Kevin Castille named USATF Athlete of the Week for 10K

Finland didn’t happen, I guess. USATF split the difference Wednesday when it named M40 newbie Kevin Castille its Athlete of the Week for his 10K American record. (I had my money on Phil Raschker). Still, Kevin is a worthy choice. And USATF quotes him as saying: “I didn’t have a great race, it was really crowded, but it wasn’t bad for not having done track races in the past two years. You forget how to race in an aggressive crowd. … I am 40, but I had a 10-year period where I didn’t run. It may have hurt me, but I think it helped me. I’m not a beat up 40-year-old.” Not indeed, Kevin. Have a great season.
