2007 USATF Club Championship Series to offer $65,000 in prize money
TSP Athletics...I'll keep you posted here about developments as I try to get us recognized...

Clubs wishing to participate in these events must be registered 2007 USATF member clubs. Additionally, each athlete must be a 2007 USATF member and affiliated with their club as part of their USATF membership. Clubs should contact their local USATF Association to confirm their club's and athletes' eligibility. Association contact information is available on the USATF website at http://www.usatf.org/associations/

As USATF expands the Club Championship Series, it will look to grow the events with enhanced promotional opportunities for sponsors and added support for clubs.

I know everyone has to be a USATF member first...so take care of that on your own...then affiliate with TSP Athletics...

More information soon.

Still working on the videos from UCI.

CU = 2007 Ic4A CHAMPS!
Amazing, Cornell has has a Heps champ in the HJ and TJ, and different IC4A champs in the same events. While we cleaned up in the HJ, no 2.17 performances, so we'll have to wait to go to the big show outdoors. We will be represented though in Arkansas in the TJ.
Other then them, see CU jumps in Cali, ready to STING IT!

First Meet Coaching this season...
Eve King, went 5'4" on a 5 step approach...Patty McD and I have already begun the smack talking, as he has made claims that he indeed has a few girls who "have jumped like 5'6"...or something"

SO the gauntlet has been thrown it's going to be NorCal vs. SoCal CUHJ TSP Alumni as coaches squaring off at the California State meet...

BRING IT.
