Seattle TV station profiles M95 thrower Leon Joslin
Leon Joslin is having a blast at 96, throwing heavy objects and getting heavy coverage from local media. In January, the Seattle Times gave Leon some pop. (Eleven years earlier, it featured him as well.) Now it’s TV’s turn, with Channel 5 (KING) airing a 3-minute feature on Leon this past Thursday. You can see it here. Also starring in the clip is the the West Seattle hammer cage created by former USATF Masters T&F chairmen Ken Weinbel and George Mathews for the Seattle Masters AC. In September, the site will play host to the USATF Masters Weight and Superweight Championships and the Ultra Weight Pentathlon Championships. My money is on Leon to win all the M95 titles.
