Congratulations to longtime Bay State Games Track & Field official Justin Kuo for his recent induction in the USA Track & Field National Officials Hall of Fame. The 2026 Induction Ceremony will take place on Friday evening, December 4, 2026, at the USATF Annual Meeting in Portland, Oregon. Justin becomes only the second official from Massachusetts to ever receive this award.



Justin has served several high-level positions at prestigious events including the Boston Marathon and the USA Track & Field National Championships. He also serves on the Board of Governors of USA Track & Field New England. He has volunteered his time to officiate at the Bay State Games Track & Field competition for decades.

Bob Gidari (Goffstown NH) and Justin Kuo (Brookline MA) were named as two of only five 2026 inductees to the USATF National Officials Hall of Fame. Both are also current members of the USATF New England Board of Governors.

While most Halls of Fame require being retired from an area of involvement, officials are recognized for career long achievements (and may still be officiating for many more years). Criteria for nomination include, among other activities,
- serving as a competition official for a minimum of 20 years and working at multiple levels of competition from youth through international
- exhibiting leadership and acting as a mentor to younger officials. and
- having been selected as a head official, coordinator, or administrator at national or international events
You'll see them year around at track & field, road, and cross country events at all levels throughout the year in the association.

They join New England association officials Ken Caouette, Laurie Boemker, and Pat Lavelle in the USATF Officials Hall of Fame.
Formal induction will be held at the USATF Annual Meeting in December.
