TheFinalSprint.com is set to release a new series of podcasts called TFS ElectionCast 2008: Interviews With The USATF Presidential Candidates. This series will introduce you to the candidates for president of the governing body of track & field in the United States: USA Track & Field (USATF). These podcasts will be published one per day on consecutive days this week (Tuesday - Thursday) and will feature our interviews with the three candidates, who are Bob Bowman, Dee Jensen and Stephanie Hightower.

We will ask all three candidates a series of questions, the intent of which is to allow USATF members and the running/track & field community at large to become better acquainted with the candidates and to help you make an informed decision as you prepare to vote for the next president. With the USOC’s demands for a restructuring of the USATF’s leadership and the decline in popularity of our sport in recent years, we are perhaps at the most critical juncture in the history of USA Track & Field. All three candidates will be asked the same questions and the interviews will be 100% non-partisan. This is all in keeping with our goal of making TheFinalSprint.com the premier destination for track & field, marathon, and road running enthusiasts.
