@DBlais217 It’s only the beginning of a very long season!

But loving the weather this weekend! 🥵

[Track and Field Officials @USA_TFOfficials]

@RefereeMag This happens in track and field with some regularity. Both in the structured venues, as well as the parts that are moved frequently. And the throwing implements. Since most athletes bring their own to competitions.

@DBlais217 @Nike @usatf Thank you for this tweet!
As you’ve noted, there are a lot of stakeholders interested in this outcome. As a part of the NOC, there is a working group on exactly these items!
Another person to reach out to would be your Association chair to add their support!

Track and Field has some unique aspects from being inside an enclosed stadium. Comment your response below. ⬇️

[Referee Magazine @RefereeMag]

Are you ever concerned about your safety while officiating?

[Michael Scott @urimiscott]

Bill was the face of USATF to many masters runners since he was at most of our championships for the past 20 years.

Bill served as president of both @USATFNiagara & USATF Adirondack Associations.

Bill - you will be missed!

Poll: How many officials do you know that have not returned because of the pandemic?

[Track and Field Officials @USA_TFOfficials]

Sherry has always been a shining light in the call room at meets across the world. You would see her routinely at youth, masters, D3, @usatf Nationals and WMA Championships. Our thoughts and prayers go out to her husband Tom and their family. #GoldenSunset 🌅

[Matt Merrill @TandFofficial]

There’s a huge benefit to working with people on average 20+ years older than you. Learning from their experiences officiating and in life for one. But there’s one major draw back too. You never know when that last hug will be given.

RIP Sherry 💔
