German masters sprinter seeks indoor meet in South

Reinhard Michelchen, an M50 sprinter who took a pair of bronzes at the Linz world indoor meet last year (as well as a 4×2 gold), writes a friend of ours: “Can you help me to find near Spartanburg/Greenville (South Carolina) . . . a track & field meeting the weekend of 27th or 28th January 2007?” He says he’d drive up to three hours to get to the indoor meet. He’s staying in Spartanburg for about a week and a half. He concludes: “I run the 60-400 ( 6,47s, 24,39s, 53,96s) in the M50 and won some medals in the masters indoor WM in Linz.” If you know of a meet he can enter at the end of this month, please write him directly. He’s probably looking for a tuneup for the German nationals and Eurovets indoor championships in Helsinki (where medal standards have been dropped, BTW). Thankee.

    I doubt he ran 6.47 for 60 meters, at least not as a master athlete.

    Ryan, U are right. He ran 7.47 at Linz, not 6.47. He just mistyped.

    I do hope you guys can help him – but beware, he is one FAST guy. Reflect a moment – despite the typo, that 7.47 was a scorching run in Linz, for an M50, and the guy is 11th = on the world 100 rankings at M50. Give him some good competition, and wear him out before he gets to the Eurovets in Helsinki, please!

    Hallo Reinhard
    Ich hoffe, dass Du ein paar gute Wettk?ɬ§mpfe findest und die schnellen Amis dich von hinten sehn!
    To the Americans: I agree with Tom Phillips: wear him out! ;-)
    See You in Helsinki
