M45 sprinter Sullivan gets Boston ink on return home
The Boston Herald today features local native Mike Sullivan, an M45 sprinter entered at Boston nationals, on the meet’s first day. Nice piece by Joe Reardon (with a photo by moi). And Mike’s not shy about his goals: “The former Brockton High and Arizona State 400-meter ace will have his sights set squarely on Bill Collins’ world indoor best of 22.57 seconds for the 200-meter dash in the 45-49 age group at the 2007 USA Masters at the Reggie Lewis Track and Athletic Center.” Go get ’em, Mike.

Mike Sullivan is an “anomoly” as a 45-49 yr. old sprinter. After having watched him run in 2006 (fortunately not in the same heat as me), I was amazed by his level of talent and ability in the 100m to 400m events. A tremendous athlete. I wish him well in Boston
As a track runner in Massachusetts (Braintree) during the late 1970’s everyone talked about Brockton. They were such a powerhouse. Good luck Mike!
I ran with Mike at Brockton on the 4x 440 relay team. Great athlete back then but haven’t heard or seen much of him the last 20 years. He should be well rested.
