Two trackos are Geezerjock of the Year runner-ups
Geezerjock magazine has announced its second annual set of Geezerjocks of the Year. (Last year, our Bill Collins won top honors.) This year’s top geezerdog is a 54-year-old racquetball champ from Staten Island, N.Y., named Ruben Gonzalez. This puts to rest the notion that Geezerjock’s editors are trackcentric. But two track stars made the age-group award list — M55 middle-distance stud Nolan Shaheed of Pasadena and W60 vaulter/sprinter Nadine O’Connor of Del Mar, California. (Bill Collins apparently wasn’t eligible to repeat, although he was the world masters Athlete of the Year in the IAAF’s estimation. Interesting fact: Bill also was 54 when named GJOTY.)

Congratulations to Nolan Shaheed and Nadine O’Connor for their fine performances this year and winning the GeezerJock of the Year awards in their divisions. Congratulations as well to Bill Collins for his tremendous year in 2006. Wishing all of you the best of health and continued success in 2007. Sincerely, Rob Duncanson.
