TV guy in his 30s is flatfooted against M70 sprinter
Wearing street shoes, Mike Castellucci of Channel 8 News in Arlington, Texas, huffs and puffs but can’t keep up with M70 sprinter Wayne Bennett on the University of Texas-Arlington track in a cutesy clip that lasts almost 2 minutes. It originally aired on the 5 o’clock news April 4. Wayne keeps his dignity. Mike does not. Wayne writes: “The guy took some liberties with some of my statements, but the publicity was good. It might even inspire some people to get out and exercise a little bit. . . . Some (acquaintances) have said: ‘I didn’t know you did that.’ . . . I’m always looking for some way to get masters track in front of the public. It was fun to do.”

Way to go Wayne. Most people have no idea about the incredible physical performances a committed Masters athlete can achieve or the hours of weekly work outs it takes to be at a championship level. Great exposure for Masters track and Field!
