TrackTown USA president Vin Lananna was elected president of USA Track & Field on Thursday in Orlando, Florida.
Lananna won the election by acclamation at the USATF's annual meting after Olympic gold-medalist Jackie Joyner-Kersee, the only other announced candidate, withdrew.
He succeeds Stephanie Hightower as president. Hightower served two four-year terms and was not eligible to run again.
Lananna came to Eugene in 2005 to become the University of Oregon's head track coach and an associate athletic director.
He also took leadership roles in the staging of the 2008, 2012 and 2016 U.S. Olympic Track & Field Trials at Hayward Field in Eugene.
