2022 George Kleeman Training grant
Purpose
The USATF Pacific Foundation provides grants for help with training and competition to United States Olympic hopefuls competing in track & field and race walking. The grant is named in memory of a founder and former president of the Foundation, George Kleeman. George dedicated much of his time and financial assets in the creation of a grant program to benefit athletes and coaches in the Pacific Association. George passed away in 2018 but his legacy lives on in all parts of USA Track and Field.
