YouTube archiving more masters track videos from nationals
Videos and slide shows of Oshkosh nationals are blossoming on YouTube. “Faster, Higher, Farther . . . Older,” set to classical music, shares my fascination with age. This 5-minute masterpiece starts with the younger masters and ends with the M95s at nationals. Meanwhile WBAY, a local TV station, focused on two M95s — Frank Levine and Max Springer. The local Fox affiliate also had a report on the M95s. Leland McPhie, also 95, was left out. But he got some pop on another station after he broke several world age-group records. In the M70 100 final, Bob Lida is shown edging Bobby Whilden in this short clip. And I was delighted to come across a long report from March on Landover nationals, which shows Alisa Harvey, Sid Howard and many others, including Val Barnwell holding off Michael Waller in the M50 200. Michael had everyone’s number four months later.

Thanks for the plug, Ken. If any of the athletes I included in “Faster, Higher, Farther…Older” would like a JPEG copy of his or her photo that I included in the YouTube video, they can email me at RJDavellar@yahoo.com and I will be happy to send the file as an email attachment.
Leland’s WR shot put is shown here:
