Masters Track News and Muse

Meet director Andy Hecker of Ventura, California, has added the 220-yard hurdles exhibition at his SoCal Association meet on June 12. I'm hoping to run the race for old time's sake -- and to test my rehabbed lead knee. (I tore my left ACL in October 2002 and haven't run a hurdle race since.)

Fifty years ago, Roger Bannister clocked the first sub-4 and Sports Illustrated began its illustrious run. Today, sub-4 miles are commonplace and the masters record is 3:58.15. But where is a masters magazine to match the milestone SI? I think it's finally arriving. Starting this fall, GeezerJock will begin publishing.
