With his booming voice and a personality to match, Scott Davis was one of the premier national and international track and field announcers from the 1980s until his untimely death from cancer in 2010.
 
A clear and concise speaker who could use his statistics background to break down even the most complex of track and field situations for fans in the stands, Davis also had a world-class sense of humor. His passion for the sport showed through at every meet he announced, from home meets at his alma mater, UCLA, to the IAAF World Championships.
 
Davis was the meet announcer for the Nike Prefontaine Classic for 21 years and served as lead announcer at several IAAF World Junior and World Youth meets in addition to his duties at senior events. He was the director of the Mt. SAC Relays for 20 years, where he doubled up as the announcer.
 
Outside the stadium, Davis was a co-founder and president of the Federation of American Statisticians of Track (FAST), serving as editor of the FAST Annual for 32 years. He was also Secretary General of the ATFS, the international statisticians group, and helped found the Track & Field Writers of America (TAFWA).
