The USATF Nebraska Association will host an Officials Training Clinic on Wednesday, March 28 from 6:00 – 9:00 pm at the South Cafeteria at Burke Stadium. This is part of our efforts with the USA Club Track & Field National Championships that Team Nebraska is bringing to Burke this July 6 & 7. This is a great way to support Team Nebraska, the Club National Championships, and USATF Nebraska.
All disciplines of a standard track & field meet will be covered and upon completion individuals will be qualified to work any event area they are interested in. We’ve already had an outstanding response from our Omaha Endurance Group and are looking to get as many people as possible qualified. The more local officials we have the less we will have to spend to bring them in from out of state. We hope you will consider helping us out and getting more familiar with our sport, and there is no better way to see the meet than down on the infield!
Speaking of our Omaha Endurance Group, we are having our first Spring Track Workout tonight at Millard West beginning at 6:00 pm. This kicks off our 5th year of coaching runners/walkers of all abilities. What started out as Linda & I offering our expertise to a small group in 2007 has blossomed into the Omaha Endurance Group, with more members attending every year.
Team Nebraska’s OEG community outreach effort has touched a lot of people in many positive ways. None more rewarding than the friendships, camaraderie and mutual support as all work toward their goals and potential. The next 30 weeks are without a doubt my favorite Wednesdays of the year. The post workout social time at the Upstream Brewery Legacy location are just so much icing on the cake, or foam on the beer if you will.
I feel truly privileged to work with this group and look forward to making this the best year ever. To renewing old friendships and making new ones as we pursue fitness and fun. I know Coach Linda feels the same way.
Can I get a Giddyup!?
