Fast Track Masters Challenge set for Feb. 18 in Winston-Salem
M40 sprinter Calvin Padgett writes from down South: “I wanted to forward you information on an upcoming masters meet at a brand new track in Winston Salem, N.C. The date is Feb 18th. We are hoping with good attendance, the meet director will continue to host these types of meets. Any help would be greatly appreciative! The information is below in our club newsletter.” But of course, Calvin. Glad to flog a good meet. Here’s the meet info.

If you can’t make the Fast Track Meet there are meets in Kentucky in Mason-County on a 12 lap per mile track. http://www.ktccca.org Good compitition all ages. All the meets are on Saturday. 55 meter dash etc. Tight turns. USATF Officals. No awards. Very well organized.
Ken,
Thank you so much for your quick response on this! I have already gotten a few calls from out of state individuals who will be coming to this meet. In the south it is hard to find good quality Masters meets without having to travel far. We hope to have a good turn out and hope the facility will continue to host these type of meets! All the best.
