Seattle Drops Track Bid

Fri., May 5, 1995

Compiled From Wire Services

The Seattle Sports and Events Council has decided not to bid for the 1997 World Track and Field Championships.

The non-profit group decided earlier this week it would not bid because there wasn’t enough time to meet the deadline and Seattle lacks a facility that meets criteria set by the International Amateur Athletic Federation.
