Track & Field and Cross-Country Bulletin for Mar 22, 2013
On March 12th we lost a great personal friend and a friend to the sport. Board member, father, husband, son, brother, friend Cedric Walker left this world the day after returning home to Rochester from the New Balance Nationals Indoors.. He will be sorely missed. Noone was more active nor gave so much to the sport and to the people fortunate enough to be associated with him. Read more...
NBN Indoor Wrap-up
To all of the athletes, coaches, parents, fans and sponsors who ran, jumped, threw, and cheered at the New Balance Nationals Indoors- a big thank you from all of us at the NSAF. What an awesome event! Three National Records, 4 class records, 40 National leaders and 31 meet records! When the nation's best high school athletes gather together in one place, great things happen. As we say each year, the next version, scheduled for Friday, Saturday and Sunday, March 14-16, 2014 may be the best yet!.
