    USATF 2008 Annual Report

    2008 USATF Annual Report WELCOME TO USA TRACK & FIELD Three letters: “U.S.A.” Together they are the most powerful brand in Olympic sport, and nowhere is it stronger than on the track and in the field. The organization charged with growing that brand and administering the U.S. team, USA Track & Field (USATF) is the national governing body for track and field, long distance running and race walking in the United States. Part of the Olympic Family, with the power of “The Rings” behind it, USATF also is a modern, professional sports organization who views its peers as the NBA, MLS and other pro sports leagues. USATF’s raison d’etre is to advance the sport of track and field in the American psyche and in the American sports business and entertainment industries. The sport is international, elemental and eternal. Among the most ubiquitous and accessible activities in the world, track and field has universal appeal, with 213 national member federations competing on the international level. It is a powerful social and economic force in the United States, where more than 30 million Americans are runners and 10 million Americans run 100 times or more each year. Indoor and outdoor track and cross country is the #1 participatory sport in American junior highs and high schools. Tens of thousands of Americans are involved with the sport as coaches, officials and volunteers. The sport penetrates deeply into the inner cities, while fans at some meets boast an average household income well over $150,000. All things to all people? Maybe … but in the best possible way, and with focus on growth.

The team, recruited to compete against an accomplished international field, will challenge for the coveted olive wreath on Patriots’ Day, April 16, 2018. Four-time Olympian and 2017 TCS New York City Marathon champion Shalane Flanagan headlines the field along with two-time Olympic medalist and 2017 Bank of America Chicago Marathon champion Galen Rupp. Joining them are Olympians Desiree Linden, Dathan Ritzenhein, Abdi Abdirahman, Deena Kastor, and Molly Huddle, the latter of whom is the North American 10,000m record holder. Also returning to Boston are Jordan Hasay and Shadrack Biwott. Hasay placed third at the 2017 Chicago Marathon, and set the American marathon debut record at Boston this year when she ran 2:23:00. Biwott finished as the second American and fourth overall in Boston this year. Serena Burla, Ryan Vail, Sara Hall, Scott Smith, Kellyn Taylor, and Andrew Bumbalough will also compete on the John Hancock U.S. Elite Team at the 122nd running of the Boston Marathon. “The 2018 John Hancock U.S. Elite Team represents a dedicated group of athletes who have consistently challenged themselves to compete with great success on the world stage,” said John Hancock Chief Marketing Officer Barbara Goose.

I knew she was a really accomplished runner, I had a lot of respect for that, but I wasn’t familiar with her story. And reading about her mental work has inspired me in so many ways. I cannot recommend this book enough. It will change you. It will change how you think about yourself and your training and your accomplishments. Welcome to The Not Your Average Runner Podcast. If you're a woman who has never felt athletic but you still dream about becoming a runner, you are in the right place.

The reserve was to protect not only the region's great natural beauty and scientific value, but also the cultural life of its people, which is largely undocumented. In 1983, the American Folklife Center of the Library of Congress inaugurated the Pinelands Folklife Project, a field survey that documented on audio tape and film hundreds of residents of the area, capturing images of their lives in songs, stories, recipes, poems, crafts, festivals, recreation, tools, and technologies. Like natural resources, such expressions warrant consideration from planners, but their intangible aspects pose a special challenge. This document refutes the popular image of the region as a wilderness sparsely populated with quaint, backwoods people, presenting instead a place rich in cultural and environmental diversity and describing how residents convey their sense of place through myriad cultural expressions, which planners can factor into their land-use decisions.
