1. The meet management will move from a Hill family endeavor
to an eight person Executive Organizing Committee, a coach's
advisory committee and to the host city's sports commission.
The objective is to have multiple managers of various elements
of the event.
2. I will become an Executive Director of the meet in 2002
and 2003 and a Meet Director will be named in the spring.
I will focus my time on team and coach relationships and turn
administration over to the meet director.
3. The 2002 event will focus on meet management, systems
and processes, while maintaining the pageantry and highest
level of team competition.
4. The Race of Champions in 2002 will be for teams only,
no individuals. Individuals will run in the Seeded Invitational.
5. We will restrict growth in 2002. We will do this by enforcing
early entry deadlines, eliminating late entries and reducing
the number and size of races.
The above steps are being taken in order to provide the
highest level of competition and service for those teams that
want to run against the best.
