Root for our geezerkids at USATF Indy open nationals
Roald Bradstock, 45, and Jeff Laynes, 36, compete in prelims today at the USATF open national championships — which serve as the IAAF worlds trials (picking the team for Osaka). Roald is in Flight 1 (listed as Arne Bradstock). So he gets to watch one of the athletes he once coached in Flight 2 — American record holder Breaux Greer, who gave a great press conference yesterday. Jeff will have to overachieve to make it to the next round in the 100. (Top 2 plus next best 8 advance to semis.)
