��Whenever the world’s elite marathoners toe the start line alongsidepopular U.S. runner Meb Keflezighi, they know they’re in for an hon-est race. In fact, the Skechers Performance sponsored Keflizighibrings new meaning to the word ‘consistent’, with a remarkably ho-mogenous 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 Kenyanswho’d give up their racing flats for this staggering string of times!

Some distance runners are known for their fast times andtheir inability to win or place in the “big show”, but Meb proves youcan do both and do them well. His performances—starting withAthens Olympic Silver and NYC runner-up in 2004—and followedby 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 (Lon-don Olympic Games, 2012) indicate that Meb is always a forceto 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 pursuean education. Now living in San Diego, California, Meb has returnedto his hometown but still plans on going back to Mammoth, Californiafor altitude training. Meb continues to cruise through workouts thatwould cripple most young runners and looks to continue to "Run ToWin" to his last race....whenever that may be.

Skechers Performance Division signed another endorsementcontract in 2012 with Meb. Relatively new to the running shoe mar-

ket, Skechers Performance is primarily known for their innovativeand unusual curved sole that encourages mid-foot strike, versusthe standard heel strike.

Meb’s NYC victory in 2009 made him the first American towin in 27 years (he was sworn in as a US Citizen in 1998) andnow that he has a taste for winning the NYC marathon, he’s eagerto repeat his victory.

With 2012 Olympic Champion and 2013 World Champion,Ugandan Stephen Kiprotich, committed to running this year’s NYCMarathon, plus super-stars like Boston and NYC record holder Ge-offrey Mutai, Chicago runner-up Wesley Korir, and American RyanHall, Meb’s going to have to work hard to outpace these guys.

One consistent rule about marathons is that anything can gowrong at any time, even to the favorites. This year, Meb, who hadfallen very hard in early August training run, and missed five weeksof 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 weeksof training. Meb showed what he was made of this year, staying withthe leaders through the halfway. “When they took off, I just could notkeep 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 someof what most marathoners feel in marathons, both good and bad.

“I know that there is another personal best in my legs," Mebnoted right after the race. Anyone who watches Meb, knows thathe will line up once again, and run his best, in his SKECHERSGoRun 2s.

Harry Marra is one of the happiest coaches in the world.As he would tell you, “My job is to keep Ashton and Bri-anna healthy.”

Harry Marra coaches Ashton Eaton and Briannaeisen Eaton. He knows multi events like few othercoaches in the world of athletics. I met Marra in the early1980s when he coached at SF State and hosted the JohnnyMathis Invitational, where I would run the 10,000m withmy training partners. Marra always found opportunitiesfor athletes. His enthusiasm was infectious.

He and Princeton’s Fred Samara were the coaches be-hind the VISA Decathlon program, which developed1992 Olympic bronze medalist Dave Johnson, 1996 goldmedalist Dan O’Brien and 2000 Olympic bronze medal-ist Chris Huffins. e program funded the top 10 athletesin the decathlon with training camps and support fromthe living decathletes (then it was Bob Mathias, MiltCampbell, Rafer Johnson, Bill Toomey, Bruce Jenner). Itwas a tremendous program, supported by VISA’s JohnBennett.

Last spring Marra told me that he’s one of the luckiestguys in the world. Well, that might be so, but Harry Marrais also one of the hardest-working coaches I’ve ever met.

He concluded his world championships by an-choring a Jamaican quartet to the gold medals in the4x100m relay. Bolt won ten out of his eleven 100mraces (including heats), and was unbeaten in his fiveraces 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 tar-get.

Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce, 26, regained her 100mtitle at the 2013 IAAF World Championships, win-ning in 10.71, which remained the fastest time of theyear. After having run the fastest time of the year inthe 200m—22.13 at the Jamaican championships inJune—she went on to win the gold medal over thelonger distance in Moscow.

Like her compatriot Bolt, Fraser-Pryce an-chored the Jamaican 4x100m team to victory, a na-tional record and the second-fastest time in history.

“I’m shocked and excited. It’s something thathas been a dream of mine,” said a delighted Fraser-Pryce, who becomes the second Jamaican woman towin, after Merlene Ottey in 1990.

“Not all the time do things happen that wewant to happen, but this did,” she added.

CHESEREK REELS IN KITHUKA

e men’s 10K race went out conservatively, and de-fending champion Kennedy Kithuka of Texas Techwas at the front of a eight-man lead pack at 3000 me-ters (8:27.1). Cheserek was running second, joinedby Arkansas’ Kemoy Campbell, North CarolinaState’s Andrew Colley, Harvard’s Maksim Korolevand others. Cheserek said he felt strong, but wantedto wait before pressing the pace because he was feelingthe effects of the strong winds.

“I was trying to come around but the wind wascoming towards me,” he said.

But Kithuka had other ideas. Between 3000and 5000 meters, Kithuka upped the tempo andbroke up the race. He dropped everybody exceptCheserek, who was right on his heels through the 5Kmark (14:35.0). Kithuka quickly began to get antsyand decided to try to put the race away.

“We came like 14:32, 14:38; it was a slow pacefor me,” Kithuka told Race Results Weekly. He contin-ued, “It was too slow.”

Within a few meters, Kithuka opened up a biglead on Cheserek, and for a short time it looked likeKithuka would be earning his second consecutive titlefor the Red Raiders. But Cheserek remained patientand focused and started to whittle away at Kithuka’slead. By the 8000 meter mark (23:35.5), Kithuka’sgap had fallen to just 2 seconds, and Cheserek wassmelling victory.

“I kept pushing it,” Cheserek said. “en I fi-nally decided that the wind was probably behind me,and I was just, like, I have to go.”

Kithuka gave no response, and Cheserekquickly pulled away to win by a comfortable 18 sec-onds in 29:41.1. Kithuka held his second-place po-sition (29:59.1), while Harvard’s Maksim Korolevfinished 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 coun-try when he won in 2011, but had already competedin indoor track the same year. David Kimani (SouthAlabama) was a freshman when he won in 1999, but

was 22 years old. e last “true” freshman (18 or 19years old, and a first-year student) to win was BobKennedy (Indiana) in 1988. Like Kennedy, Cheserekwas also crowned USA high school champion theyear before.

In the team competition, Colorado only putone man in the top-10 (freshman Ben Saarel), butwon the points title nonetheless over #1-rankedNorthern Arizona, 149 to 169. Defending championOklahoma State was third with 230 points.

D’AGOSTINO RUNS SMART RACE

In the women’s 6K contest, Iona College’s KateAvery—who has won two international track medalsfor her native Great Britain—launched to the leadright from the gun. She had a 3-second lead over themain group, which included Kentucky’s CallyMacumber, Providence’s Sarah Collins, Butler’s KatieClark, Boise State’s Emma Bates, Dartmouth’sD’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 reportersafter the race, saying that the pack was running justa little slow for her taste.

Surprisingly, Avery held that 3-second leadthrough 4000 meters (13:07.2), but D’Agostino saidshe wasn’t worried. Her face and legs greased witholive oil to protect her skin from the cold, she movedgently to the front of the chase pack, then picked upher pace to catch Avery.

“We had talked about that, and we knew thatsometimes that’s happened before, [like] when I wasa sophomore here,” D’Agostino said. “We just kindof eased our way up and we knew the gap was closing.e pace didn’t feel out of control to me. I knew therewas 2K to do it, and it just had to be gradual.”

Within minutes, D’Agostino—who had fin-ished second at these championships last year—passed Avery and was quickly running alone. Stridingsmoothly through the muddy grass, D'Agostino heldher form to finish in 20:00.3, much to the delight ofher coach, Olympian Mark Coogan, and her parents.D’Agostino said her victory was particularly sweet be-

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

(15-Nov)–After a record-smashing year that culmi-nated in a 10th-place finish at the IAAF WorldChampionships 1500m, Bronxville High Schoolmiddle-distance standout Mary Cain has decided tobecome a professional athlete at the age of 17. Shewill continue to be coached by Alberto Salazar andwill now be represented by Ricky Simms of PACESports Management.

“For the past couple of months, my family andI have been debating whether I should compete ata collegiate or professional level going forward,”Cain said through a statement circulated to themedia. “I have decided, and am truly excited to an-nounce, that I will be turning pro. I believe that, inthe long run, this is the best way for me continueto develop as an athlete.”

Cain enjoyed a magical season in 2013 whereshe excited crowds on both coasts with her recordruns. 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 Al-buquerque last March and finished second in the1500m at the USA Outdoor Championships in DesMoines last June to earn her place on the WorldChampionships team for Moscow. At 16 years old,she was the youngest-ever athlete to compete in aworld championships 1500m final.

“I’m not even like sad, I’m just like angry,”Cain told the media after that race. “And I thinkthat’s a good thing. I think that this was all a learn-ing experience this whole meet.”

Simms said today that Cain will finish highschool as scheduled in the spring of 2014; no plansfor college were revealed, except that she planned tocontinue her education. Her parents, Charlie andMary, said that they fully supported their daughter’sdecision to turn pro.

“How to proceed was always going to be a diffi-cult choice,” said Charlie Cain through a statement.“Mary is a straight-A student and will be pursuing acollege education while competing. is remains apriority, and we think this approach is the best wayto balance her educational and athletic goals.”

PACE Sports Management represents otherimportant athletes who are coached by AlbertoSalazar, including double Olympic champion MoFarah, 2009 world half-marathon bronze medalistDathan Ritzenhein, Olympic silver medalist GalenRupp and 2009 world championships 1500mbronze medalist Shannon Rowbury.

cause she got to share it with her Dartmouth team,which finished 16th.

“It’s incredible,” said D’Agostino. “I know thatI couldn’t have done it without my team here, be-cause that was like the one missing piece when I washere the last couple of years. We were talking aboutit last night. To have these girls with me on the linewas like ... there’s nothing to worry about. You knowyour family is here.”

Behind D’Agostino, both Emma Bates andStanford’s Aisling Cuffe were taking full advantage oftheir sprint speed to advance their positions. Batesblew by Avery to take second (20:03.9), Avery gotthird (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 thrilledwith her runner-up finish.

“I could see the finish line and I just wanted topump as hard as I could for as long as I could and getthere,” Bates explained. “It was really tough.”

Avery said she hoped to be selected for theBritish team for the European Cross Country Cham-pionships in Belgrade.

“If they pick me,” she said.Ray Treacy’s Providence Lady Friars were led by

senior Emily Sisson (seventh place) and won easilywith 141 points to Arizona’s 197. Defending cham-pions Oregon—who lost Jordan Hasay to gradua-tion—finished 14th.

Bill Roe was elected to serve a four-yearterm as chair of USATF’s Long DistanceRunning Division at the organization’s 2012Annual Meeting, succeeding former chairFred Finke. Roe’s résumé includes work innearly all capacities of the sport as a coach,meet director, clinician, official, administra-tor and executive. The founder (in 1972) ofSeattle’s Club Northwest also has a per-spective on the U.S. track & field federationthat few others can claim. He is the onlyperson in the organization to serve as anelected officer for 20 years. During Roe’stwo terms as USATF president (2000–2008),the organization crafted a major restructur-ing of its board, announced a pioneeringzero-tolerance drug initiative, created afoundation to financially support USATFprograms and athletes, and sent track &field teams to the 2004 and 2008 OlympicGames who led the medals count.

In addition, Roe was a member of thefounding USATF board of directors and hasserved the organization in capacities as vicepresident and secretary. Roe has also beena member of countless USATF committeesand task forces on the local, regional andnational levels.

Roe now leads USATF’s LDR Divisionwhich is composed of the federation’sMen’s, Women’s and Masters’ LDR Com-mittees, Mountain/Ultra/Trail Sport Council,Cross Country Running Council and RoadRunning Technical Council. His tenure gotoff to a favorable start in early 2013 at the

Great Edinburgh International Cross Coun-try meet in Scotland where Team USA’s sen-ior men’s team placed first and thewomen’s squad placed second. Then in lateMarch, in one of the most surprising per-formances in recent memory, Team USA’ssenior men’s team earned a silver medal atthe IAAF World Cross Country Champi-onships in Bydgoszcz, Poland. The seniorwomen’s team placed fourth.

Bill, can you describe some of your primary goals for USA Long DistanceRunning from now through 2016?

As a prefacing statement, I think LDR as awhole within USATF can generally be re-garded as the healthiest part of the sport.It has the biggest distance component andthe most number of active participants ac-cording to statistics from Running USA andothers. The membership of the Road Run-ners Club of America alone, is larger thanUSATF’s membership, although theirmethod of membership is easy and quite in-expensive, and not really an individual mat-ter. It’s done by RRCA member clubs.

USATF is doing a great job of gettingthe LDR elite athletes’ side of things right. Alot of what Glenn Latimer and Virginia Bro-phy Achman [immediate past USATF Men’sLDR and Women’s LDR committee chairs]have done over the last few years is verycommendable. But one of the priorities of

USATF’s board is to increase overallmembership. I think they’re going tolook at LDR to provide some of theseincreased membership numbers.And they’re going to look at how wecan attract more people coming outof the schools community. So onegoal is building membership.

Of course, USATF has attemptedto tackle this in the past. Bill, youremember in the 1980s and 1990swhen USATF encouraged majormarathons to require that theirentrants have USATF membership.That didn’t go over well withmany recreational runners.

Yes, it didn’t work very well, particu-larly since we weren’t providing any-thing for those members. There wasthe lame, perpetually late, USATFmagazine and the pretty-much-use-less second-tier insurance that veryfew people were able to use. Themarathons were pretty justified indropping the membership require-ment when they did. I was one ofthe people warning Ollan Cassell[former executive director of theU.S. Track & Field federation] that itwas going to happen. When CraigMasback [Cassell’s successor] gotinto the executive director position,there was nothing he could do onthe spur of the moment to encour-age a sudden benefits program.

In the meantime, our member-ship bottomed out at about 60,000.Last year’s USATF membership wasback up to about 114,000. These in-creases over the last 12 years havebeen primarily due to USATF asso-ciations—such as Pacific, New Eng-land and New Jersey—that offerdistance runners complete LDR pro-grams. These programs are the bestpractices that we want to emulatefor every other association.

Plus, there are 1.5 million peo-ple competing in school [highschool and collegiate] track & fieldand cross country programs. Andthere are approximately 9 millionpeople running in road runs in theU.S. each year. Some of these areone-opt folks, but the large percent-age of them are probably doing

multiple races. They are primarily fit-ness-oriented folks, something weneed to encourage.

What are some of your othergoals for LDR? How about in re-spect to our U.S. distance teamsin world championships, etc.?

Yes, another goal is build upon whatFred Finke [former USATF LDR Divi-sion chair], along with the LDR com-mittees, did over the past eightyears—to continue the competitivestrength of U.S. distance runners onthe international scene. Our London[Olympic Games] LDR returns aloneindicate that we’re doing somethingright. But if we can’t encourage andsupport our best athletes to attendworld championship events, thenwe’re putting our primary focus ononly one international event everyquadrennial: the Olympic marathon.The reality is that the mindset ofevery [elite or emerging elite] U.S.distance runner and their coach ison the Olympic dream.

Of course, being a cross coun-try enthusiast, one of my goals hasalways been not only to have aworld cross country or world halfmarathon championship in the U.S.,but also to have cross country aspart of the Olympics again, like itwas back in the 1920s. When I wasUSATF president, I did promulgatethat goal. Before I knew it, [IAAFpresident] Lamine Diack was buyinginto the concept and approachedthe International Olympic Commit-tee about putting cross country intothe Winter Olympics.

Unfortunately, the U.S. OlympicCommittee [USOC] doesn’t evenrecognize that cross country is avalid part of raising the next U.S.generation of marathoners. Theywon’t fund anything USATF does incross country, which is a very short-sighted viewpoint. Almost everygood middle distance and distancerunner we’ve had in the last 50 or 60years has competed in cross countryon the school level. At this point, itdoesn’t seem like we can do muchto change the USOC’s view, butwe’re going to try.

What are your priorities regardingthe development of emergingelite U.S. distance runners?

My experience tells me that themore people you have aspiring tothe highest level, the better you’lldo at that level. One of the keyfoundations of our LDR develop-ment efforts has been the LDR train-ing groups. One of the best moveswe made in the late 1990s and earlypart of the previous decade was toget LDR training centers supportedand formed. A number of thesegroups—such as the Hansons-Brooks Distance Project—did it in-dependently, without much helpfrom USATF and our very limited re-sources. Unfortunately, a lot of thedevelopment work that thesegroups perform isn’t recognized bythe USOC for high performance fi-nancial awards.

I was surprised to learn that thereare now 13 designated USA Dis-tance Project training centers.That’s a fair amount of progress ina dozen years.

Plus, I think that our USATF Elite De-velopment Clubs [EDCs]—eventhough they’re not recognized atthe same level as the LDR trainingcenters—also show great promise.They’re helping to keep our longdistance runners in the sport longer[by offering structured, club-basedlocal training environments thatserve the needs of highly competi-tive “open” athletes – Editor]. Forexample, Club Northwest doesn’thave much of a budget and wedon’t get any [financial support]from USA Track & Field or RunningUSA, but we’ve still had athletesmake U.S. international teams. Thekey is that both the LDR trainingcenters and EDCs are club-based.We have to continue to work towardmore group training environmentsfor our talented athletes.

We need to continue workingtoward finding money to supportthe development of elite distancerunners. I’d love to be able to tell all

USATF

MARK WINITZ is a longtimewriter for American Track &Field. He sits on USATF’snational Men’s Long Dis-tance Running executive committee andthe Law & Legislation committee. He also sits onPacific Association/USATF’sboard of athletics and is acertified USATF masterlevel official/referee.

the folks who put on road races that even a1% contribution to USATF for this develop-ment would be very valuable. I’m not surewe’ll ever get there, but they have to realizethat the overall health of the sport involvesmore than their particular race. It entails theinvolvement of the overall LDR community.

Of course, our national LDR champi-onship/USA Running Circuit events arefine examples of the kind of supportthat’s required to develop our best ath-letes by providing competitive opportuni-ties. Do you have any priorities for thisLDR championship program?

We have an overwhelming, at times, champi-onship program. Bringing consistency andquality to this program is something that Iwant to continue to work on—not having anymore championships at the sub-$20,000 prizemoney level, working everything up to ahigher level so we support our athletes more.

How about your thoughts on gettingmore coaches involved in USATF LDR affairs? Of course, coaches are a key in-gredient for our developmental success.

Yes, the importance of coaches is a no-brainer for me. I’ve been a coach for 40years, the past 25 at Western WashingtonUniversity in cross country and track & field.I know the value and the place for coachesin decision-making. USATF has obviouslyhad some of the best coaches involved inour LDR successes. Bob Larsen, Joe Vigiland coaches of their caliber have been in-volved with our programs.

Involving more coaches is a dilemmabecause most of them are in the school com-munity. The school community sort of man-dates that these coaches be a part ofUSTFCCCA [U.S. Track & Field and CrossCountry Coaches Assn.]. Particularly if theymust make a choice, their athletic directorsand conferences are asking that coaches at-tend the USTFCCCA annual meeting—andmiss USATF’s. So it’s tough to get some ofthese coaches involved in USATF. We justneed to continue to reach out and point outthe value of being part of our organization,

and that there are roles for them to play indevelopment, international competition,budgetary matters—a whole host of areas.

One of biggest conundrums is just get-ting school community coaches to continue towork with their school’s athletes after the ath-letes are out of the school system. Even if theymaintained relationships with athletes they’vecoached, it would be a big step forward.

How about helping USATF keep abreastof the talented up-and-comers who arecoming out of the schools? Is there a rolefor coaches here?

I’m not sure, given all the rankings and listsout there. If we forget these up-and-comers,the [online forums and many running-relatedsites] aren’t going to. There are all sorts ofavenues for finding out about talent. Plus,the hallmark of all of our programs is thatathletes select themselves. So an athletewho thinks they have a shot at being on aU.S. team, which is their ultimate goal, hasthe right to show up at a trial and try to makethat team. We can help them by broadeningthe amount of support that we provide tohelp get them to these trials. A lot of ath-letes coming out of college are facing thou-sands of dollars of student loan debt. Theyjust can’t entirely concentrate on running.They have to face reality. One of USATF’smissions must be to help them avoid realityfor a little while longer.

Is there anything else you’d like to mention regarding your objectives asUSATF LDR Division chair in the currentOlympiad?

Not in particular. It’s a big arena that I’vereentered here at USATF, and it’s changed—for the better, I think—even since I was pres-ident of the organization. Many of thingsbeing accomplished are very good. Mypredecessors in LDR put us on the rightpath, and we must stay on it. We have tokeep the visibility of running and our U.S.athletes in front of everyone. Mark, I appre-ciate the time that you and American Track& Field have spent with me.
