Time to pipe up: What do you want on USATF site?
Jeff Brower of Texas, our link to usatf.org, has rejiggered the masters section of USATF’s Web site. The opening page has links to USA and world masters rankings (but not this site, hmmmm) and the track-meet-in-a-box PDF. But the site is still woefully out of date when it comes to yearly budgets, annual-meeting minutes and the like. And it offers no chair reports since 2006. I’m hoping these inadequacies will be addressed at the Hawaii annual meeting late this month. (The meeting schedule is now posted, BTW.) I can’t attend the Honolulu confab, but that’s not stopping me from expressing myself. Or you. What do you want to see on the USATF Masters site? And take this poll.

The site needs to be updated on a regular basis with fresh content, including pictures. This takes a lot of time and dedication, and while I’m sure Jeff would be up to it, I’m selfish in that I would hate to see it take away from the time he spends organizing meets. He needs to find a Ken Stone or John Dye kind of individual to help. It would also be great to have a Master’s discussion forum similar to http://www.effortlessthrow.org.
Make the master’s page a true internet destination of choice.
I wrote Jeff the following comment.
“I notice that the USATF site has bios for elites in Open Track and Field, Cross Country, Road Racing, and Ultra-Running. How about a bio section for Masters runners? There are many outstanding runners that could be profiled! I don’t know how to get it started, but I’d be happy to help.”
Plenty of information on the site on how I can buy stuff or a membership and zip on meets for 2008 in California. I only joined to see if I can get into some decent meets.
