The First 10 Years
DyeStat was founded by John Dye in 1995 and was aimed at high school coaches in western Maryland and served to compile results and rankings. Initially run as an amateur site, the expenses became too high. Sponsors such as Rivals and then Nike provided funds to maintain the sites activities, along with the National Scholastic Sports Foundation (NSSF).
An integral part of the site was the different forums for each state. DyeStat was recommended by both the NSSF and USATF. As of 30 July 2007, the forums had approximately 16,500 members, ranging from high school to international level athletes.
DyeStat also hosted videos and photos from some of the major high school cross country and track & field meets around the country.

Famous quotes containing the word years:
“A few years ago, the liberal churches complained that the Calvinistic church denied to them the name of Christian. I think the complaint was confession; a religious church would not complain.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
