College football fans listen for Brent Musberger, Chicago Cub fans loved Harry Caray, and Al Michaels is synonymous with making the Super Bowl really super. In the sports world, the fans often look for the “Voice” that will bring their event to life…..providing the commentary, knowledge, and passion that the athletes, coaches, and spectators know makes that game, match or race so much more than ordinary.
In Arizona, we too have the “Voice”. You know when you approach the stadium and can hear Ron Smith (pictured above at Regionals) on the microphone calling the race, you are in for another insightful and energetic evening of Arizona Track and Field. The track athletes and fans know that with Ron announcing the meet, the event will now include the season’s latest marks on the competitors, stats and stories from great races of the past, and an enthusiasm that encourages the crowd to stand up and get involved when they are about to witness something special. He’s never afraid to ad lib or add a little extra. The “Voice” doesn’t just announce the meet, he makes the meet better.
