USATF awards masters cash from Excellence Challenge Grants

(Updated to remove references to USATF Foundation) USA Track & Field’s Board of Directors have loosened the purse strings for masters track. See this announcement. “The USATF Masters Track & Field Committee was awarded $11,900 in support of the Masters Track & Field-Recruiting New Members initiative,” says a press release. “The grant will fund the purchase of projection equipment and supporting materials for seven region coordinators in support of the masters committee (Forever Fast) initiative to recruit masters athletes.” Other winners of the first batch of “Excellence Challenge Grants” were Team USA Minnesota-USATF Minnesota Association ($50,000) and the Randalls Island Sports Federation ($37,375). Our grant is kind of puny, but it’s a start.

    Just Great!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    USATF gives $37,000.00 to the foundation. Why not ask Carl Icahn(billionaire), who’s name is on the stadium because of his big generous donation to redo the old stadium.

    Why has the USATF decided to give precious monies to this project when this project does not the money.

    My God! Is anyone thinking before they spend the money

    Wake up people!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
