Press release from the LOC says: “We’re confident that the WMA entrants will find online registration a big improvement,” said John McCasey, chairman of the 2011 WMA Championships. “It’s going to make for a better-organized and athlete-friendly competition.” SimplyRegister, a company based in Indiana and founded by former USATF webmaster Keith Lively, is the company behind the online signup form.

Glorioski.(that’s the only Polish word I know).(^_^)I’ll be at the Embassy Suites. Holler at me. Smartty
