Raschker up for another honor: Atlanta’s top amateur

In November, Phil Raschker journeyed to Monte Carlo to pick up her IAAF Masters Athlete of the Year award. On February 11, she won’t have to travel so far if she wins another award for her 2007 feats: Just drive down Interstate 75 a piece from her home in Marietta, Georgia. She’s one of three finalists for Atlanta (metro area) Amateur Athlete of the Year, as she learned from this letter a few days ago. Last year, the award went to a water skier, Regina Jaquess. The other two nominees haven’t been announced. With a population of about 5.2 million, metro Atlanta is no small burg. So this is pretty cool. Best of luck, Phil.
