How many masters clubs train with their namesake mascots?

W75 superstar Christa Bortignon (lady on the right) belongs to the 90-member Greyhounds Masters Track Club in Vancouver, British Columbia, coached by masters legend Harold Morioka (petting dog) On Saturday, she reports, two real greyhounds joined them for practice at Simon Fraser University. She sent a group picture including the canines, Happy and Huggy. “In dog years, they fit our track and field club’s age requirements, but couldn’t stick around. They had to run!” the club said in a clever caption. So have any other clubs had a chance to train with their mascots?

Happy and Huggy pose with fellow Greyhounds. Unsure if they did intervals.

    I didn’t compete for the Impala Racing Team ( it’s an all women’s club)…but I coached the Impalas for many years…and got to run with a herd of impals and zebras while in Kruger National Park in South Africa…incredible experience
