Hope this finds you all enjoying your summer and in great health. 

As you know by now, this new format of newsletter is entirely a new concept and, hopefully, it will bring you more versatility with colorful pages, more pictures and articles.  It is still in its infant stage.  E-DTFNL will get better next edition.  Because it is the DWG year, we hope to have E-DTFNL a few more than usual 3 times a year.  We welcome ideas, suggestions and submissions from you all.  Feedback are more than welcome! 

Be sure to check USA Team page, Profile and stories about Trials, Olympic exhibition, and many others.  Know our athletes and coaches through those pages. 

We, USADTF, are still running at full speed. We sent 7 athletes, a coach and an officer to Sacramento, California for the Olympic Trials exhibition mid July.  More on this somewhere else. Next thing will be bringing 5 athletes and 3 adults to Mexico for the Youth PANAMDES in August.   

We are also preparing for the DWG in Roma.  Soon, DWG athletes will receive packets in mail and there will be no turning back!  It will be an exciting year for USADTF and the USA/DWG Team.  

As if the activities mentioned above are not enough, we are currently expanding our programs by adding Masters and Road Race categories. They are under construction right now. We would like to recognize those competing in Masters as part of our family.  Also, we are seeking for candidates to coordinate the Family Track & Field Games.  Anyone interested in assisting with those programs should contact me at TEWithrow@aol.com. 
As always, we ask you to maintain your membership with USADTF and USADSF. Because without your membership, network among track and field community would be lost. Your SUPPORT is important to USADTF, Coaches, Athletes and Friends! 

Enjoy the new E-Deaf Track&Field Newsletter  - E-DTFNL!  Happy reading. 

USADTFly yours, 

Thomas Withrow 
USADTF President
