LOS ANGELES – In what was billed
as the last race of her professional career, Allyson Felix lost.
But she was beaming again even before she regained her breath.
The race, held Sunday on a 100-meter
track in downtown LA, culminated The
Allyson Felix Race For Change, an event
presented by sportswear company Athleta and aimed at raising awareness for the importance of child care and equity
for women.
Felix, grabbing a microphone moments after finishing second in her final race, referred to Athleta when she said,
“You guys asked me how I wanted to go
out, and I said in my dream world running in the streets of LA with all of my people.”
Spectators cheered as Felix, who was
born and raised in the LA area, continued, “It’s been a joy this entire day just hanging out with everyone.”
But not all joy.
Ashley Henderson said she felt a
tinge of guilt after beating Felix in the
100, which capped the daylong activities that drew a crowd that included Felix’s parents, older brother, husband and daughter. Hundreds of people came
largely to see Felix, the most decorated
American track and field athlete in
Olympic history.
But it was Henderson, a sprinter from
St. Louis, who won the last race in 11.46
seconds. Felix finished in 11.66 and
Chloe Abbott, a sprinter from Michigan,
finished third in 12.34.The heat featured
only those three sprinters on the fivelane street track. “I know this is her event and all about
her and it still is despite who came to the
line first or not,” Henderson said.
Earlier in the day, Felix had helped
her 3-year-old daughter, Camryn, into
the starting blocks for the first time. Later, with Camryn wearing sparkly gold shoes, mother and daughter ran down
the track together. Albeit slowly, and at
one point Allyson Felix grabbing her
daughter’s right hand and guiding her
across the finish line.
No one seemed concerned that Camryn finished last on a day that offered a glimpse into the next phase of Allyson Felix’s life, as other mothers and daughters ran on the same track at
the free public event.
About three weeks ago, Felix ran the
last race of her competitive career –
winning a bronze medal in the mixedgender 4x400-meter relay at the world championships. Now she was running
with a different purpose and focus.
After Camryn crossed the finish line,
Allyson Felix guided her into a VIP tent,
got her water and snacks and plopped
down next to her on a comfy couch.
“Just being a mother has really just
put me down a different path and one I
didn’t expect, I guess,” Felix, 36, later
told USA TODAY Sports. “It’s just being
more thoughtful and definitely shifted
things from always being laser focused
on a specific goal all the time to thinking
about the way I want Cammy to grow up,
and I think that inspires me to do different things and make different choices.” The biggest recent choice: retirement
from track.
“I think it probably hasn’t even hit
yet, what it’s actually going to be,” she
said. “This year has been really emotional, and it’s been hard coming to the realization that it’s time for me to walk
away. But because I have been doing
this for the last 20 years, there is a loss
of this thing that I absolutely love to do
and that I’m so passionate about.
“I’ve talked to other athletes who’ve
gone down that path, and I think it’s just
going to be something I’m going to have
to figure out, even though I have my next
great challenges and I have all the things
lined up, that I’m going to be doing. But I
think it’s more of an emotional thing,
like a loss.”
Might it be time to start raising her
own track star in Camryn? After all,
Kenny Ferguson, Camryn’s father and
Allyson’s husband, is a former sprinter
who won three gold medals at the 2003
Pan American Junior Championships.
“I’m kind of pushing her in different
directions,” Felix said. “Yeah, it maybe
selfishly, but I’ve been to so many track
meets. I would love to see her maybe
play tennis or golf or maybe do something different. But obviously whatever she wants to do, I will be supportive.”
Felix also is thinking of her own future, and it will involve more than parenting. She said a primary focus will be her footwear company, Saysh. She also
noted she recently joined the International Olympic Committee Athletes’ Commission and said, “So I’m excited to
hopefully have some impact there, just
continue to try to do some of that.”
It’s unlikely you’ll see her coaching
anytime soon after years of working
with coach Bobby Kersee.
“I blame Bobby that I’m not the next
Bobby,” Felix said with a smile. “I’m like,
‘The pain that you have inflicted on my
life.’ I think what’s he’s really left me
with, him and Jackie (Joyner Kersee), is
like the role of mentorship, and what
that looks like.
“I don’t have that coaching bug right
now. But I want to help the next generation. I want to share my experience and help them along the way. In that way I do
want to be active.”
She already is giving back by providing child care – which she understood was essential after giving birth to her
daughter in 2018 and eight months later
traveling as she prepared for the Tokyo
Olympics in 2021.
Before the Tokyo Olympics, Felix and
Athleta committed $200,000 to help
fund child care costs for mothers who
are also athletes while they are traveling
to competitions. In June, she provided
free child care to fellow athletes at the
USA Track & Field Outdoor Championship in Eugene, Oregon. “The dream is for that to be the norm
at all events,” she said. “And obviously
that’s going to take a lot of work to get
that in place, but that’s where I want to
see that going, and just finding ways to
be thoughtful and supporting women in
general.”

The NCAA is as cowardly as it is
inept.
Asked Sunday for its reaction to the
near total abortion ban passed this
weekend in Indiana, where the NCAA is
based, spokeswoman Michelle Hosick
said, “We are declining comment.”
That’s right. An organization that last
year had more than 240 women at its
headquarters, comprising more than
half of its staff, is choosing to stay silent
as their rights are ripped away from
them.
An organization whose sole purpose
is to support and facilitate participation
for college athletes, nearly half of whom
are female, is OK with those women being deemed less than full citizens.
An organization that already struggles to do right by women is standing by as their health and well-being are put at
risk.
An organization that is supposed to
support women and help them achieve
success, in college athletics and beyond, is giving its de facto approval as their futures are restricted by extremist
Indiana legislators who see them as
nothing more than incubators.
Spineless as this is, it’s also shortsighted by the NCAA.
As the voters of Kansas reminded
lawmakers who have rushed to strip
women of their rights in the wake of
Roe v. Wade being overturned, the majority of Americans support abortion access. They believe complex medical and personal decisions should be left to a
woman and her doctor.
As right-wing legislators get further
and further out of step with the American public, there will be a price to pay.
“We are concerned that this law will
hinder Lilly’s – and Indiana’s – ability to
attract diverse scientific engineering
and business talent from around the
world,” pharmaceutical company Eli Lilly, one of Indiana’s largest employers, said in a statement after the abortion
ban passed.
It won’t be any different for the
NCAA. Imagine trying to sell a young
woman on working for the NCAA at its
headquarters in Indianapolis. Or a man
with teenage daughters. Or anyone who
believes women, not state legislators,
know what is best for them and their
bodies.
Imagine trying to convince a sponsor
that has publicly stated its support for
abortion rights, or one whose target audience is women, to partner with the NCAA.
That the NCAA should be hostile to
women shouldn’t come as a surprise.
The new chair of its board of governors
is Linda Livingstone, president of Baylor, a conservative Baptist school. The presidents of Georgia, Georgetown and
Minot State University are also on the
board.
Even before the new board members
assumed their duties last week, the
NCAA had made it clear it had lost any
spine it once had.
When Indiana passed legislation in
March 2015 that allowed businesses to
discriminate against gays and lesbians,
the NCAA joined other Indiana business
leaders in condemnation of it. NCAA
President Mark Emmert even suggested
it could affect Indianapolis’ ability to
host lucrative events like the men’s and
women’s basketball tournaments.
When North Carolina passed its socalled “bathroom bill” targeting transgender people, the NCAA responded by saying it would no longer hold championships – including the men’s and women’s basketball tournaments –
there.
But as Texas and other states have
passed laws that are increasingly hostile to women, the NCAA has barely said a peep.
Texas passed a bounty law last year
that effectively curtailed abortion access in that state, yet the state will host both the men’s and women’s Final Fours
next year. And the men’s Final Four
again in 2025.
Mississippi, whose law banning
abortions after 15 weeks led to the overturning of Roe in June, hosted a softball super regional the month before the Supreme Court issued its decision.
Aside from being the right thing to
do, opposing Indiana’s abortion ban
also would have been the easy thing to
do. Lilly, the Indianapolis Chamber of
Commerce and other business leaders
had already issued strong statements
criticizing it. All the NCAA had to do was
join the chorus.
Instead, it is conspicuous by its silence.
In saying nothing about Indiana’s
abortion ban, the NCAA tells everything
about itself. And none of it should make
anyone who works there proud.
NCAA shows it’s spineless with ban silence
