Michael Jackson lives! And sprints, hurdles and triple-jumps, too
Michael Jackson is an M35 masters trackster who pops up four times in the results from the California State Games, aka the State Games of America. You know, the Meet from Hell. But San Diego’s Balboa Stadium was a paradise for our Michael, who might sing its praises after recording marks of 25.22 for 200, 55.03 for 400, 58.88 for 400 hurdles (very impressive) and a triple jump of 9.89 meters (32-5 1/4). I’m also sorry I didn’t say hi to M60 quarter-miler Herman Castille. He announced his retirement several years back, but he’s changed his mind. Anyway, the most interesting results from the Aug. 6 meet in San Diego? The number of DNS and SCRs (did-not-start and scratches, respectively). Some 220 are listed that way. See results here.
What would MJ have entered had he come to Sacramento worlds?

Has Elvis left the stadium yet?
To answer the question in the picture of my namesake, I would have entered the 400m hurdles at Sacramento Worlds.
Thanks for the article and ironically, one of my students asked me if people make fun of my name. I showed them this (:

10km,20km moonwalk.
MJ was also a stud at B-W, as well as the last several indoor and outdoor nationals.
He would have entered McDonalds for their kiddie meal!
