De Vos modernised the athletics body, cutting jobs and aiming to move sponsorship money away from headquarters costs and towards training centres athletics club. De Vos also cut down the number of athletes going to the 2008 Beijing Olympics, minimising the number to those who would still be young enough to perform at the 2012 London Olympics.

Michael Norman (sprinter) Michael Norman, Jr. (born December 3, 1997) is an American track and field athlete who competes in the 100 meters, 200 meters, and 400 meters. He graduated from Vista Murrieta High School in Murrieta, California in 2016. He currently attends University of Southern California. He broke the NFHS record in the 400 meters with a time of 45.19 seconds at the 2015 CIF California State Meet held at Buchanan High School in Clovis, California on June 6, 2015. His time is the fastest 400 meters run by a U.S. high school athlete against other high school-aged athletes, along with Aldrich Bailey who also ran 45.19 seconds in Lubbock, Texas on April 28, 2012. The time, however, is not the fastest 400 meters ever run by a U.S. high school-aged athlete according to the List of United States High School National Records in Track and Field. The time of 44.69 seconds set by Darrell Robinson is the fastest. However, it was set at a non-NFHS sanctioned meet, therefore only being acknowledged as a National Record by Track & Field News. Norman's NFHS record is currently awaiting NFHS ratification. On June 30, 2015, Norman was named the Gatorade Player of the Year for his achievements in Track and Field. He is only the 2nd non-senior to win the Gatorade Player of the Year award in the 30-year history of the program and the first male sprinter to win the honors as a non-senior.
