Pan Pacific Masters Games get under way in Australia
The track meet portion of the Pan Pacific Masters Games starts tomorrow for a three-day run at Griffith University on Australia’s Gold Coast. Local papers are featuring the likes of 82-year-old multi-eventer Maurice Dauphinet and M30 distance runner (and cancer survivor) Roscoe McDonnell. Overall, 10,000 athletes 30-plus are entered in the festival. Entry is pretty cheap for tracksters: $30 for the first event (including the Results Book) and $5 for each additional event. They apparently are having an age-graded handicap 100-meter dash, “Master of Masters,” featuring winners of the age-group finals. Best of luck to everyone Down Under, and Happy Halloween to those Up Over.

The Pan Pacific Games held a couple of years ago in Calif. were very nice. Maybe they will return
Unfortunately, that is not likely. The Sac Sports Commission backed out of its committment to host the games again causing some bad blood with the Games’ organizers. Too bad…
