Association Meet Results

Last weekend was a very busy weekend for the USATF Georgia Association. We presented the Association Open/Masters Track & Field Championships at Emory University on June 1 - June 2, 2013.  On June 1, 2013, we held 3 youth area meets with over 2400 young athletes in Locust Grove, Carrollton and Atlanta.  A very busy weekend indeed!

The Association wishes to thank everyone who made it possible to put on these events - from the officials who were stretched across several venues, to the meet personnel, the clubs that hosted these events and all the parents, coaches and friends of the Association that love the sport and always pitch in to assist.  THANK YOU.

New Coaches Roundtable Announced for June 10, 2013 - 8 p.m.
 USATF GA Coaches Advisory Committee is pleased to present another informative Coaches Roundtable.  We are excited to have Coach Hassan Stamps join us on June 10, 2013.

Coach Stamps cannot be defined as your average Assistant Coach at any level. His recent appointment as The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia's National Teams Coach for the 2012 World Junior Championships in Barcelona, Spain and the 2012 Olympics in London, England, are rewards of over a decade of coaching, mentorship, hard work and a passion for succeeding at the highest level. Not just on the track or in the field but in life. The former Southern Illinois University at Edwardsville jumps and multi-event specialist is entering his 12th season of coaching and has been very blessed to work with 2 NCAA Champions, 14 All-Americans, 25 All- Conference award winners and counting!

Coaches Roundtable - Monday, June 10, 2013 - 8 p.m.

Not content to be the oldest human steeplechaser, Charlie Ross broke his own 2,000-meter record over the weekend, clocking 18:27.44 at the USATF Georgia Association Open and Masters Meet. He lowered his previous age-group WR in the 2K steeple of 18:54.10. (Charles competed at the Southeast Masters T&F Meet in Raleigh on May 18, and set his first WR at the 2K here.) Great job, Mr. Ross!
