Roger Kingdom issues final call for hurdle challengers
Coach Roger Kingdom in Pennsylvania writes about his elite hurdles race: “We are in the final stages of putting together our meet info. I need to know what masters hurdlers and 5K runners are seriously interested in competing. I need to have some indication of their participation by March 9, 2007. The cutoff standards are 15.50 in the 39-inch hurdles and 17:30 in the 5K. Please have them reply to me . . or Daniel Caulfield at 724-938-5828.” Coach Kingdom also sent along meet info and an entry form (which I converted to PDFs). Spread the word.
Roger Kingdom invites non-hurdlers to masters meet
Four months ago, I noted Roger Kingdom’s challenge to post-40 hurdlers: Let’s see who’s the greatest masters timber topper. Today I learned that he’s added some other masters events to his April 21 meet in Pennsylvania, where he coaches the CUP track team. Roger writes of the hurdle showdown: “Yes! It’s still on. However, I need for all of the 40 and over hurdlers who are interested in competing to contact me at kingdom@cup.edu . . . . We have also added the 5K, 800m and 100m races for Masters over 40 to the schedule. Please keep in mind, we will post qualifying standards for the 5K. This is to keep the race competitive and fun. We will have all of the meet and entry info up on Direct Athletics within the week.”
