Mary Harada joins elite club: SI mention in Faces in the Crowd
The week after nationals, Sports Illustrated again features a masters trackster: Mary Harada of Massachusetts and Liberty AC. The SI squib doesn’t mention Mary’s great marks in Sacramento, including her W75 American record in the 1500 of 7:31.56, which sliced the listed mark of 7:42.30 by Bess James in 1985. No matter. Look for Mary on page 21 of the August 2-9 issue. When I sent Mary a heads up and questions Wednesday, she replied: “SI told me it hits the news stand on Thursday. . . . I shall take a trip to the local library tomorrow to see if they have a copy.â€
Mary's photo is the same that appears with her Masters Hall of Fame award.

Congratulations Mary. Your achievements are truly inspiring.
Congratulations Mary! That is great!
CONGRATS Mary. Well deserved doesn’t even begin to describe it. Hope to see you at the Hayward Classic again next summer.
Congrats Mary. But Ken, you’re a writer. Are articles for magazine issues written many weeks in advance?
Mary…YOU ROCK!!!
