The Women’s Athlete Development Program was founded in 1995 by Lee Ann Meyer of Minnesota. I served as Coordinator from 1996-2002. My dear sweet Linda still chairs the Women’s program today, [email protected]
I helped Brian Jones and Scott Simmons set up the men’s program in 2000. Brian Jones continues as the Men’s ADP contact, [email protected]

I have seen times turned in recently by LRC Racing that meet the standards. Run Guru Elite’s Grant Wintheiser and a couple more of ours with sights set on achieving the marks. This program provides $200 travel stipend, shared room for two nights, ground transportation, meals and waived entry to selected USA National Championship races.
“The goal of the Athlete Development Program (ADP) is to assist in the development of the next generation of GREAT American distance runners. The program provides emerging elite athletes the ability to experience competition at the national level.”
