Dimitry's Full Recap of
the 2005 Double Dec. |
The 2008 USA Open Championships are
tentatively scheduled to be held in Northern California in late
August/early September. Check back here for more
information soon, and meanwhile, use the
forum
to discuss this meet, voice your thoughts and suggestions, and
communicate with fellow athletes and supporters.
Update: I now have
official and unofficial commitments from a few different host
facilities - now I just have to pick the best candidate.
Things I am strongly considering are; cost, proximity to airports,
weather, facility quality (rings, pits, track), timing system,
and the amount of help I am likely to get. Unofficially, a
strong candidate is
Santa Rosa Junior College, as their interest is high and
Ron Whitney, the head coach for the track program, is very
supportive. At the very least, the meet will have FAT, an
all-weather track and runways, and decent hurdles (no wood -
ouch!) The
weather in Santa Rosa, the available dates (August 14-18)
and it's distance from SFO, our main airport, (63 miles) are the
only drawbacks.
