MASTERS TRACK & FIELD MEDIA COVERAGE
 
December 23, 2019

Statement by Bob Weiner on Passing of USATF Masters Track & Field Chair Rex Harvey:

Rex Harvey's death is sad, sudden, surprising, and shocking to all of us -- he'd seemed doing so well recently including in Reno at this month's USATF Annual meeting and masters meetings. He was a giant and great leader in our field who had a profound understanding of the mission and people of masters track & field in America and the world. He did all he could to better the sport.

I had visited him at his home town of Prescott where he died, and the natural mountain beauty of the region was overwhelming. Rex passed in peace.

In sadness,

Bob


Bob, I couldn't be prouder about your broadcast work for Landover, and you have got to be proud of it too. It's better coverage than Indy gets. And positive, too, not negative. Thanks so much from everyone in the sport.
Rex Harvey, Chair, USATF Masters Track & Field, Tuesday, March 20, 2018, following USATF National Masters Indoor Championships 2018
