2= 010 USATF MASTERS WEST REGION REPORT

                Our West Region Meet was held on July 10th and 11th.  Traditionally this meet is  two weeks before the National Championships.  This year the Paci= fic Association put on a meet on the same weekend as our meet and it hurt our attendance.  We were down about 35= to 40 athletes over last year.  The meet= did a little better than break even, but it could have been a greater success wit= hout the direct date conflict. The meet was held at O= range Coast College in Costa Mesa, California.  The two coaches from the college were instrumental in the successful operations of the two day meet.  I= would also like to thank the members of So Cal Track Club that provided the man p= ower on meet day.  The West Region meet continues to be one of the premier masters meets in the country both from a competition and attendance aspect. The West Region Indoor Championship was = held at Northern Arizona University, Flagstaff, Az. , for the second straight year.  The attendance was up a lit= tle over 2009 for the masters.  The ma= sters events piggy back on the youth meet.  My thanks to James Smith, the master’s chair for the = Arizona Association for helping to get= this meet off the ground. Southern California, Nevada, Arizona, Hawaii, Pacific and San Diego Imperial= all conducted Association Championships for Masters.  Central California and New Mexico were the only Associations = in the West Region that did not. 

As Masters Vice President a= nd Masters Track & Field Chair for the Southern California Association, I = am happy to announce that we received a Grant from USATF for $ 950.00 for our Master’s program.  This Grant was requested so that we could buy one flight of 27-inch hurdles to conduct long and short hurdle races in the 70 plus division.  Sonya Harrell, our full time Association Office Staff person, deserv= es our thanks for writing the Grant proposal. Goals for the West Region for the coming year include:  USATF sponso= red clinics to be held in the various Associations.

Next year’s proposed date= for the USATF Masters West Region T & F Championships: 

 June 11th and 12th, 2011, Or= ange Coast College, Costa Mesa, Ca

Respectfully submitted,       Mark Cleary       Mast= ers West Region Coordinator
