Medals being mailed to the Orono relay champions
My wife recently got her gold medal in the mail. Chris was a member of the national champion 4×1 relay in the W50 age group at the Orono masters nationals. But that Sunday in August she was dismayed to learn meet management had run out of golds by the time relays came around. This was deja vu all over again. Five years earlier, they told Chris they didn’t have ribbons either. (Chris had won sixth place in the W45 200-meter dash under a brutal sun.) In 2002, meet organizers neglected to order ribbons, meet director Rolland Ranson told me. So the good news is this: If you have a gold medal coming, write to Rolland and give him your snail address.
