Kansas Senior Olympics
On a warm September day, HRW supplied 5 walkers for the Kansas Senior Olympics in Topeka at Hummer Park. BJ Thornburg and Julie Haller garnered medals in their very first state games; while Bobbie Thrutchley, Floyd Delon and Alan Poisner added to their previous collections.
The 1500 meter race was held at 10:00 am and included the national masters 55-59 champion Mike Wiggins who blasted to a 7:28 finish. At 12:30 (and about 90 degrees) the 5K had many fewer competitors. BJ, Julie and Alan braved the midday sun (just like mad dogs and Englishmen).
The results will be found at the RESULTS link of the homepage.
