DURHAM YOUNGSTERS TO ATTEND TRACK MEET AT DUKE
DURHAM, N.C. -- Ninety Durham youths will have an opportunity to
attend the Pan Africa-USA International Track & Field Meet at Duke
Friday and Saturday, Aug. 12 and 13, thanks to Duke President
Nannerl O. Keohane.
The two-day event will be held at Wallace Wade Stadium and will
feature some of the best track and field athletes from the United
States and Africa, including track star Jackie Joyner-Kersee,
decathlete Dan O'Brien and long jumper Michael Powell.
According to Tim Leshan, assistant to the director of Duke's
office of government relations, Keohane will not be able to attend
the events and decided to give her tickets and use of the
president's box at Wallace Wade Stadium to community children.
"She thought it would be nice to give the tickets to children
who may be interested in attending the event but who may not be
able to afford tickets," Leshan said. "Children from the Edgemont
Community, members of the Durham Striders track and field club and
participants in the YMCA's Black Achievers Program have been
invited to the meet. Each child will receive a letter from
President Keohane along with a ticket."
Leshan said the children will attend Friday's opening ceremony
from 5:30 to 9 p.m. and Saturday's events, which begin at 2:30 p.m.
They also will have an opportunity to see the athletes warm up
before the events start, he said.
The Pan Africa-USA International Track & Field Meet is being
organized by LeRoy Walker, president of the U.S. Olympic Committee,
with the help of the Duke athletic department.
Tickets for the meet may be purchased through TicketMaster by
calling (704) 522-6500. Tickets are $28 for a reserved two-day
ticket and $14 for a reserved day ticket. General admission prices
are $16 for two days and $8 for a day.
