This morning, Laura Marty and I took advantage of a USATF bylaw that allows any USATF member to address the Board of Directors briefly at the start of the meeting.
We let them know that there are lots of women who want to compete in a Decathlon championship!
I am hoping to get the National Office to put out an RFP for someone to host a National Championship in the Women’s Decathlon in 2018, to be held sometime after USAs.
Everyone has been super positive and supportive, but turning a good idea into reality is not always easy, especially when there it’s not black and white how to get from point A to point B.
One of the best things to come out of this weekend is there are now several LOCs that are interested in possibly bidding to host the meet!
Thank you everyone who took the time to listen to us.
I’m really hoping that USATF will take advantage of this opportunity to be a leader in proving opportunities to women in our sport!
