In order to consolidate my efforts and seize this moment, I am stepping aside as President of TrackTown USA and as Chair of the Oregon21 Local Organizing Committee, with the day-to-day operational structure of TrackTown USA and the delivery of Oregon21 in capable hands, the timing for me to transition my focus to the future of track and field could not be better.

I think this is the start, i don't think everything can happen all at once. I think what we have created is a valuable show, the entertainment has been really good.

Instead of starting in August 2016, it would start in August 2017.

We will have team scores and a national championship during the summer and we are going to really spark up the interest in building up to 2021, if the 2021 world championships are just a big old track meet, then we will have squandered an opportunity.
