I got this from the Track and Field News message board
I am the Track & Field Chair for the 2005 Maccabee Games which, among other things, entails assembling a team of Jewish-American track and field athletes to compete in Israel. The 2005 team will be assembled based primarily on performances from this season.
If you know of any potential or interested candidates, it would be greatly appreciated if you could either forward me their name and contact information or provide them with my contact info. Information is also available at
www.maccabiusa.com. Anyone interested should inquire, performances in past games have ranged from competitive high school type marks to world class.
Also, if anyone out there has contact info for some of the more recognizable athletes out there (Drossin-Kantor, Schwartz, Mendel, etc.) I would appreciate it if you could pass it on.
Thanks for your help.

sounds like a great experience but i dont really meet the criteria. My parents left my faith up to me, and i just haven't found anything yet. So for now i spend sunday mornings watching vault video and praying to bubka
