There are two articles – one by Ken Goe, the other by Ken Stone -- in this month’s Newsletter detailing shocking details of the alleged ways in which the USATF leadership attempted to extort Lananna into an arrangement in which they would allow him to return to the position to which he was elected in exchange for looking the other way on actual governance. The Amateur Athletic Union was around for a century before being forced to give up its control of track and field in the United States, ending a long and sordid chapter. That gave birth to The Athletics Congress, which quickly followed a similar path, bringing us the USATF. When one reads these latest charges, it may be time to wonder what the new acronym will be. Hyperandrogenism The South African Caster Semenya and her team continue to challenge all rulings against her. This has become a fierce international political debate, one that is now spilling over into transgender arguments as well. Last weekend, for example, two transgender runners finished 1-2 in a race in the Connecticut high school state meet. They were competing in the girls’ division. Where does this go? (Just today, I filled out a municipal online questionnaire. Under gender, I was given the options of Male, Fe- male, Trans and Other.) Two items appear in this month’s newsletter – one an analysis of the Semenya situation, the other a state- ment from the group NSAF on its current policy on transgender athletes, showing the tricky situation meet sponsors and governing bodies find themselves in. Housecleaning Two months remain for nominations for this year’s TAFWA Awards. Deadline is May 1.

    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.

    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.

    Friends of Oregon Track and Field

    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.
