The NSAF - National Scholastic Athletics Foundation - will induct 30 members into its inaugural class of their National High School Track and Field Hall of Fame tonight at the New York Athletic Club in New York City.
NSAF is a non-profit foundation known for sponsoring the national indoor and outdoor high school championships; the indoor championships get underway tomorrow at The Armory in New York City.
Tonight's event begins at 6:00 and will be live-streamed on USATF.TV starting at at 7:40 Eastern: https://tinyurl.com/yc8tr272
The inaugural class of 30 includes Jesse Owens, Jim Ryun, Willye White, Steve Prefontaine, Kim Gallagher, Milt Campbell, Lynn Bjorklund, Bob Matthias, Kathy McMillan, and Allyson Felix. Here's a link to the complete list: https://tinyurl.com/ybmp9zcm
Many of the inductees are expected to be in attendance, as well as family members of inductees who are no longer with us.
Trackerati is in attendance and a full report will be posted here this weekend. One of the more unexpected phone calls of my life came when Linda Prefontaine, Steve's sister - and about whom I had written an article last summer - invited me to be her guest tonight.
