Headline News

AYALEW TAYE - ATHLETE OF MONTH FOR NOVEMBER
December 19

With his win in the USATF New England cross country championship, Ayalew Taye is the USATF-NE Athlete of the Month for November 2006.

The 19 year old Cushing Academy (Ashburnham MA) student, best known for his track prowess in the mile, moved up in distance and became the youngest New England champion in at least 3 decades as a strong kick carried him from third place in the final 400 meters to the win over a more experienced field.

Competition will again be teams and inviduals men and women separate in 39 $ under, 40-49, 50-59. 60-69, 70 and over. There will also be age graded awards and an overall club award.
 
A participant must be a Maine resident and a USATF member by the New England mile ( after that only the races where the participant is a member will count)
Requirements of the race director are as follows
 Get the race scantioned See forms attached Val can answer questions Cost is $65 for sanction and $50 for             insurance waiver
 Provide on the entry form and other publicity that the race is part of the MeUSATF Grand Prix. Also, have a line to include the USATF # if possible on the entry form
 Send me the results in electronic format
 
In 2006 there were 30 plus particicipants in the Grand Prix and 2 clubs. Since this was the 1st year, we hope to double the participation in 2007. Gift certificates of $100 for teams and $75 for individuals were given out provided by Maine Running Company and MeUSATF. Other associations run successful programs with races bidding to be part of the GP because of the additional runners it brings to a race. With your help and participation all will benefit and the program will grow. Get the word to other clubs and runners.Getting info to Newspapers or get me a contact would be a great help.
May I mention again to send results to USATF and RunningUSA so our Maine runners can be Nationally ranked.
If you have any questions please contact me. Also, pass this on to anyone missing in the list.
Thanks to those that made the 1st year a great start.
I will send out a notice that can be posted as well as the rules Sunday.
