Bill Roe, Past USATF President

For close to 30 years, Bill Roe has kept the voice of distance running heard in the AAU, TAC and USA Track & Field. After serving the governing body in almost every capacity, he overcame the stiffest of competition and was elected President in 2000 – a position he easily retained after the 2004 Olympics. Although he travels continuously, he still coaches his club and often leaves far flung destinations at absurd hours so as not to miss his team’s next race. Combining leadership, diplomacy and hard work Bill Roe is probably the best USATF president of all.
