LETTER TO NYRR
We, the long time members of the New
York Road Runners Club, find the current rule of excluding team members from the team
championship to be counter productive. The goal, it appears, was to
discourage "ringers" from suddenly appearing for one race and
disappearing as quickly. But for every one so-called
"ringer" that you eliminate, you are punishing and disillusioning tens
or hundreds long term club members. One of the reasons
people run the team championship is to run for their team. To
disqualify them simply because they have not run another NYRRC race seems to us
to be a bit arrogant. The last time we checked NYRRC is
not the only running organization in the world, country, state or
even in the city. Some runners find running race after race in Central
Park somewhat boring. So, we urge the NYRRC to consider other
documented races for the team championship qualification or simple use
the existing USATF rules that apply to all athletes concerning team membership.
And all local runners who meet the team criteria should be
reinstated. Reprinted from nyrrc-democracy-now open
letter.
Warren Street Social
& Athletic Club fully supports the removal of this absurd rule which is
counter productive and not in the spirit of our sport. We have been and still remain
eager to compete against all comers. The true champions are those who have the
heart to toe the line against the best, not just the best who fit a certain
mold.
