HS-College Achievements: Never once caught by the Campus Police.

Age Started Masters: 50

Track Club: Merrimac Valley Striders

Injuries: Achilles problems.

Reasons Goals: Enjoy the curious stares as you blast by the jogger/walkers on the local track. Sprinting and Masters Track gives me much more motivation to stay in shape. This has helped me in other sports and tasks requiring a lot of physical effort. Also, my high school coach didn't think I was sprinter material and I want to prove him wrong.

Comments: Take the long view. Masters Track is something you can do for decades. If you suffer an injury, give it plenty of time to heal. So what if you miss a season of competition. There are dozens more in the years ahead.
