Athletes, Coaches, Parents, and Fans,
We are pleased to bring back DyeStatCAL in time for the 2013 outdoor track season!
As you know in June of 2012, ESPN decided to drop its high school website, including DyeStat and DyeStatCAL. In the fall, John Dye announced he was ceasing operations for DyeStat in November. In December, Runnerspace announced the acquisition of the DyeStat name and all of the assets connected with it including the DyeStat and DyeStatCAL domain names, the DyeStat archives, and the DyeStat TFX database.
We are working to bring you full coverage of California high school track and cross country, including results, previews, photos, videos, and stats. But how do we fill the shoes of the iconic Rich Gonzalez who has moved on with his own site? For us the answer is that it's impossible… so we are going to take a different path on running the site. While the old DyeStatCAL relied largely on one or two key individuals, the new DyeStatCAL will be a collaborative effort spread among a larger team of people - and we are certainly looking to add more from throughout the state. The new team as of today is as follows:
Scott Joerger - California Editor
Donal Pearce - Video/Photo coverage lead
John Dixon - TFX Input (Rankings / Results)
Albert Caruana - NorCal Forum Captain
Chad Scott -SoCal Forum Captain
Rob Monroe - TFX Input (Rankings / Results), Watchout XC CA rankings
Mike Newman - TFX Head
Steve Underwood - DyeStat National Editor
Chris Nickinson - Track Talk Forum Head Admin
Ross Krempley - Runnerspace Founder / DyeStat CEO
*More coming soon!
We are excited for the adventure and the coverage the new DyeStatCal will be able to bring you. The new DyeStatCAL.com features the TFX performance ranking system and archives of DyeStat coverage since 1999. The TrackTalk message boards are also back, with similar format and structure old "DyeStatters" know and love.
The site will be a work in progress this season, if you have any comments or things you would like to see on the new DyeStat California, please email
DyeStatCalifornia@gmail.com. See you at the races!
