Congratulations to Jan Holmquist (Whirlaway), who just bettered the W 80-84 1500 American Record at the USATFNE Outdoor T&F Championship with a 7:22.61. (Pending Ratification). The previous record was 7:39.

As the local Youth track and field season reached its high point at the Region 1 Junior Olympic Championship meet June 25-28, it was fitting that host facility Gordon College was presented with this year's USATF-New England Youth Service Award.

From regularly hosting the USATF-NE Youth Invitational since
2021, adding two developmental meets a season, and then being the site of the New England and Region 1 Junior Olympics in 2025 and 2026, Gordon has been a key partner with the association in recent years, particularly at a time when the use of quality collegiate facilities are needed for growing youth meets.

Accepting the award was Cory Ward, Associate Athletic Director for Operations. Cory is the first person on site on meet days, ensuring the facility and equipment are ready, and the last to leave after lengthy meets which might end in the dark. We thank Gordon College and Cory for their continued support of youth track and field.

Registration for this Saturday's USATF New England Road Mile closes Thursday at Midnight.

The recent Junior Olympic competitions provided us with opportunities to present our annual association service awards in front of individuals who benefit from their work.
At the New England championship meet, the Jerry Cantor Officials award went to the western Mass. duo of Liz Haygood and Tina Crocker. Both have worked in multiple roles at all levels of meets across the region for years, and spent multiple days at this year's New England and Regional Junior Olympic meets. The pair were selected for and worked at the 2026 USA Under 20 Championship in June in Eugene Oregon where the US team for the World U20 was selected. Thanks Liz and Tina!
