Half of finishers at Olympic Trials in 50K walk were masters age

With 39-year-old Tim Seaman taking second, five of the 10 finishers at Sunday’s Olympic Trials for the 50-kilometer race walk team were over 35. But since winner John Nunn, 33, made only the “B” standard for the London Games, he’s the whole team. I covered the race in Santee, California (10 minutes from my home) for sister Patch sites. Check out my photos and videos. (And you’ll be helping my traffic, too. Good for job security.)

M45 Allen James took seventh in the U.S. Olympic Trials with a time of 4:39:24.
