SUBCOMMITTEE REPORTS
Ultra
With no representative present initially, no report was originally given.
After Hollis Lenderking arrived, he reported that Steve Stowers was on the
2008 USA 100K World Cup team.
Cross Country
Tony Coffey brought up the order of events at PA XC Championship. A
motion was made and unanimously approved to change the event order so that
masters men would run first, women second, if the race director also
approved this change.
Sponsorship/Fundraising
No report
VOLUNTEERS
Board of Athletics positions, women‚s LDR: Chair announced that we
are still 2-3 women‚s LDR positions short on the Board of Athletics, and
called for volunteers.
Sanction Monitor: Katie Wasilenko, women‚s LDR chair and road grand
prix bid coordinator, offered to take this position˜to make sure our grand
prix races are sanctioned.
National Cross Country Council Rep: Sylvester Coons, a member of the
Pacific Striders open men‚s team residing in Nevada, has offered to become
our national cross country council rep. A motion was made and seconded to
forward to Lloyd Stephenson Mr. Coons‚s request and to allow Lloyd to
decide whether to appoint him.
Other current volunteers
It was announced that we could probably use a new cross country chair, as
Cary Craig has been very busy the last year or two. The group was
encouraged to think of likely candidates. In particular, Tony Coffey
offered to poll the Aggies.
LDR BANQUET: Tom O‚Reilly reported that Tamalpa‚s plans are proceeding,
with the focus now on venue.
2008 Road Grand Prix schedule
Mile: We have heard no word since the postponement in late
June/early July. It‚s very unlikely the event will take place this year.
Seagate Elite 5K is open individual only (this was accepted by the
race), double points @ 2650.
2009 Road Grand Prix schedule (Katie Wasilenko chairing; see Appendix A)
1. It was moved and passed unanimously to accept Zippy 5K and Big Sur 5K.
2. It was moved and passed unanimously to accept NorCal 10 miler at
either $3000 (single point) or $4500 (1.5 point), at the race‚s
discretion, with the race to let us know by 12/1.
3. It was moved and passed unanimously (1 abstention) to reject the
Spangler Memorial 8K.
4. It was moved and passed unanimously to accept the Across the Bay 12K,
Marin Memorial Day 10K (long circuit), and Banana Chase 5K with the
following stipulations: Banana Chase submits a bid, for either single
point $3000 or 1.5 point $4500, and each race may back out if the
headphone issue is not resolved to its satisfaction by January 2009.
5. It was moved and passed unanimously to accept the Shriners 8K.
6. It was moved and passed unanimously to accept the Humboldt Half
Marathon if they amend their bid to offer $3000 instead of $2650.
7. It was moved and passed unanimously (1 abstention) to accept the
Clarksburg 30K as a 30K (not as a 20 miler). It was also expressed that
(1) if the race really wanted to offer the 20 miler instead of the 30K, we
could reconsider, and (2) for 2010, if the race wants to offer the 20
miler instead of the 30K, they should just submit a bid for the 20 miler.
8. It was moved and passed unanimously (1 abstention) to accept the
Synaptics (formerly Seagate) 5K as a double point open individual only
race, assuming we receive a bid ($3000).
9. It was moved and passed unanimously to accept the Christmas Relays on
the same terms as in the past (single point money $3000, single point if 1
week after CIM if CIM is on the circuit, double point otherwise) if we
receive a bid.
10. It was moved and passed unanimously to accept CIM for all age groups
if it submits a bid substantially similar to past bids (but with $3000
prize money). If the race wants to bid for just certain age groups, that
will have to come before the committee (or executive committee) again.
Finally, the Fleet Feet Mile expressed that it planned to bid, but without
date or venue, so it is planned to put this before the LDR Executive
Committee.
RULES CHANGES
Motion: The Ultra Subcommittee shall be renamed the MUT
Subcommittee. Passed unanimously.
Grievance: Chair announced that grievance mentioned at the last meeting
has been resolved. Thanks was given to Hollis Lenderking for his great
work on this otherwise thankless task.
Year-end award depth: no word had been heard from the SWEAT team members.
NEW BUSINESS
Rules Changes (new): None
Appeals: It was mentioned that there was an issue with Impala Lisbet
Sunshine at the GGP XC meet last weekend. Any appeal would not be before
the LDR Committee, however, but would be in the hands of the officials.
Other New Business
Hollis Lenderking moved that Steve Stowers be awarded $500 for travel to
the 100K World Cup. Passed unanimously.
Meeting adjourned 11:11 am.
Submitted by Tyler Abbott, acting secretary.
