Thought the class may be interested to see Richard and I are still going strong after all these years. It seems like only yesterday that I was throwing the shot put and he was doing the pole vault.....actually, it was only yesterday!! We competed in the Southeastern Master Track and Field Championships held at Duke University this past week-end.
The Masters is open to people ages 19 - 100, and yes people in their 90's still compete. It's broken down into 5yr age groups, so Richard and I competed in the 60-64 age group. He entered and placed in 5 events, including 1st place in the high jump, 2nd in the javelin and pole vault and 3rd in the shot put and discus. I took 2nd in the shot put (I need more practice).
We're competing again at the Master's Open in Charlotte, NC 6/4/05.
Thanks for passing this along to the rest of the class-- and coach Brodsky. Hope you enjoy the pictures. To view the pictures at full size visit the Photo Gallery .
