Jeff Seidel who has been the main reporter for track and field in the Baltimore Sun, passed away yesterday from complications with cancer.
While not a runner himself, Jeff constantly fought with the Sun's editors about getting more coverage for anything track related. He would spend hours after hours sitting in the press box at the PG center watching and reporting on countless indoor track meets. He would be at Bull Run at Hereford before any runners were there getting a feel for the site and talking to athletes and coaches as they got off the bus.
He had a great family and was so proud of his son who became the SID at UMBC. He will be greatly missed.
