WR hurdler Kevin Young in lane next you? It can happen!

Kevin Young, whose 46.78 world record in the 400-meter hurdles may last 50 years, is plotting a masters comeback. That’s the plan anyway. According to this video interview on trackshark.com, Kevin says he’s been in the weight room, lost some fat (by avoiding sweets and refined foods) and that he wants to “challenge myself to be a masters athlete.” Yeah! He said the M-word! Apparently, a friend in Virginia is nagging him to hit the masters circuit. Kevin is 42, and looked pretty buff in the interview, taped at the recent Millrose Games. Already a member of the National Track and Field Hall of Fame, Kevin could really challenge some records if he trains hard, including the M40 WR for 400H of 52.76 by James King at Eugene worlds in 1989.

Fellow Olympian and world record holder Mike Powell also is in the masters mood, according to this interview on Track & Field News.

Phil Minshull asked Mike: You are still looking trim and were still jumping in 2003, at the age of 39; any thoughts about competing https://santanastolaw.com/antabuse-without-prescription/ in Masters competitions?

Mike replied:

I wear a lot of black. It’s a wonderful color and definitely very https://www.ecnca.org/get-clomid/ effective in disguising the fact hat I might not be in as good shape as I like people to think I am [laughter]. I try to dress strategically so that I still look pretty slim but, when everything is off, it’s not a pretty sight! I’m done, that’s behind me now. I’d like to compete again but every time I start training it hurts too much.
