Watch out, NorCal M50 sprinters, Lofton is coming

If news reports are accurate, M50 long sprinter James Lofton will soon take a coaching job with the Oakland Raiders — an arch foe of the San Diego Chargers who fired him as receivers coach a few weeks back. How delicious. If James moves to the Bay Area, he’ll see plenty of masters track action in the red-hot USATF Pacific Association, with the likes of Kevin Morning, Marty Krulee, Peter Grimes and other world-class sprinters in his age group. And with the 2010 nationals and 2011 world championships coming to Sacramento, we’ll finally get to see him test himself against the best. Cool! Go get ’em, James!
