Along with the late Mike Byrnes in 1990, Spier helped form the National Scholastics Athletics Foundation (NSAF), which owns the New Balance Indoor and Outdoor Nationals, and Great American Cross Country Festival (the latter two events are in North Carolina).  

He has been involved with track and field for about 60 years in a variety of roles, but one of his many contributions was giving high school track the indoor and outdoor nationals, and bringing the outdoor nationals (as well as the Great American Cross Country Festival) to North Carolina. Those two events alone have helped promote both sports in North Carolina immensely, and, because of the location of the events have given countless North Carolina high school athletes and coaches exposure and easy access to national events that otherwise wouldn’t be available to them because of travel burdens. 

One of Spier’s other many contributions to the sport has been helping numerous high school athletes experience elite meets in the U.S. and internationally through the NSAF.
