USATF Foundation

Track and field is a sport built on dedication, grit, and the pursuit of excellence—but unlike many professional sports, financial support for athletes is extremely limited. Many elite runners have to balance full-time training with part-time jobs, all while covering expenses for travel, coaching, physical therapy, and gear. That’s where organizations like the USATF Foundation make a huge impact.

The USATF Foundation grants provide critical funding to athletes who are striving to compete at the highest level. Their support helps cover essential costs, allowing runners like me to focus on training, recovery, and performing at our best on the national and global stage. Without organizations like the USATF Foundation, many athletes wouldn’t have the resources needed to truly chase their potential.

I’m incredibly grateful for their support—it’s an investment not just in me but in the future of American distance running.
