         <description><![CDATA[Bill Roe is the only person to be elected to 20 years as an officer with USA Track and Field, the national governing body for the sport. He's been on the group's board since 1986 and won his second term as president in 2004. Mr. Roe was named its acting chief executive when Craig Masback said in January he would leave for Nike. Track, like many Olympic sports, makes its return to the American consciousness with next month's Beijing Olympics. The sport has been in the news over the last few years with fallout over the use of performance-enhancing drugs and other crimes. Although he predicts Americans will win 22 track and field medals in Beijing, Mr. Roe, 57, says he's more interested in the grass roots of track. He's run a series of meets open to all runners around Seattle every summer since 1969 and has coached cross-country and distance teams at Western Washington University for 20 years.]]></description>
