These two have been members of Usatf for many many years. It would be great to see USATF support athletes on all levels.

raise my USATF dues if necessary but please find the finances to send these two deserving athletes to represent all of US maters track and field by competing on the most significant stage in the world this summer...it is in keeping with the spirit of our great sport, don't you agree?

As a former 2x Indoor National Champion, I am ashamed that any athlete chosen by the USATF to participate in one of their meets must pay his or her own way. Where does a bulk of the money come from if not from adults who continue to run for many years? I ran against Anselm in the late 70's and early '80's, over 35 years of continued dedication is inspiring. Reach deep USATF and do the right thing.

USATF, it's your responsibility to help our athletes. You certainly enjoy the bragging rights or medal counts when our USA athletes win..

USATF has 5 categories of coaches for membership, 4 categories of officials and if you're an athlete, you can check either athlete or disabled athlete. If you are an athlete and are chosen to represent the USA, then your expenses should be covered just like "open" athletes.

They should be treated like the other Team USA athletes and have their travel expenses and room and board paid for by USATF.

Send them, fully funded, to the World Championships. It's a sin that USATF has dropped the ball in funding them. They represent the sport without any sponsorship or minimal money. Certainly, USATF can afford to fund their trip and expenses as they represent the USA.

This is a no-brainer. USATF should do the right thing by paying travel costs for Renee and Anselm.
