USATF blogging real-time news from Albuquerque meet!
USATF has at least one blogger covering the USA Indoor Track & Field Championships. USATF webmaster Katie Landry, a Twitter member, is one of them. She’s been updating the USATF live blog. Check it out here. We learn that Lisa Valle won the masters women’s 1500 exhibition in 4:54, for example. Men up next. This may be a first for USATF — covering a nationals via blog. (I’ve done done it several times, as far back as 2004.) Not easy. But fun!
Example of the blog with masters results:
Everyone in the stadium is clapping as Chaunte attempts 6-6.

Katie, whose title is Internet Publishing Coordinator, apparently is the lone blogger for USATF. She signed off tonight thusly:
I will be back tomorrow for the remainder of the meet. Feel free to send any suggestions my way to katie.landry@usatf.org I am so lucky to be able to watch these races live, I just want to do the best I can to share the excitement with all of you.
Correct me if I am wrong but I do not see any video of these two master events on Runnerspace or Flotrak. It shouldn’t be a big deal to add them since they are already doing to other events. It just makes me mad because I was looking forward to seeing them race.
FloTrack didn’t cover USAs. There might be some user videos from the meet, but they didn’t have any staffers there.
