9 Drake Stadium & The Greater Des Moines Convention and Visitors Bureau Greater Des Moines has a long and storied legacy as a track and field destination. That legacy was honored and solidified for generations to come with the unveiling of Track Central USA in With the $15 million renovation of Drake Stadium in 2006, Drake University and Greater Des Moines have become a Mecca in hosting high-caliber track and field events in the United States. The Greater Des Moines and Convention and Visitors Bureau and Drake University have a strong partnership that has proven successful in hosting championship track and field events, Drake Relays Director Brian Brown said. Since the 2005 renovation of Drake Stadium, together, we ve hosted 11 major track and field events including the annual Drake Relays, the 2008, 2011 and 2012 NCAA Division I Outdoor Track and Field Championships, the 2010 USA Outdoor Track & Field Championships (USATF) and this year s USA Championships. Hosting these successful events is evidence of a very strong and committed local organizing committee for the sport of track and field. Track Central USA is a comprehensive branding strategy that has forever changed the fan experience at track and field events in Greater Des Moines. The Greater Des Moines Convention and Visitors Bureau and the Des Moines Area Sports Commission are proud to collaborate with Drake University to continue to celebrate the sport of track and field with Track Central USA. We are proud to be Track Central USA, said Greg Edwards, President and CEO of the Greater Des Moines Convention and Visitors Bureau and the Des Moines Area Sports Commission. We are thankful to have strong partnerships with Drake University and the various track and field governing bodies. It is their dedication that helps ensure the athletes, coaches and fans have the experience of a lifetime at the great Drake Stadium. The community support for track and field in our city is phenomenal, said Edwards. We couldn t host events like this without city support, local fan involvement and corporate backing. Certainly the warmth of the community, the knowledgeable fans we ve had over the years have brought together a lot of this excitement, but without the true partnership we have with the Greater Des Moines Convention and Visitors Bureau and the Sports Commission, none of this would have come to fruition, said Hatfield Clubb In addition to the Drake Relays, Drake hosted highly successful events in the 2009 AAU National Junior Olympics, 2007 and 2010 USA Outdoor Track and Field Championships. After hosting a highly successful 2007 and 2010 championship, Drake University was an obvious choice for NCAA. The 2011 and 2012 NCAA Outdoor Track and Field Championships were named the Best Collegiate Multi-Sport or Multi-Discipline Event in the country by SportsTravel Magazine two years in a row. With years of track and field success, Greater Des Moines will run the 2013 USA Championships with the same tried-and-true approach. We are very grateful USA Track and Field has recognized, yet another time, what we bring to these events: a superb facility, highly experienced and dedicated staff, a knowledgeable and enthusiastic fan base and total community engagement. 9

Phone is: Drug Testing Athletes who participate in the competition are subject to drug testing performed by the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency (USADA) in accordance with the USADA Protocol for Olympic Movement Testing. BE ALERT - Knowing your rights and responsibilities may save you from making a mistake that could jeopardize your athletic career. The use of ALL dietary supplements is at the athlete s own risk of committing a doping violation. Please see page 50 of the Guide to Prohibited Substance and Prohibited Methods of Doping (PDF) ( for additional information on dietary supplements. Check out the Test Alert Card (PDF) ( for key details every athlete should know prior to competing. 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. Athletes found to have committed a doping violation will be disciplined according to penalties specified by the World Anti-Doping Code and, if appropriate, applicable IAAF rules. Such penalties may result in a period of ineligibility as well as disqualification from an event. BE AWARE. BE INFORMED. BE ALERT. BE CLEAN. USADA is here to help you PASS WITH FLYING COLORS. 32
