Canadian masters elect 1988 Olympian as CMAA president
Canadian delegates gathered Monday in lasix furosemide Toronto for their Annual General Meeting. They chose a new leader, reports Doug Smith of Ontario, who writes: “Brian Keaveney’s term as president expired. Paul Osland was elected as the new president. Paul took the famous fall over the finish line when he was tripped in Lahti — still winning the silver in the 1500!” Paul, a 1988 Olympian for Canada who was born near Los Angeles, wrote a nice little letter introducing himself. Paul says: “My vision is for CMAA to become the ‘go to place’ for all masters’ athletes in Canada as a source of information, community networking and the development and promotion of Masters Athletics within ambien Canada . . . I look forward to serving this great community of athletes and I welcome any comments or feedback to
help us to build an even stronger organization. Please direct your feedback by email to
paul.osland@hotmail.com or to my Facebook account http://www.facebook.com/posland“
Paul tripped over a Brit near end of the M45 1500 final in Lahti. (Click for video)
Also a great idea is being promoted by the Canadian Masters Athletic Association.
According to this newsletter, Canadians interested in entering Kamloops can pay a one-time fee of $10 to join their version of USATF:

Canadian masters nationals conclude, but where are results?
Kamloops, British Columbia, will host the world indoor championships in March 2010, but the LOC’s performance as site of the just-ended Canadian masters outdoor nationals was weak in the results department. We haven’t seen any. The three-day meet ended Sunday. Not even Friday’s results are posted, as of early Monday morning. Tsk, tsk. The entry lists have been up for a while, at least. Meantime, one entrant wrote me: “The officials are very friendly and professional. There are only a handful of U.S. citizens up here, nearly all from Washington state. . . . No Earl Fee. Saturday was run with a terrific . . . headwind for the the 100m (up to near 7 km/sec) and mostly head/side wind for the long jump. So times and jumps were subpar.”
