I voted for DQ. According to the press release, the goal is to attract youth, so let's grab them with a name associated with something most kids love (ice cream) as well as significance to TF. Second choice is B Sample. ...wild and zany on and off the track... Sounds more like the old, fun

The mascot is the exclusive property of USATF and will be a part of efforts to brand USATF and the sport of track field. Maybe USATF figures no one watched the US basketball team's dismal performance at the World Basketball Championships and purchased the exclusive rights on the cheap. Very
