M45 Nick Berra claims another Drake Relays masters 800 title

Nick Berra flies on the track and through the air. He’s a FedEx pilot (and Penn entrant?)

Looks like Pennsylvania’s Nick Berra, 46, is going for another wild “trains, planes and automobiles” double this weekend. On Friday, he won the Drake Relays masters men’s 800 in 2:02.85. He also won in 2013 and 2010. Here’s what I wrote in 2010: “Nick Berra says he had ‘a crazy couple of days’ over the weekend — ‘literally planes, trains and automobiles.’ That’s the understatement of the track season. On Friday, he won a drizzly masters 800 at Drake and the next day he anchored the Greater Philadelphia TC to third in the M40 4-by-4 at Penn.” On Friday, a total of 30 runners competed in two heats. Gerald Kubiak won the “slow” heat in a nifty 2:09.43. Not sure of his age. The ladies run Saturday.

Here are results from Drake on Friday:
