  • 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.

  • POST-TRAUMATIC GROWTH: a HERO's JOURNEY Jenny Simpson
    POST-TRAUMATIC GROWTH: A HERO'S JOURNEY Jenny Simpson A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the degree of Masters of Counselling City University of Seattle Vancouver BC, Canada site Division of Arts and Sciences September, 2018 SUBMITTED TO: Thesis Supervisor: Glen Grigg, PhD, RCC Faculty Reader: Colin Sanders PhD, RCC 2 Abstract This thesis explores the current psychotherapeutic practices of trauma treatment as well as evaluating the process of Tedeschi and Calhoun’s concept of Post-Traumatic Growth. Coupled with this study, is a parallel study of Campbell’s Hero’s Journey and how this narrative arc could assist in understanding and possibly facilitate Post-Traumatic Growth. For the purpose of this study, I have completed a qualitative study including a literature review, which incorporates the history of our understanding of trauma as a society, recently as therapists, and trauma’s current and past treatments, quantitative studies of PTG as well as variations of understanding the Hero’s Journey and how these could increase understanding of the process of Post-Traumatic Growth and facilitate therapeutic conversations. Trauma is not new to our society, but our awareness in both psychotherapy and as a modern society has been increasing and terms like ‘trauma informed’ and ‘trauma sensitive’ have been applied to therapy, yoga, literature, education and even medical treatment. Increasing our awareness of trauma and its effects could possibly decrease its occurrence in society and encourage more support those who have experienced trauma which could decrease their symptoms and increase awareness of situational context and contributing stressors. Utilizing common narrative arcs such as the Hero’s Journey to understand trauma and its effects could assist clients and society’s understanding of trauma and its lasting impacts as well as our capacity for growth following adverse experiences.

(22-Jun) -- Galen Rupp's streak of eight consecutive USA 10,000m titles came to an end here tonight at Hornet Stadium when the two-time Olympic medalist faded in the final lap of choppy and slow race which was won by Oregon Track Club Elite's Hassan Mead in 29:01.44. Rupp, who runs for the Nike Oregon Project, finished fifth. On the women's side, Saucony's Molly Huddle extended her winning streak at these championships to three, comfortably winning the 25-lap race in a solid 31:19.86, the second- fastest by an American this year. MEN'S RACE BECAME CAT AND MOUSE AFFAIR While the women's contest was a traditional battle of endurance won off of a steady and strong pace, the men's race early on became a game of cat and mouse. Feeling no pressure to run a fast time, the men's pack jogged through the first 800 meters in 2:29, only slightly faster than the women (2:32). The group of 24 athletes was tightly bunched, with veteran Ben Bruce of Hoka Northern Arizona Elite at the front. With 19 laps to go, 2015 national road running champion Sam Chelanga became impatient. Coming down the homestretch, he shot to the lead and threw in a 64.7-second lap, followed by another at 65.1.
