Our goal is to have a two year schedule contracted We have accomplished that goal. Now we need to devote our efforts to maintaining the program.

I am requesting all Masters athletes participate in the site selection process by contacting your association for their help and interest to bid for a future championship in your locale. Identify possible venues and do the necessary follow up with the responsible persons to encourage bidding. The USATF national office will cooperate with you. Current Information is maintained on the USATF web-site. I am always available to lend assistance.
