Page 1 of 3 CU Buffs' Emma Coburn, Shayala Kipp qualify for U.S. finals Buffs competing at national championships Camera staff, wire reports Boulder Daily Camera Posted:06/24/2011 11:27:46 PM MDT EUGENE, Ore. -- Emma Coburn decided to leave a little in the tank at the USATF Outdoor Championships on Friday night. The University of Colorado junior finished fourth in the steeplechase semifinals at Hayward Field. Coburn easily advanced to Sunday`s finals with a time of 9 minutes, 59.75 seconds. Coburn led for most of the race, but backed off in the final 100 meters to conserve energy for Sunday`s finals. Joining her in the finals will be fellow Buff Shalaya Kipp. Kipp finished 13th overall in 10:02.11. A total of 14 athletes qualified for the finals. A pair of former Buffs will compete in finals today after qualifying late Thursday. Jenny (Barringer) Simpson won her heat of the 1,500-meter run in 4:14.20. Billy Nelson placed second in the steeplechase in 8:40.76. The women`s 1,500 final is at 3:34 p.m. (MST) and the men`s steeplechase final is at 4:01 p.m. Meanwhile, anyone who saw the way he slowly uncoiled from his crouch and lumbered down the track during his first race at nationals could tell -- something was wrong with Tyson Gay. It turned out to be something big -- a hip injury that forced one of the world`s top sprinters and one of the top challengers to Usain Bolt out of the meet, off the U.S. team for worlds and into rehab mode with the London Olympics only 13 months away. Gay said he made the decision Friday as he was talking to his agent`s assistant while trying, without much success, to warm up before the 100-meter semifinals. "He pulled me to the side and said, 'I can`t take it, seeing your face keep grimacing,'" Gay told The Associated Press. "He said, 'I know you do it because you love it and it`s all you know.` I decided to try to get ready and take care of it." The hip has been bothering Gay for most of the year, and after a lackluster run in Thursday`s prelims -- a major effort in a race he can usually coast through -- he said it was, in fact, still bothering him. Instead of fighting through it Friday, where he needed a top-three finish to secure a spot in worlds, he chose to shut it down. He won`t run in the 200, either. The men`s 100 prelims at the London Olympics are Aug. 4, 2012, a date very much on Gay`s mind when he made the decision to end his stay this week in Eugene. "I`ve been bandaging it up, couldn`t really take any more," Gay said. "I decided to stay healthy. It`s pretty painful running in pain." Gay`s absence put a different twist on the final, where Walter Dix (9.94), Justin Gatlin (9.95) and Michael Rodgers (9.99) finished 1-2-3 to earn the three spots at worlds. Rodgers, the 2009 national champ, sneaked into a spot that probably would`ve gone to Gay had he been healthy. Gatlin, however, was the bigger story. Back at nationals after serving a four- year doping ban, the 29-year-old showed he can still run with the best. The 2004 Olympic champion was crying when he crossed the finish line. "I think that before the finish line I just let it all out with a roar," Gatlin said. http://www.buffzone.com/portlet/article/html/fragments/print_article.jsp?articleId=18350772&siteId=29 6/27/2011 Page 2 of 3 Also of note Friday, CU freshman Genny Mayden finished fourth overall in the heptathlon with 4590 points in the junior championships. She was in ninth after the first day of competition. Mayden earned personal bests in the 100-meter hurdles (15.28), high jump (5-04.25), shot put (37-06.75), javelin (121-06) and 800 (2:27.80).

    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.

    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.
