2 June 2016 Dear Athletes, Coaches and Athlete Representatives, On behalf of USA Track & Field, Chairman of the Board Steve Miller and President Stephanie Hightower, welcome to the 2016 U.S. Olympic Team Trials Track & Field. As you know, the Olympic Trials are the biggest national championship in the world. With nine days of competition, the Trials are eclipsed this year only by the Olympic Games themselves for grandeur and suspense, as some of the world s greatest athletes you! vie for the opportunity to make the Team USA roster that will compete at the Olympic Games in Rio. The Olympic Trials are the domestic highlight of any four-year cycle for athletes, fans, officials, volunteers, and all of USATF. It also brings to fruition years of planning and collaboration. Please join us in thanking our partners from TrackTown USA, the University of Oregon, the City of Eugene, the State of Oregon and the Oregon Track Club for all they do to make track & field great in Eugene and throughout the state. Of course, without our corporate sponsors and our partners at the U.S. Olympic Committee, none of USATF s athlete-support programs and talent development pipelines would exist: sport science programs, the USATF Championship Series, prize money, coaching stipends and health insurance. Together with your personal sponsors and supporters, we all work to help athletes get to the doorstep of an Olympic berth, where your athletic performance will determine who takes the next step on the Olympic Road to Rio. May your performance at these Olympic Trials reflect all your preparation and hard work. USATF wishes all of you the best of luck. Warm regards, Max Siegel CEO 2

BE AWARE - Testing may take place at any time or after any round- preliminary, qualifying, or final. USADA typically selects place finishers and random athletes. Athletes have 60 minutes from the time they are notified of being selected for testing to arrive at the Doping Control Station and will be accompanied by a chaperone during that time. BE CLEAN - Checking to see if the medication you take is allowed could be the difference between passing your test and serving a doping ban. A search on USADA s easy-to-use Drug Reference Online ( or a quick call to USADA s Drug Reference Line ( ) and following-up with any necessary forms is all it takes to pass with flying colors. BE INFORMED - Watching the USADA s short testing video will familiarize you with the drug testing process ( When making travel arrangements please allow enough time for drug testing at the end of your event. This will include providing a sample and processing paperwork. The adjudication of anti-doping rule violations or refusals to test will be carried out by USADA.
