Portland meet in June featuring masters events — and mile!

Check this out: The Portland (Ore.) Track Festival returns June 13, and masters again are invited, especially elite milers. Last year, Tony Young outlegged Pete Magill in the mile, setting an M45 world record (4:16.09) in the process. (Here’s the race video.) An added bonus this year: “Olympic Throws Competition and Clinic Olympic gold medalist Mac Wikins will be teaming with fellow Olympian Tom Petranoff to host the throws competition at the PTF. Events will be conducted at the Concordia University Throws Center and will be open to Youth, Open and Masters athletes.” Cool! Maybe Mac and Tom will compete as well.
