USATF Masters T&F Awards Committee issues call for nominees
Mary Trotto took over from Dave Clingan as chairman of the USATF Masters T&F Awards Committee (of which I’m a member). Here’s part of what Mary sent her members: “Anyone can nominate any athlete including nominating themselves. Below are those on the committee who volunteered to specifically look at one age group to make sure that we do not overlook any worthy candidates. This is an additional safeguard. Mainly they will wait for the nominations to come in and just before the close of nominations they will check through the list of nominations in their specific age group to make sure all of the worthy candidates have been nominated. At that time, they may nominate additional athletes if appropriate. I am hoping this safeguard will make sure we have not overlooked any worthy athlete.” Have someone to suggest? Write Mary Trotto.
Mary continued:
Those who have agreed to review the performances of a specific age group are:
Bill Benson- Males 80+
Christel Donley: Females 60+
Ron Pate: Males 60-79
Robert Thomas : Males 30-59
The committee will hand out a bunch of award, including the overall Athlete of the Year (to be announced at the Jesse Owens Dinner), the Male and Female Athlete of the Year and, for the age group athletes of the year: 30-59; 60-79 and 80+ There will be 6 male and 6 female winners in the 30-59 and 60-79 age groups and 3 male and 3 female winners in the 80+
The panel also will hand out the David Pain Distinguished Service Award, which I will not get for the third or fourth straight year.
No worries, I’m a friend of David Pain’s. That’s honor enough.
