Masters dashers featured in Alyssa Tower video interview
More than a dozen masters sprinters and runners took part in the Dempsey Indoor Preview meet Saturday at the University of Washington in Seattle, and masters distance ace Alyssa Tower gathered nine for a little chat after their 60-meter dash. She posted the resulting video on YouTube and wrote about the event on Pete Magill’s YLFOR blog, which helpfully notes the ages of entrants. Martha Mendenhall and Mike Waller were among the interview subjects. She posted race videos, too. She also reports: “Tony Young had planned to compete in the 800, but had a mild toe injury and is nursing it for a big meet in New York next week. I had a talk with Tony anyway and asked him how things are going. Training is going well despite the nagging little toe. He was there to cheer Karen (Steen) on.â€
Great work, Alyssa!
Alyssa Tower rounded up some fast friends (not easy to do) for this chat.

Alysa, thanks for posting this. Nice interview (despite the background noise)which let me see many of my old Northwest track pals in sound and living color. How do y’all look so fit so early in the season/preseason??
Im sure we’ll see some you at Kamloops and Sacramento. -Grant L.
