Make a Nike star out of M40 masters sprinter Scott Meier
M40 sprinter Scott Meier — a coach and teacher in Farmington, Minnesota — is Rocky Balboa in spikes. See him run stairs, pull a sled, take block starts. In masters track, he’s not quite national-class. But man does he have heart. He also has a video entry in a contest sponsored by Nike and The Sports Authority store chain, and he could use our helpful clicks. Scott writes: “Most of the entries are geared toward road races, but mine is based on the track, from a masters perspective.” On our Forum, he notes: “As far as I can tell, it’s the only masters track entry in the contest.” So check out his video and vote him up the pop charts. You’ll also get ideas on how to train in the snow.
Scott has a chance at some cool gifts if we just give him some click support.
Hi Ken, I have been a daily reader of your blog/site since I found it two years ago. I am a 41 sprinter from Minnesota, and I have entered a video in Nike's "Believe In The Run" contest. I'm not sure if you have heard of this contest or not, but people are to submit a photo or video and explain why they believe in the run, or what it means to them to believe in the run. Most of the entries are geared toward road races, but mine is based on the track, from a master's perspective. I don't know if you would be willing to or would want to, but if you want to put it on your site, that would be great. The link to my entry is below. Embedding codes and sharing links are there also. If you don't use it, no big deal. Anyway, great job with MastersTrack.com and keep up the good work. http://www.brickfish.com/Pages/VideosSeries/VideoView.aspx?vid=8804_27780747&pid=2201818&scid=418& Thanks, Scott ___________________________ Scott Meier Farmington Middle School-West Physical Education Teacher (651) 460-1592 Farmington High School Strength & Conditioning Coach Weightlifting Coach (651) 460-1919 Farmington, MN 55024 http://www.farmington.k12.mn.us/fms/pe/index.html http://www.farmington.k12.mn.us/fhs/strength/index.html http://www.mnweightlifting.org smeier@farmington.k12.mn.us

Thank you Ken for bringing such a great video to Masterstrack.com. Wow!!!! Scott Meier your video is absolutley fantastic and inspirational and it moved me to immediately vote for you. Perfection describes this video. I suggest that others watch this video and see what I am talking about. It’s a must see. Good luck Scott and I hope you win.
Thank you everyone for your votes and comments. The contest ends Tuesday night, and and winners are announced at the end of May. I’ll let you know what happens. Just to let you know, I filmed all of this over the first week of April. You warm climate people don’t know how nice you have it! This week it did get up to 80 degrees one day, but now this morning its 40 and raining! Thanks again for your help. I appreciate it. I wish all of you continued success this outdoor season.
