USTFCCCA Announces New Track & Field Results Reporting System
USTFCCCA Announces New Track & Field Results Reporting System

October 22, 2009
NEW ORLEANS (October 23, 2009) – The U.S. Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association (USTFCCCA) announces the creation of the Track & Field Results Reporting System (TFRRS). TFRRS will be a centralized results database used by NCAA Divisions I, II, and III coaches and institutions to report meet results during the indoor and outdoor track & field seasons.
TFRRS will be provided at no cost to NCAA coaches and institutions by the USTFCCCA. The technology behind the TFRRS system is powered by DirectAthletics.
The system will be a searchable database that collects and tracks complete results from meets across the country. Both NCAA Division I and NCAA Division II will use TFRRS as their Proof of Performance systems for indoor and outdoor national championships in 2010.
"The committee is very excited about the Track and Field Results Reporting System," said Holly Sheilley, chair of the Division I Men’s and Women’s Track and Field Committee.
"It will provide NCAA Division I track and field with a central performance database for all athletes from all competitions allowing for not only a meaningful measure of athletic achievement, but an integral key to NCAA championship qualifying and future studies of data to improve the sport. The U.S. Track & Field & Cross Country Coaches Association, in collaboration with the NCAA track and field committee, is moving the sport forward by leaps and bounds," said Sheilley.
Beginning November 2, 2009, NCAA coaches will be able to access www.TFRRS.org to set up their team rosters and information. The first results of the 2010 indoor track & field season will be posted after November 27, 2009 – the official start of the indoor track & field season for Division II.
Meet hosts will be responsible for submitting meet results electronically within the time frame specified by their respective NCAA Division.
"The Track and Field Results Reporting System of the USTFCCCA will serve as a valuable time-saving tool for both coaches and administrators in track and field," said Kim Duyst, chair of the Division II Men’s and Women’s Track and Field Committee.
"This new procedure for reporting results will provide a performance list with verifiable results for coaches and meet administrators to review and use for selections to both Invitational and Championship meets. We look forward to launching this new system for the 2010 track and field season," said Duyst.
Further information and technical details regarding the TFRRS system will be forwarded the first week of November to NCAA coaches and institutions.

Robert Weir
Robert Weir
Position:
Assistant Caoch - Men's/Women's Throws
The Stanford throwing corps has achieved unparalleled success under the guidance of Robert Weir. His athletes have achieved remarkable success at the national and international level. Weir enters his fourth season as the Head Men's Track and Field Coach.
Weir is entering his 14th season on the Cardinal staff. His experience as an international competitor and NCAA All-American, coupled with superior technical knowledge, has made him one of the premier coaches in the United States.
With Weir's assistance, the Stanford men and women have produced numerous All-Americans in each of the four throwing events (shot put, discus, hammer, javelin). In 2006, Sarah Hopping finished second at the Pac-10 Championships under Weir's guidance, crushing her own school record by over four feet (219-8). Hopping then finished second at the NCAA West Regional (215-4) to advance to the NCAA Championships for a second-straight year.
During the 2005 season, Weir coached Michael Robertson to the NCAA title in the discus. Robertson not only won the discus but also set the school record in the process with a throw of 202-5 (61.70m). Robertson began his march to the NCAA title with wins at the Pac-10 and NCAA West Regional Championships. Robertson became the first Stanford athlete in 40 years to win the discus at the NCAA Championship. Sarah Hopping set the school record in the hammer (204-2, 62.23m) and helped the Cardinal team to the NCAA West Regional and Pac-10 championships with second and third place finishes, respectively. Hopping also competed at the NCAA Championships in Sacramento.
In 2004, seven-time All-American Jillian Camarena was runner-up in the shot put at the NCAA Outdoor and Indoor Track and Field Championships. Camarena, the 2004 Pac-10 and NCAA West Regional champion in the shot put, placed third at the U.S. Olympic Trials. Camarena set a school record in the shot put with a throw of 59-6 3/4 (18.15m), the second farthest throw in Pac-10 history.
Omer Inan was named an All-American in the men's discus from 2001-03. Under Weir's guidance, Inan broke the then school record in the discus in 2002, and Chad Wassink broke the javelin school record in 2001. Nick Welihozkiy captured the 2003 NCAA West Regional title en route to All-America honors at the NCAA Championships.
In 2001, Maureen Onyeagbako broke the then school record in the hammer and Camarena broke the freshman school record in the shot put. A year later, Jessica Pluth broke the hammer school record which has since been broke multiple times by Sarah Hopping. In 2000, Summer Pierson, a participant at the 2004 U.S. Olympic Trials, gained All-America honors in the discus. In 1999, Allison Beatty broke the javelin school record and later that year gained All-America honors at the NCAA Championships.
In 2000, Weir coached Adam Nelson to a U.S. National Title and Olympic Silver Medal in the shot put. Weir was named the NCAA West Regional Track and Field Coach of the Year in 2001. Additionally, the Men's track and Field team won Pac-10 crowns in 2001 and 2002, the school's first titles since 1927.
From 1995-2000, Weir successfully coached several of the nation's top U.S. collegiate hammer throwers who were attending Stanford. The list included Dave Popejoy, a 1996 United States Olympian and current school record holder (240-10, 73.40m), Justin Strand, a former Stanford football player who later became an All-American hammer thrower (1996, 1997, 1998) and Adam Connolly. In 1998, Adam Connolly finished as an All-American in both the 35-pound weight throw and the hammer.
Weir was named an assistant coach for the United States contingent at the 2005 IAAF World Track & Field Championships in Helsinki, Finland.
Weir was a twelve-time Great Britain national champion in the discus and a member of that country's World Championship Team. He also competed in the 1984, 1996 and 2000 Summer Olympics. At the Sydney Games, Weir was named captain of the Great Britain track and field team.
Weir received his undergraduate degree from Southern Methodist University (SMU) in 1983. While with the Mustangs, he won three NCAA individual titles and set the collegiate record in the hammer throw and a world record in the 35-pound weight throw.
Weir, who also played professional football in Canada, has two children, Robert and Jillian.

Position:
Assistant Caoch - Men's/Women's Throws
The Stanford throwing corps has achieved unparalleled success under the guidance of Robert Weir. His athletes have achieved remarkable success at the national and international level. Weir enters his fourth season as the Head Men's Track and Field Coach.
Weir is entering his 14th season on the Cardinal staff. His experience as an international competitor and NCAA All-American, coupled with superior technical knowledge, has made him one of the premier coaches in the United States.
With Weir's assistance, the Stanford men and women have produced numerous All-Americans in each of the four throwing events (shot put, discus, hammer, javelin). In 2006, Sarah Hopping finished second at the Pac-10 Championships under Weir's guidance, crushing her own school record by over four feet (219-8). Hopping then finished second at the NCAA West Regional (215-4) to advance to the NCAA Championships for a second-straight year.
During the 2005 season, Weir coached Michael Robertson to the NCAA title in the discus. Robertson not only won the discus but also set the school record in the process with a throw of 202-5 (61.70m). Robertson began his march to the NCAA title with wins at the Pac-10 and NCAA West Regional Championships. Robertson became the first Stanford athlete in 40 years to win the discus at the NCAA Championship. Sarah Hopping set the school record in the hammer (204-2, 62.23m) and helped the Cardinal team to the NCAA West Regional and Pac-10 championships with second and third place finishes, respectively. Hopping also competed at the NCAA Championships in Sacramento.
In 2004, seven-time All-American Jillian Camarena was runner-up in the shot put at the NCAA Outdoor and Indoor Track and Field Championships. Camarena, the 2004 Pac-10 and NCAA West Regional champion in the shot put, placed third at the U.S. Olympic Trials. Camarena set a school record in the shot put with a throw of 59-6 3/4 (18.15m), the second farthest throw in Pac-10 history.
Omer Inan was named an All-American in the men's discus from 2001-03. Under Weir's guidance, Inan broke the then school record in the discus in 2002, and Chad Wassink broke the javelin school record in 2001. Nick Welihozkiy captured the 2003 NCAA West Regional title en route to All-America honors at the NCAA Championships.
In 2001, Maureen Onyeagbako broke the then school record in the hammer and Camarena broke the freshman school record in the shot put. A year later, Jessica Pluth broke the hammer school record which has since been broke multiple times by Sarah Hopping. In 2000, Summer Pierson, a participant at the 2004 U.S. Olympic Trials, gained All-America honors in the discus.

NCAA Championships Highlight 2010 Track Schedule
NCAA Championships Highlight 2010 Track Schedule

Release: 10/21/2009
EUGENE, Ore. – The NCAA Track & Field Championships and a match-up against defending men’s and women’s national champion Texas A&M at the Pepsi Team Invitational are but two of the highlights on the 2010 Oregon track and field schedule, as announced Wednesday by Associate Athletic Director Vin Lananna.
The Ducks will also host UCLA in a men’s dual meet for the third straight year and the Eugene Marathon will be held in conjunction with the Oregon Relays, presented by Oregon Community Credit Union, and, for the first time, will finish on the track at Historic Hayward Field.
"Track Town, USA, welcomes the NCAA Championships back to Hayward Field," said Lananna. "This is the most entertaining collegiate track and field schedule that has been brought to Hayward Field in some time and our great fans will get to see our men’s and women’s teams competing against the nation’s best."
The Ducks open the outdoor season with the Oregon Preview on March 20, the first of six home meets in 2010. The other five home meets are the Pepsi Team Invitational on April 10, the Oregon-UCLA dual on April 17, the Oregon Relays, presented by OCCU, on April 30-May 1, the Oregon Twilight on May 8 and the NCAA Championships June 9-12.
After the Preview meet, the teams will spend the next two weekends away from Eugene at the Stanford Invitational and the Texas Relays before returning to Hayward Field to host the Pepsi Team Invitational. It will be a meeting of both the men’s and women’s defending NCAA champions from Texas A&M versus the 2009 national runner-ups from Oregon. Missouri, another Big XII school, will return to the Pepsi meet for the first time since 2005, while the Husky men and women also come back to Hayward Field following a one-year hiatus. Additionally, the men’s meet will feature Illinois from the Big Ten, which will be making its first appearance in Eugene since 1996.
"We know the competition will be good," said Texas A&M head coach Pat Henry, whose Aggies will host Oregon in the Texas A&M Challenge during the indoor season on Feb 12-13. "This kind of competition is good for our sport and it needs to happen more often. It’s important to have good teams competing against each other, scoring the competition and let the fans leave the meet knowing who won. We are an individual sport, but we better be a team sport in today’s athletic environment."
The Texas A&M Challenge will pit two men’s and women’s teams from the Pac-10, Big XII, and SEC conferences against each other in a scoring competition. In addition to Oregon (Pac-10) and Texas A&M (Big XII), the teams are Arkansas (SEC), Baylor (Big XII), Florida (SEC), South Carolina (SEC), Stanford (Pac-10) and Washington State (Pac-10).
Following the Pepsi meet, the men will stay in Eugene to host UCLA in a dual meet for the third consecutive season, while the women head to the Mt. SAC Relays that weekend.
The Ducks’ final regular season competition away from Eugene will be the Penn Relays in Philadelphia, Pa., April 22-24.
The teams host meets the final two weeks of the regular season. The Oregon Relays, presented by OCCU, will once again feature a large contingent of collegiate, high school and post-collegiate competitors. The regular season ends with the traditional Oregon Twilight.
The Pacific-10 Championships will be May 15-16 in Berkeley, Calif.
The reformatted NCAA West Regional will be a three-day affair and will be held May 27-29 in Austin, Texas, with the top 12 finishers in each event advancing to the NCAA Championships.
The season concludes with the NCAA Championships, which return to Historic Hayward Field June 9-12. It will be the Championships’ first appearance in Eugene since 2001, and will be the 10th time overall that Hayward Field has hosted the NCAA meet. Chicago (13) and Eugene will be the only cities to have hosted at least 10 NCAA Track & Field Championships.
Season tickets will become available later this month.

Seaman, Michta win USA 30 km Race Walk titles
Two-time Olympian Tim Seaman and American Junior record holder Maria Michta were the respective men's and women's winners Sunday at the 2009 USA 30 km Race Walk Championships in Hauppauge, N.Y.
Competitors faced each other along with difficult conditions (rain/cold, temp. 43F-7C), and in the end guest competitor and two-time Olympian Luis Fernandez Lopez of Colombia was the men's overall winner in the new course record time of 2 hours 13 seconds.
Seaman, who fought the challenging weather and cramping in his hamstring, won his 41st career national title when he crossed the finish line in 2:38:16. Only National Track & Field Hall of Famers Ron Laird (65) and Henry Laskau (42) own more national race walk titles in U.S. history than Seaman. The next opportunity for Seaman to add to his national championship total will be at the 2010 Millrose Games in New York, where he's slated to compete in the USA One Mile Championship.
Seaman now looks forward to returning to his Chula Vista, Calif., home and his October 31 wedding to Canadian race walk champion Rachel Lavalle, who competed in the 20 km women's race at the 2009 IAAF World Athletics Championships in Berlin, Germany.
Guest Olympian Sandra Zapata of Colombia was the overall women's winner in 2 hours 35 minutes 38 seconds. Maria Michta won the U.S. 30 km title with her overall runner-up finish in 2:49.37, with Susan Randall finishing third in 2:53.16.
