► YOUTH Updated Youth Travel Grant News Release
Big News for Our Youth Athletes!
The Pacific Association is thrilled to announce a donation to the USATF Pacific Foundation to create a permanent endowment for Junior Olympic travel grants. ✈️
This builds off a successful 2025 launch where donations helped our JO athletes compete at the National Track & Field Championships in Georgia, with nearly all of them reaching the podium! 🥇
This new endowment will help our top youth athletes reach the National stage and stay on the path to the Olympic Games. 🌟 It joins our existing programs, including the George Kleeman donation, which launched the Foundation and provides training grants for our top Open Track & Field and Marathon athletes. 🏆
All of these programs will need your generous support of the Foundation to succeed.

► PA Longtime coach-innovator Bob Rush passes
Bob Rush passed away in his sleep Saturday at the age of 90.
Bob will be remembered for his passion for coaching and innovation. Highlights included:
– Successful coach at the College of San Mateo from 1969-1995, one of his most famous athletes being comedian Dana Carvey, and after retirement continued as a prolific meet organizer and announcer.
– Inventor of the Chronomix timing system in 1978, which revolutionized road racing and cross-country timing.
– Developer and guardian of the Crystal Springs Cross Country Course in Belmont. Since its development in 1969, the course has hosted numerous international, national, state, and sectional championships with three generations of runners testing themselves on hills aptly named cardiac and heartbreak. Bob ran across the course finish line on his 90th birthday last June, cheered on by family and friends.
Celebration of Life details are pending.

► RR PA’s Jacob Nur voted USATF Masters LDR Athlete of the Year 2025
Above, Jacob Nur at the 2022 Club XC Championships, December 10, 2022, Golden Gate Park, on his way to winning the M65-69 age division and leading his SRA Elite M60-69 Team to 2nd place. He finished 29:51 for 8km, third overall among all masters men. photo credit: USATF
Jacob Nur (SRA Elite) had a pretty good run in the Men’s 65-69 age group with 4 road ARs
– 17:00 5km, age grade 99.40%
– 35:42 10km, age grade 96.21%
– 58:34 10 Mile, age grade 95.76%
– 1:18:00 H Mar, age grade 96.24% (all based on 2025 standards).
His 5km AR was the 3rd best age-graded road performance ever recorded by an American male! He was also voted Road Runner of the Year 3 times in the M65-69 age group, 2022, 2023, and 2024.
After turning 70 in Aug 2025, Jacob decided it was it was time to “rinse and repeat”. In September, at the Urban Cow H Mar, he set two ARs – 1:20:57 H Mar, age grade 97.28% and a 1:01:35 10 Mile (split), age grade 96.35%.
Then in November, at the Clarksburg Country Run, he set another M70-74 AR by running the 10km race in 36:57, age grade 96.73%. These performances along with a 1:02:02 at the Buffalo Stampede,
age grade 95.06 (this would be the M70-74 AR if he hadn’t run faster 2 weeks later at Urban Cow)
made him the top vote getter for both the USATF Masters Male Runner of the Year and the USATF Masters LDR Athlete of the Year Awards for 2025.
BTW, Jacob has two pending M70-74 ARs already in 2026! He ran a 2:08:50 30k at the Jed Smith Ultra Classic, age grade 88.09% and a 30:02 8km at the very hilly Brea Classic, age grade 94.43%.
