacific time and be televised live on NBC. The men and women will start separately (women first) - the time differential will likely be the time it takes for the women to complete the first full loop (2.2+6 miles). VII. Review of 2014 US Championships: Our National Championships Chair, Mr. Darren De Reuck, gave a report on this year’s Championships and the winners. Jan. 19th- Half Marathon- Houston, TX Serena Burla won the first US Championship of the year in 1:10:48.

Also, we might have a bid for an 8K Championship. There will be 12 National Championships in 2015. Women’s LDR Athlete, Ms. Lesley Higgins, asked Mr. De Reuck about the prize money breakdown for the Championships. He said it’s on the USATF website (it’s on the Runner’s Space site devoted to the USARC, although the present prize money breakdown is for 2014- http://www.runnerspace.com/gprofile.php?mgroup_id=30069 ). As Ms. Keenan-Kirkpatrick mentioned, Men’s LDR gave a handout in their meeting with the prize money breakdown- 11 Championships in 2014 provided $323,800; there will be 10 Championships in 2015 giving $331,650+. There will be $697,000 of prize money given for both genders in 2015. As Ms. Paige Biglin (OH) pointed out, the National Championship prize money comes from the local organizing committees, except the .US 12K Championship which comes from .US and USATF. This is important to note, since with the T&F Championships, the prize money comes from USATF. Mr. De Reuck mentioned there are guidelines in the bidding that so much money (a minimum) must be devoted to prize money. WLDR National Championships committee member, Ms. LeeAnn Meyer, spoke up about her experience as a liaison with the Bix 7 miler. They like to host the US Championship every five years, in conjunction with their anniversary celebration. Otherwise, they usually draw an international field. She showed a book they put together in celebration of the race. She also showed the newspaper headlines (always good to have the local newspaper provide sponsor support to cover the race). Ms. Meyer mailed Sean Quigley a copy of the newspaper clipping with his picture. She mentioned the athletes are housed in dorms that are like townhouses. Ms. Keenan-Kirkpatrick gave the lowdown about her experience as a liaison at the .US 12K Championship. She said the event has grown tremendously in its second year. The field size was around 25. She said we want to look at trying to grow the field. At the present, the top 10 from each Championship qualify for the 12K- the top 5 get their trip paid for, while those who finish 6- 10 get an entry into the Championship. We want to expand the qualifying to include automatic qualifying for those who finished in the top 10 at the .US 12K Championship the previous year. There’s been discussion to expand the qualifying to 15 deep at the National Championships.

  • Alex Sawyer, Bank of America Chicago Marathon, 1.312
    September 10, 2015 Reporters May Contact: Alex Sawyer, Bank of America Chicago Marathon, 1.312.992.6618 [email protected] Diane Wagner, Bank of America, 1.312.992.2370 [email protected] 2012 Chicago Champion and Current Half Marathon World Record-holder Headline 2015 Bank of America Chicago Marathon Elite Field International Elites Attempt to Qualify for National Olympic Teams CHICAGO – Today, the Bank of America Chicago Marathon announced 2012 champion Tsegaye Kebede of Ethiopia and current half marathon world record-holder Florence Kiplagat of Kenya will return to compete for the crown at the 38th annual event. Kebede and Kiplagat accent an international elite field that represents the global road to Rio de Janeiro. Many athletes hope to use the 2015 Chicago Marathon as a springboard (via qualifying times and notable performances) to representing their countries at the Rio de Janeiro 2016 Olympic Games. Chicago marks the site of Kebede’s 2012 marathon personal best (2:04:38) and his sole victory in three attempts down the homestretch on Columbus Drive. His 2010 epic, head-to-head battle against the late Sammy Wanjiru is considered by many to be one of the most courageous marathon duels of all time. On the women’s side, Kenya’s Florence Kiplagat comes back to Chicago after finishing in 2:25:57 last year. Kiplagat has something no other woman in the field has: the half marathon world record. The 2010 IAAF World Half Marathon champion and the 2011 and 2013 Berlin Marathon champion broke her own half marathon world record in February, clocking a remarkable 1:05:09 in Barcelona (she also set the 15K and 20K world records en route).

(Photo: @TaFPhoto) Aliphine Tuliamuk, Molly Seidel, and Sally Kipyego earn spots on the U.S. Olympic marathon team 1 On Saturday in Atlanta, Aliphine Tuliamuk, Molly Seidel, and Sally Kipyego ran their way onto the Olympic Team by going 1–2–3 in the U.S. Olympic Marathon Trials. I thought Sarah Lorge Butler put it perfectly in this article for Runner’s World, when she called the top three “completely unexpected and utterly logical at the same time.” I still think Seidel making the team is slightly illogical, but I’ll explain later. There were so many excellent marathoners in contention, it was inevitable that some excellent runners would be left off the team. But for Jordan Hasay, Sara Hall, Emily Sisson, Molly Huddle, Des Linden, and Kellyn Taylor to all be left off, that’s the surprise. How it went down The race went out slowly, relatively speaking, with most of the 444 starters right together through the first mile, which the leaders hit in 6:13. The biggest development in the first mile, as far as I know, is that Kaitlin Goodman went down and got trampled. She got back in the race, but her injuries ultimately took her out of the race shortly before halfway, and it’s frustrating that she never got to test her fitness on this stage.
