Rex Harvey elected to IAAF Masters Committee
Capitalizing on his presence at many IAAF and WMA functions over the years, Rex Harvey of Ohio was elected today to the IAAF Masters Committee. The vote took place among IAAF delegates attending the world championships starting this weekend in Osaka, Japan. Rex has long coveted this honor. I donβt know a lot about what the IAAF Masters Committee does, but it meant a lot to him to gain a seat at the table. At the least, he can defend American masters interests at the highest level of track-and-field. Rex remains a vice president of World Masters Athletics. He can handle the extra chores, since he used to be great decathlete. Good for you, Rex.

Congratulations to Rex. Well deserved for his dedication and hard work to our Masters family.From Spain where I am celebrating my 65th birthday and preparing for my favorite meet, October 6th, Club West, Santa Barbara, I am sending my best wishes to our contingent at Riccione.Stan and Stephen , keep an eye on Glynn Sutton, defending 100 and 200 meters 60 to 65 in San Sebastian on 05. He may run 100 dash in the low 12.s.
