USATF Club Championships offers masters 800s, relays in Philly
Devon Joan Martin, chair of USATF Club Council, writes: “If you loved running at Penn Relays, you can run at Franklin Field again on June 25 at the USA National Club Championships! USA Club Nationals has always had masters in its relay events including numerous masters relay records set there. Club Nationals has four relays: 4×100, 4×800, DMR and 4×400. This year, we plan to have a separate masters heat for the 4×400 if we have sufficient entries. Again, masters can enter any of the four relays. Maybe a new American Record in the 4×100? We have also added a Special Masters 800 this year. All are welcome in the masters 800. Entry Info & Status of Entries and Registration are here. That’s the good news from the Right Coast. The bad news comes from Bill Murray, Southeast USATF Masters Region coordinator.
Franklin Field, home of Penn Relays and USATF National Club Championships.

NOTICE: SE Region Masters Championship June 18th has been canceled. The Georgia association posted a schedule on its web site which is in conflict with the official schedule posted on the USATF calendar. Georgia refuses to remove the incorrect schedule and I have removed the SE Region sanction from the meet as a result. The Georgia Association Open and Masters portion of the meet will continue with the Georgia schedule. There will be no SE Region Championship or any SE Region awards at the meet. There will be a SE Region Championship later this Summer. Site & date TBD.
Hope they can sort this out. What a bummer.
