A few of you know me from competition, most of you have only read my posts. I just wanted to say that I'm hanging up the throwing shoes to pursue other interests for the time being, but I also wanted to publicly thank
Dave and
Ken for starting and keeping this site the best there is in the world in getting rankings, results, and news about the masters track and field community. A good deal of my motivation to train diligently was in reading Masterstrack.com rankings and seeing the marks others had put up and think about what I had to do to try and surpass them. Even though we have never met or competed against one another,
Glenn Thompson was an athlete that kept me on my toes for years after seeing his marks in the rankings, which in turn, made me work hard to keep up with that standard of throwing. Others I'd like to thank are here in Colorado, the Rocky Mountain region and some have since moved away but all have in some way, influenced and motivated me to work hard to succeed such as
Tim Edwards, Jerry Bookin-Weiner, Kris Lettow, Bob Jones, Chad Lindsey, Paul Barrett, Casey Malone, John Kuemmerlin and
Rande Treece to name a few of many. I wish all of you athletes out there much happiness and success in your track and field endevours and I hope they are as much fun for you, as they were for me!!
Milton Girouard P.S....and yes, the good looking chap in the pic to the left of this post is me.

...but at times, they can be impressed by a long discus throw if they happen to see one... 
I can see and hear it now... cat calls coming from the stands as the big fella's approach the ring to throw at Nationals in Maine! 
... Remember ladies, throwers are more than just good looking hunks... we have feelings too.
