Dussett, Henry win USATF masters 400s; Gröger goes sub-51 at 52
USATF media folk helpfully fetched quotes from the masters winners:
Masters women’s 400 meters – Angee Henry
“I’ll like to see more Masters opportunities. So hopefully me running here with these ladies will help to open up those doors for others to be encouraged but also for us to have more opportunities. I have been competing since I was four, competing in USATF or AAU since I was little. What else was there to do?”
Why do you compete?
“This is new for me — my first Masters. I still run collegiate races and place in the top three. So this is a transition but a good one. They have been so welcoming and have done a good job. I am encouraged to follow this path.”
Masters men’s 400m – Antwon Dussett
“I was a good race. I ran just how I wanted, not quite as fast as I wanted but that’s OK. The crowd had a ton of energy. Track’s a solo sport so any time the crowd can get behind you that’s a huge boost and gives a ton to run for.”
