3 Americans on WMA world meet oversight Competition Committee

Brian, with hat, will lead WMA meet inspectors.

Ontario’s Brian Keaveney is chair of the new WMA Competition Committee, which apparently replaces the old Stadia and Non-stadia committees. He’s cherry-picking his staff, which includes three Americans with long experience in meet management, scheduling and officiating. The Yanks are Carroll DeWeese, Bill Murray and Sandy Pashkin. These folks played similar roles on the USATF Masters Games Committee — checking out bid sites and working with LOCs to make sure the meets are run properly. I assume the 12-member panel will be dispatched to Daegu, South Korea, and Malaga, Spain, for 2017 indoor and 2018 outdoor world meet inspections. Brian is looking forward to 2020 when Toronto hosts its second worlds.
