We would like to wish you a Happy 4th of July. |
 Fourth of July, is a federal holiday commemorating the adoption of the Declaration of Independence on July 4, 1776, declaring the United States independence from the Kingdom of Great Britain. Independence Day is commonly associated with fireworks, parades, barbecues, street festivals, picnics and of course road races. If you are running a race – good luck. I hope you are able to enjoy the 4th with friends and family. Have a happy and safe 4th of July. |

 Congratulations to all of the Ohio athletes that competed in the USA Track and Field National Championships. The top three (if they have the “A:” standard) earn a spot at the World Championships in Berlin on August 15- 23. Hopefully, my local TV station will not preempt it for a rerun like they did on the final day of the USA Track and Field Nationals Championships. I contacted my local NBC affiliate to voice my displeasure of not being able to watch the competition. I hope you will do the same. |
| Here are the athletes I know that ran at an Ohio high school or university and finished in the top three at the USATF National Championships. Joshua McAdams 1st - 8:29.91 and Daniel Huling 2nd - 8:32.86 in the 3,000 meter steeple chase, David Payne 1st in the 110 meter hurdles -13.12, A.G.
