Age-division awards in masters track, LDR revealed at Houston
I’m still waiting on the names of the USATF Masters Hall of Fame Class of 2015. (I know of one so far, since he emailed me.) But the slate of age-division Athletes of the Year was announced Saturday at the Houston annual meeting. They include three of my Striders teammates: Rita Hanscom, Linda Cohn and Brenda Matthews. (Kathy Bergen already is a MTF AOY). USATF’s complete list from the awards breakfast is here.
Jesse Owens Awards bash is a highlight of any USATF annual meeting.
