Ray,
We met one year at the convention. You told me that I was wrong to not blindly follow Carol McClatchie involving a US championship bid.
On a complete different issue. The trials will end up where the powerful folks want it. Probably NY because of the money that they are willing to spend on bringing all of the USATF "volunteers" into the city for a vacation. It may be the 3 city system if the USATF doesn't have enough balls to stand up to the USOC. I guarantee that it won't be in a small city (and it has nothing to do with exposure) because they are not willing to bring in 200 USATF VIP's. Just wait and see, the athletes will be told how great it will be only to find out later that they had been lied to. Then USATF will blame everything that goes wrong on the host city or the USOC. Believe me it doesn't take Carnac to predict this one.
