Time to place more emphasis on ALL-American Track and Field Athletes. Can't do anything about the coaches recruitng over-seas to obtain elite runners and throwers in order to win championships. But we can start placing more empasis on All-American Championship Status!
Most of us totally admire the foreign runners and throwers that appear to be at a level above the elite american athletes but to help our sport grow at home, we need to encourage more publicity for ALL AMERICAN STAUS.
We all can appreciate the foreign athletes wanting to attend school and compete in U.S. and all the best wishes to them. But to the coaches who automatically look abroad to find their winning line-up of runners and throwers just for your own self gratitude.-Shame.
