  • Camille and Comrades
    July 2017 Issue No. 255 CAMILLE AND COMRADES: Herron reflects on historic win at world’s premier ultramarathon By Jenni Carlson Camille Herron sat at a high-top table away from the hustle and bustle of the burger joint. The weekday lunch rush at The Garage in Midtown was largely over, but after a late-morning workout at Lake Hefner – she wanted to run in the heat and the wind -- a burger overflowing with toppings and an order of sweet potato fries sat in front of her. She needed calories. She wanted fuel. But for long stretches, the food went untouched – Herron was talking about her running instead of eating. And there’s lots to talk about these days. When Herron and I met for a late lunch, it was only two weeks after the Oklahoma native’s historic win at the Comrades Marathon in South Africa. She became only the third American, male or female, to win the world’s most prestigious ultramarathon. And it was only a week or so before she went to the Western States 100, one of trail racing’s biggest events. Herron, 35, couldn’t have been more excited about what she’s already accomplished this year, starting with Comrades. “I won the World Cup,” she said, trying to explain how big Comrades is in the world of ultramarathoning. She went to Comrades for the first time three years ago. At that point, she was transitioning to Camille Herron ultramarathoning after an extremely successful See Camille, on page 6 marathoning career -- she won the Oklahoma City www.okcrunning.org July 2017 President’s Message By Matthew Wilcoxen, President Summer has sprung!

  • 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.
