Whenever the world’s elite marathoners toe the start line alongside popular U.S. runner Meb Keflezighi, they know they’re in for an honest race. In fact, the Skechers Performance sponsored Keflizighi brings new meaning to the word ‘consistent’, with a remarkably homogenous series of marathon times. Consider Meb’s seasons best times since he took up the 26-miler in 2002: 2:12:35 (2002); 2:10:03 (2003); 2:09:53 (2004); 2:09:56 (2005); 2:09:56 (2006); 2:15:09 (2007); 2:09:29 (2009); 2:09:15 (2010); 2:09:13 (2011); 2:09:08 (2012). There are Kenyans who’d give up their racing flats for this staggering string of times! Some distance runners are known for their fast times and their inability to win or place in the “big show”, but Meb proves you can do both and do them well. His performances—starting with Athens Olympic Silver and NYC runner-up in 2004—and followed by none-too-shabby 3rd (NYC, 2005); 3rd (Boston, 2006); 1st (NYC & US Champs, 2009); 5th (Boston, 2010) and 6th (NYC, 2010); 6th (NYC, (2011); 1st (Olympic Trials, 2012) and 4th (London Olympic Games, 2012) indicate that Meb is always a force to be reckoned with. Not bad performances for one of a family of eleven children, who emigrated to the USA from Eritrea to escape war and pursue an education. Now living in San Diego, California, Meb has returned to his hometown but still plans on going back to Mammoth, California for altitude training. Meb continues to cruise through workouts that would cripple most young runners and looks to continue to "Run To Win" to his last race....whenever that may be. Skechers Performance Division signed another endorsement contract in 2012 with Meb. Relatively new to the running shoe mar-

ket, Skechers Performance is primarily known for their innovative and unusual curved sole that encourages mid-foot strike, versus the standard heel strike. Meb’s NYC victory in 2009 made him the first American to win in 27 years (he was sworn in as a US Citizen in 1998) and now that he has a taste for winning the NYC marathon, he’s eager to repeat his victory. With 2012 Olympic Champion and 2013 World Champion, Ugandan Stephen Kiprotich, committed to running this year’s NYC Marathon, plus super-stars like Boston and NYC record holder Geoffrey Mutai, Chicago runner-up Wesley Korir, and American Ryan Hall, Meb’s going to have to work hard to outpace these guys. One consistent rule about marathons is that anything can go wrong at any time, even to the favorites. This year, Meb, who had fallen very hard in early August training run, and missed five weeks of training, had a tough race. “This year, the race was not about me, it was about the sport,” noted a tearful Meb Keflezighi just after his race on November 3, 2013. Meb has fallen very hard in early August, missing five weeks of training. Meb showed what he was made of this year, staying with the leaders through the halfway. “When they took off, I just could not keep up the pace, but I was not going to quit. I had to finish this year.” And finish he did, in twenty-third position, after experiencing some of what most marathoners feel in marathons, both good and bad. “I know that there is another personal best in my legs," Meb noted right after the race. Anyone who watches Meb, knows that he will line up once again, and run his best, in his SKECHERS GoRun 2s.

COACHING AT H L E T I C S Harry Marra is one of the happiest coaches in the world. As he would tell you, “My job is to keep Ashton and Brianna healthy.” Harry Marra coaches Ashton Eaton and Brianna eisen Eaton. He knows multi events like few other coaches in the world of athletics. I met Marra in the early 1980s when he coached at SF State and hosted the Johnny Mathis Invitational, where I would run the 10,000m with my training partners. Marra always found opportunities for athletes. His enthusiasm was infectious. He and Princeton’s Fred Samara were the coaches behind the VISA Decathlon program, which developed 1992 Olympic bronze medalist Dave Johnson, 1996 gold medalist Dan O’Brien and 2000 Olympic bronze medalist Chris Huﬃns. e program funded the top 10 athletes in the decathlon with training camps and support from the living decathletes (then it was Bob Mathias, Milt Campbell, Rafer Johnson, Bill Toomey, Bruce Jenner). It was a tremendous program, supported by VISA’s John Bennett. Last spring Marra told me that he’s one of the luckiest guys in the world. Well, that might be so, but Harry Marra is also one of the hardest-working coaches I’ve ever met.

are crowned 2013 World Athletes of the Year Monaco–Usain Bolt (Jamaica) and Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce (Jamaica) were today named the Male and Female World Athletes of the Year for 2013. Bolt, who won the award for the fifth time, and Fraser-Pryce, a first-time winner, received their trophies at the IAAF World Athletics Gala held at the Salle des Etoiles of the Sporting Club d’Etéin the principality of Monaco. e awards were hosted by International Athletics Foundation (IAF) honorary president HSH Prince Albert II of Monaco and IAF & IAAF president Lamine Diack, who presented the trophies to the male and female winners. Both athletes also receive da prize of $100,000. Usain Bolt, 27, previously the World Athlete of the Year in 2008, 2009, 2011 and 2012, successfully defended both his 100m and 200m titles at the IAAF World Championships in Moscow, winning the latter final in a 2013 world-leading time of 19.66. He concluded his world championships by anchoring a Jamaican quartet to the gold medals in the 4x100m relay. Bolt won ten out of his eleven 100m races (including heats), and was unbeaten in his five races over 200m. “is season will be the one to go for the [200m] world record,” announced Bolt. “I want to get ready to attack the world record,” he added, hinting that below 19 seconds was the target. Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce, 26, regained her 100m title at the 2013 IAAF World Championships, winning in 10.71, which remained the fastest time of the year. After having run the fastest time of the year in the 200m—22.13 at the Jamaican championships in June—she went on to win the gold medal over the longer distance in Moscow. Like her compatriot Bolt, Fraser-Pryce anchored the Jamaican 4x100m team to victory, a national record and the second-fastest time in history. “I’m shocked and excited. It’s something that has been a dream of mine,” said a delighted FraserPryce, who becomes the second Jamaican woman to win, after Merlene Ottey in 1990. “Not all the time do things happen that we want to happen, but this did,” she added.

the start of the year and became the youngest athlete ever to represent the USA at the IAAF World Championships after qualifying for the 1500m, making the final in Moscow. She ran 800m in 1:59.51 at the IAAF Diamond League meeting in Eugene to become the first U.S. youth, junior or high school female runner to go under 2 minutes and improved the U.S. junior 1500m record by almost 5 seconds when she ran 4:04.62 this summer. IAAF COACHING ACHIEVEMENT AWARD Alberto Salazar (USA) Alberto Salazar was an outstanding distance runner in the 1980s, winning the New York City Marathon on three consecutive occasions from 1980–1982. He also won the 1982 Boston Marathon and finished second at the 1982 IAAF World Cross Country Championships. As a coach based in Oregon, Salazar has guided the careers of Great Britain’s double Olympic Games and IAAF World Championships gold medallist Mo Farah as well as a host of top U.S. international runners including Galen Rupp and IAAF Rising Star of the Year Mary Cain. IAAF WORLD JOURNALIST AWARD Gianni Merlo (Italy) Gianni Merlo is a journalist with the Italian newspaper La Gazzetta dello Sport and has served as president of the International Sports Press Association (AIPS), the global body representing sports journalists since 2005. MALE MASTERS ATHLETE OF THE YEAR Charles Allie (USA) Competing in the M65 division, Charles Allie broke outdoor world records in the 200m and 400m this year, running 24.65 and 56.09, respectively, and set an indoor world best of 25.41 in the 200m. FEMALE MASTERS ATHLETE OF THE YEAR Christa Bortignon (Canada) Christa Bortignon, competing in the W75 category, won eight gold medals at the 2013 World Masters Athletics Championships. She holds six W75 world records.

onvincing Victories for Cheserek, D’Agostino at NCAA Cross Country

Championships

By David Monte

TERRE HAUTE, Ind. (23-Nov)–Oregon’s Edward Cheserek ran his ﬁrst-ever NCAA Division I Cross Country Championships here today, while Dartmouth’s Abbey D’Agostino ran her last. But both student-athletes won their ﬁrst individual titles at these 75-year-old championships in convincing fashion, braving subfreezing temperatures, strong winds and a muddy course. In the team competition, the University of Colorado and Providence College clinched the men’s and women’s team titles, respectively.

CHESEREK REELS IN KITHUKA

D’AGOSTINO RUNS SMART RACE In the women’s 6K contest, Iona College’s Kate Avery—who has won two international track medals for her native Great Britain—launched to the lead right from the gun. She had a 3-second lead over the main group, which included Kentucky’s Cally Macumber, Providence’s Sarah Collins, Butler’s Katie Clark, Boise State’s Emma Bates, Dartmouth’s D’Agostino and Florida State’s Colleen Quigley. Avery said she hadn’t planned to take the lead so early. “It just turned out that way,” she told reporters after the race, saying that the pack was running just a little slow for her taste. Surprisingly, Avery held that 3-second lead through 4000 meters (13:07.2), but D’Agostino said she wasn’t worried. Her face and legs greased with olive oil to protect her skin from the cold, she moved gently to the front of the chase pack, then picked up her pace to catch Avery. “We had talked about that, and we knew that sometimes that’s happened before, [like] when I was a sophomore here,” D’Agostino said. “We just kind of eased our way up and we knew the gap was closing. e pace didn’t feel out of control to me. I knew there was 2K to do it, and it just had to be gradual.” Within minutes, D’Agostino—who had ﬁnished second at these championships last year— passed Avery and was quickly running alone. Striding smoothly through the muddy grass, D'Agostino held her form to ﬁnish in 20:00.3, much to the delight of her coach, Olympian Mark Coogan, and her parents. D’Agostino said her victory was particularly sweet be-

e men’s 10K race went out conservatively, and defending champion Kennedy Kithuka of Texas Tech was at the front of a eight-man lead pack at 3000 meters (8:27.1). Cheserek was running second, joined by Arkansas’ Kemoy Campbell, North Carolina State’s Andrew Colley, Harvard’s Maksim Korolev and others. Cheserek said he felt strong, but wanted to wait before pressing the pace because he was feeling the effects of the strong winds. “I was trying to come around but the wind was coming towards me,” he said. But Kithuka had other ideas. Between 3000 and 5000 meters, Kithuka upped the tempo and broke up the race. He dropped everybody except Cheserek, who was right on his heels through the 5K mark (14:35.0). Kithuka quickly began to get antsy and decided to try to put the race away. “We came like 14:32, 14:38; it was a slow pace for me,” Kithuka told Race Results Weekly. He continued, “It was too slow.” Within a few meters, Kithuka opened up a big lead on Cheserek, and for a short time it looked like Kithuka would be earning his second consecutive title for the Red Raiders. But Cheserek remained patient and focused and started to whittle away at Kithuka’s lead. By the 8000 meter mark (23:35.5), Kithuka’s gap had fallen to just 2 seconds, and Cheserek was smelling victory. “I kept pushing it,” Cheserek said. “en I finally decided that the wind was probably behind me, and I was just, like, I have to go.” Kithuka gave no response, and Cheserek quickly pulled away to win by a comfortable 18 seconds in 29:41.1. Kithuka held his second-place position (29:59.1), while Harvard’s Maksim Korolev finished third (29:59.5). Cheserek was one of only a handful of freshmen (first-year student) to have won these championships. Lawi Lalang (Arizona) was a freshman in cross country when he won in 2011, but had already competed in indoor track the same year. David Kimani (South Alabama) was a freshman when he won in 1999, but

was 22 years old. e last “true” freshman (18 or 19 years old, and a ﬁrst-year student) to win was Bob Kennedy (Indiana) in 1988. Like Kennedy, Cheserek was also crowned USA high school champion the year before. In the team competition, Colorado only put one man in the top-10 (freshman Ben Saarel), but won the points title nonetheless over #1-ranked Northern Arizona, 149 to 169. Defending champion Oklahoma State was third with 230 points.

cause she got to share it with her Dartmouth team, which finished 16th. “It’s incredible,” said D’Agostino. “I know that I couldn’t have done it without my team here, because that was like the one missing piece when I was here the last couple of years. We were talking about it last night. To have these girls with me on the line was like ... there’s nothing to worry about. You know your family is here.” Behind D’Agostino, both Emma Bates and Stanford’s Aisling Cuffe were taking full advantage of their sprint speed to advance their positions. Bates blew by Avery to take second (20:03.9), Avery got third (20:05.4) and Cuffe finished fourth (20:09.3). Bates, who told Race Results Weekly that she sometimes

had trouble believing in her own abilities, was thrilled with her runner-up finish. “I could see the finish line and I just wanted to pump as hard as I could for as long as I could and get there,” Bates explained. “It was really tough.” Avery said she hoped to be selected for the British team for the European Cross Country Championships in Belgrade. “If they pick me,” she said. Ray Treacy’s Providence Lady Friars were led by senior Emily Sisson (seventh place) and won easily with 141 points to Arizona’s 197. Defending champions Oregon—who lost Jordan Hasay to graduation—finished 14th.

(15-Nov)–After a record-smashing year that culminated in a 10th-place finish at the IAAF World Championships 1500m, Bronxville High School middle-distance standout Mary Cain has decided to become a professional athlete at the age of 17. She will continue to be coached by Alberto Salazar and will now be represented by Ricky Simms of PACE Sports Management. “For the past couple of months, my family and I have been debating whether I should compete at a collegiate or professional level going forward,” Cain said through a statement circulated to the media. “I have decided, and am truly excited to announce, that I will be turning pro. I believe that, in the long run, this is the best way for me continue to develop as an athlete.” Cain enjoyed a magical season in 2013 where she excited crowds on both coasts with her record runs. She set USA junior records at 800m (1:59.51; later surpassed by Ajee’ Wilson’s 1:58.21), 1500m (4:04.62), indoor 1500m and mile (4:11.72/ 4:28.25), and indoor 3000m and 2 miles (9:04.51/ 9:38.68). She won the USA indoor mile title in Albuquerque last March and finished second in the 1500m at the USA Outdoor Championships in Des Moines last June to earn her place on the World Championships team for Moscow. At 16 years old, she was the youngest-ever athlete to compete in a world championships 1500m final.

“I’m not even like sad, I’m just like angry,” Cain told the media after that race. “And I think that’s a good thing. I think that this was all a learning experience this whole meet.” Simms said today that Cain will ﬁnish high school as scheduled in the spring of 2014; no plans for college were revealed, except that she planned to continue her education. Her parents, Charlie and Mary, said that they fully supported their daughter’s decision to turn pro. “How to proceed was always going to be a diﬃcult choice,” said Charlie Cain through a statement. “Mary is a straight-A student and will be pursuing a college education while competing. is remains a priority, and we think this approach is the best way to balance her educational and athletic goals.” PACE Sports Management represents other important athletes who are coached by Alberto Salazar, including double Olympic champion Mo Farah, 2009 world half-marathon bronze medalist Dathan Ritzenhein, Olympic silver medalist Galen Rupp and 2009 world championships 1500m bronze medalist Shannon Rowbury.

USATF Prepares for NEW HEIGHTS in DYNAMIC OLYMPIAD A Conversation with Bill Roe of USATF’s Long Distance Running Division By Mark Winitz

Great Edinburgh International Cross Country meet in Scotland where Team USA’s senior men’s team placed first and the women’s squad placed second. Then in late March, in one of the most surprising performances in recent memory, Team USA’s senior men’s team earned a silver medal at the IAAF World Cross Country Championships in Bydgoszcz, Poland. The senior women’s team placed fourth.

Bill, can you describe some of your primary goals for USA Long Distance Running from now through 2016? As a prefacing statement, I think LDR as a whole within USATF can generally be regarded as the healthiest part of the sport. It has the biggest distance component and the most number of active participants according to statistics from Running USA and others. The membership of the Road Runners Club of America alone, is larger than USATF’s membership, although their method of membership is easy and quite inexpensive, and not really an individual matter. It’s done by RRCA member clubs. USATF is doing a great job of getting the LDR elite athletes’ side of things right. A lot of what Glenn Latimer and Virginia Brophy Achman [immediate past USATF Men’s LDR and Women’s LDR committee chairs] have done over the last few years is very commendable. But one of the priorities of

Bill Roe was elected to serve a four-year term as chair of USATF’s Long Distance Running Division at the organization’s 2012 Annual Meeting, succeeding former chair Fred Finke. Roe’s résumé includes work in nearly all capacities of the sport as a coach, meet director, clinician, official, administrator and executive. The founder (in 1972) of Seattle’s Club Northwest also has a perspective on the U.S. track & field federation that few others can claim. He is the only person in the organization to serve as an elected officer for 20 years. During Roe’s two terms as USATF president (2000–2008), the organization crafted a major restructuring of its board, announced a pioneering zero-tolerance drug initiative, created a foundation to financially support USATF programs and athletes, and sent track & field teams to the 2004 and 2008 Olympic Games who led the medals count. In addition, Roe was a member of the founding USATF board of directors and has served the organization in capacities as vice president and secretary. Roe has also been a member of countless USATF committees and task forces on the local, regional and national levels. Roe now leads USATF’s LDR Division which is composed of the federation’s Men’s, Women’s and Masters’ LDR Committees, Mountain/Ultra/Trail Sport Council, Cross Country Running Council and Road Running Technical Council. His tenure got off to a favorable start in early 2013 at the

USATF’s board is to increase overall membership. I think they’re going to look at LDR to provide some of these increased membership numbers. And they’re going to look at how we can attract more people coming out of the schools community. So one goal is building membership.

multiple races. They are primarily fitness-oriented folks, something we need to encourage.

Of course, USATF has attempted to tackle this in the past. Bill, you remember in the 1980s and 1990s when USATF encouraged major marathons to require that their entrants have USATF membership. That didn’t go over well with many recreational runners.

Yes, another goal is build upon what Fred Finke [former USATF LDR Division chair], along with the LDR committees, did over the past eight years—to continue the competitive strength of U.S. distance runners on the international scene. Our London [Olympic Games] LDR returns alone indicate that we’re doing something right. But if we can’t encourage and support our best athletes to attend world championship events, then we’re putting our primary focus on only one international event every quadrennial: the Olympic marathon. The reality is that the mindset of every [elite or emerging elite] U.S. distance runner and their coach is on the Olympic dream. Of course, being a cross country enthusiast, one of my goals has always been not only to have a world cross country or world half marathon championship in the U.S., but also to have cross country as part of the Olympics again, like it was back in the 1920s. When I was USATF president, I did promulgate that goal. Before I knew it, [IAAF president] Lamine Diack was buying into the concept and approached the International Olympic Committee about putting cross country into the Winter Olympics. Unfortunately, the U.S. Olympic Committee [USOC] doesn’t even recognize that cross country is a valid part of raising the next U.S. generation of marathoners. They won’t fund anything USATF does in cross country, which is a very shortsighted viewpoint. Almost every good middle distance and distance runner we’ve had in the last 50 or 60 years has competed in cross country on the school level. At this point, it doesn’t seem like we can do much to change the USOC’s view, but we’re going to try.

Yes, it didn’t work very well, particularly since we weren’t providing anything for those members. There was the lame, perpetually late, USATF magazine and the pretty-much-useless second-tier insurance that very few people were able to use. The marathons were pretty justified in dropping the membership requirement when they did. I was one of the people warning Ollan Cassell [former executive director of the U.S. Track & Field federation] that it was going to happen. When Craig Masback [Cassell’s successor] got into the executive director position, there was nothing he could do on the spur of the moment to encourage a sudden benefits program. In the meantime, our membership bottomed out at about 60,000. Last year’s USATF membership was back up to about 114,000. These increases over the last 12 years have been primarily due to USATF associations—such as Pacific, New England and New Jersey—that offer distance runners complete LDR programs. These programs are the best practices that we want to emulate for every other association. Plus, there are 1.5 million people competing in school [high school and collegiate] track & field and cross country programs. And there are approximately 9 million people running in road runs in the U.S. each year. Some of these are one-opt folks, but the large percentage of them are probably doing 12CA

What are some of your other goals for LDR? How about in respect to our U.S. distance teams in world championships, etc.?

What are your priorities regarding the development of emerging elite U.S. distance runners? My experience tells me that the more people you have aspiring to the highest level, the better you’ll do at that level. One of the key foundations of our LDR development efforts has been the LDR training groups. One of the best moves we made in the late 1990s and early part of the previous decade was to get LDR training centers supported and formed. A number of these groups—such as the HansonsBrooks Distance Project—did it independently, without much help from USATF and our very limited resources. Unfortunately, a lot of the development work that these groups perform isn’t recognized by the USOC for high performance financial awards.

I was surprised to learn that there are now 13 designated USA Distance Project training centers. That’s a fair amount of progress in a dozen years. Plus, I think that our USATF Elite Development Clubs [EDCs]—even though they’re not recognized at the same level as the LDR training centers—also show great promise. They’re helping to keep our long distance runners in the sport longer [by offering structured, club-based local training environments that serve the needs of highly competitive “open” athletes – Editor]. For example, Club Northwest doesn’t have much of a budget and we don’t get any [financial support] from USA Track & Field or Running USA, but we’ve still had athletes make U.S. international teams. The key is that both the LDR training centers and EDCs are club-based. We have to continue to work toward more group training environments for our talented athletes. We need to continue working toward finding money to support the development of elite distance runners. I’d love to be able to tell all Continued on page 14

Tom O’Connor

MARK WINITZ is a longtime writer for American Track & Field. He sits on USATF’s national Men’s Long Distance Running executive committee and the Law & Legislation committee. He also sits on Pacific Association/USATF’s board of athletics and is a certified USATF master level official/referee.

the folks who put on road races that even a 1% contribution to USATF for this development would be very valuable. I’m not sure we’ll ever get there, but they have to realize that the overall health of the sport involves more than their particular race. It entails the involvement of the overall LDR community.

Of course, our national LDR championship/USA Running Circuit events are fine examples of the kind of support that’s required to develop our best athletes by providing competitive opportunities. Do you have any priorities for this LDR championship program? We have an overwhelming, at times, championship program. Bringing consistency and quality to this program is something that I want to continue to work on—not having any more championships at the sub-$20,000 prize money level, working everything up to a higher level so we support our athletes more.

USATF

How about your thoughts on getting more coaches involved in USATF LDR affairs? Of course, coaches are a key ingredient for our developmental success.

14CA

Yes, the importance of coaches is a nobrainer for me. I’ve been a coach for 40 years, the past 25 at Western Washington University in cross country and track & field. I know the value and the place for coaches in decision-making. USATF has obviously had some of the best coaches involved in our LDR successes. Bob Larsen, Joe Vigil and coaches of their caliber have been involved with our programs. Involving more coaches is a dilemma because most of them are in the school community. The school community sort of mandates that these coaches be a part of USTFCCCA [U.S. Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Assn.]. Particularly if they must make a choice, their athletic directors and conferences are asking that coaches attend the USTFCCCA annual meeting—and miss USATF’s. So it’s tough to get some of these coaches involved in USATF. We just need to continue to reach out and point out the value of being part of our organization,

and that there are roles for them to play in development, international competition, budgetary matters—a whole host of areas. One of biggest conundrums is just getting school community coaches to continue to work with their school’s athletes after the athletes are out of the school system. Even if they maintained relationships with athletes they’ve coached, it would be a big step forward.

How about helping USATF keep abreast of the talented up-and-comers who are coming out of the schools? Is there a role for coaches here? I’m not sure, given all the rankings and lists out there. If we forget these up-and-comers, the [online forums and many running-related sites] aren’t going to. There are all sorts of avenues for finding out about talent. Plus, the hallmark of all of our programs is that athletes select themselves. So an athlete who thinks they have a shot at being on a U.S. team, which is their ultimate goal, has the right to show up at a trial and try to make that team. We can help them by broadening the amount of support that we provide to help get them to these trials. A lot of athletes coming out of college are facing thousands of dollars of student loan debt. They just can’t entirely concentrate on running. They have to face reality. One of USATF’s missions must be to help them avoid reality for a little while longer.

Is there anything else you’d like to mention regarding your objectives as USATF LDR Division chair in the current Olympiad? Not in particular. It’s a big arena that I’ve reentered here at USATF, and it’s changed— for the better, I think—even since I was president of the organization. Many of things being accomplished are very good. My predecessors in LDR put us on the right path, and we must stay on it. We have to keep the visibility of running and our U.S. athletes in front of everyone. Mark, I appreciate the time that you and American Track & Field have spent with me.
