Reading between the lines, it sounds like some people at USATF are pushing for an "internal" candidate.--
Hightower said she would not place her name in the running, but added, "I never say never anymore."
"Can I be drafted? I don't know," said the Columbus, Ohio-based administrator and former world class hurdler.
NO TIMETABLE
Miller gave no timetable for a hire.
"This is going to be a marathon not a sprint," he said.
USATF athletes advisory committee chair Jon Drummond said hiring someone who knows the sport is crucial.
"We have tried the outside-of-the sport way," said the former sprinter who now helps coach American record holder Tyson Gay.
"One of the greatest problems we have had over the last couple of years (is that) we haven't gotten the support that we need to really help our athletes who are right on the breakthrough," he said.
Without an experienced leader, "we have wasted the next two years," said John Chaplin, chairman of the powerful men's track and field committee.
"The development plan (for the 2012 London Olympics) is behind schedule, not ahead," said the long-time coach and official. "We need to have somebody who can hit the ground running."
