Small-ish update - excited to move from long-term freelance to a full-time staff writer for @SBJ. Not much changes coverage-wise, with LOTS of Paris stories coming. But a big deal for me personally, and it gives me a chance to branch to other sports later. So very happy today.

What we heard from on stage at IAF: there's still a lot of work to do when it comes to Olympic sports programs and Title IX obligations. @jessmendoza pointed out that Title IX non-compliance is a major issue making it difficult to move forward.
