MacArthur Defends AAU Open Meets Sanctioning Power
In New York, General Douglas MacArthur reiterated that open track meets fall under the sole sanctioning power of the AAU, insisting no NCAA or USATF approval is needed. USTFF President William Russell called the stance nothing new and urged AAU to formally request USTFF athlete participation in St. Louis June 21-22. Russell said the dispute centers on the AAU’s refusal to seek approval, while MacArthur seeks to prevent NCAA actions from hindering free athlete participation in AAU events for a stronger U S team for Moscow.
