I hate this so much. Zika and Pete (and Andy) have believed in DEVELOPMENT from the beginning. It was never about signing the top athlete out of College. It was about turning hard working, blue collar athletes into top athletes. We need more Zap Fitness programs not less.

Interestingly Bernard Lagat finishing 2nd in a Kenyan kit was a US citizen at the time of this race. He became a US citizen on May 7, 2004.

This is my point exactly.

I volunteer for the job (that does not exist).
I do not want to be paid and will pay for all of my own travel so that there would be greater $$ for the athletes.

The current system is set up where the highest paid people are those in charge. The athletes are the show and should be paid accordingly

I sure am. See you there.

Great analogy. Removing Storm Thurmond’s name from any record is a positive.
