Kettrell Berry hears teen’s molest accusations, is ordered to trial

Kettrell in court today.

World-class long sprinter Kettrell Berry, who last competed in 2011, appeared in a San Diego courtroom this morning and heard testimony from a 16-year-old former student at a school where he was an assistant principal. The court heard her account in the molestation case, and the judge ordered him to trial. Kettrell, 49, denies the charges and is free on $150,000 bail in the 13-count criminal case. He faces more than 11 years in prison if convicted, according to one account. We haven’t heard his side yet.

    Yes, Kettrell is a Masters sprinter…but honestly I look here to see what’s up with meets and training and stories about track. I enjoy the personal stories about athletes lives, but somehow it just doesn’t feel like this article belongs.

    It feels like the posts are fewer and farther between and it was such a drag to check out Mastertrack.com today and find this one.

    Agree. Is this the only news on Masters track and field worthy of posting??

    Does anyone have any pictures from Lisle Nationals? Thought I’d change the subject.

    Does anyone know if the Club West Team is going to put on their annual masters meet in Oct. like they have for the last 37 years?….They always run a great meet! …..I was hoping to run my first 400 of the year and catch a few waves!

    John Hadrick thought Lisle pics would post on this website:

    I didn’t see a photographer’s booth or any flyers while I was there so I can’t confirm.

    The photographer who was at Berea in 2011 must have taken at least 700 shots at Lisle, but I have never seen anything posted, and the meet has been over for 12 days.

    In addition, someone did video interviews of various people, but nothing has surfaced. Just a big old mystery as to what has happened.

    I posted quite a few videos of sprints and relays on YouTube. My username is JumperLC. Sorry , but the distance runs take up too much space on the memory card. 🙂
