National chair Gary Snyder says Sabra Harvey and Don McGee — both national champions at Michigan — have been awarded $1,500 each to help defray expenses to Perth worlds. Kudos to you! Masters LDR gave M50 walker Dave Swarts $500 (one of two applicants). He was chosen by Paul Carlin and Lloyd Hensen, says Mary Rosado. Gary says 41 applications came in for the USATF Masters T&F stipends. The top two were chosen by Gary and USA Team Manager Phil Greenwald. Sabra and Don were considered the most likely to win multiple medals at the 2016 world meet. Sabra, a W65 middle-distance star and record-holder (profiled here), won the 800, 1500 and 5000 in Michigan. Don won M55 100, 200 and relay golds at Grand Valley State University.
