HRW Scores again at 2023 USATF National Masters Outdoor Championships
Just 14 days after our club brought home a slew of medals from the National Senior Games in Pittsburgh, and 4 months after our successes at the USATF National Masters Indoor Championships in Louisville, our past and present presidential speedsters continued our medal collection on July 21-23 in Greensboro, NC at the USATF National Masters Outdoor Championships - see Results link: http://heartlandracewalkers.com/results.php
On day 1, David Eisenberg and Alan Poisner entered the 5000-meter walk on the North Carolina A&T track and came away with a Silver and a Gold medal. David, in his first USATF Masters Outdoor event, earned a Silver Medal in a veteran field of 7 walkers, beating some former medalists in the 70-74 division. Alan had been in 5 previous Outdoor events and garnered his 6th Gold medal, this time in the 85-89 division.
Two days later, David entered the 10,000-meter walk (Alan chose not to enter) and garnered another Silver Medal, while again beating a number of seasoned veterans with a time of 1:07:07. His speedy time was close to the time he finished at the World Masters Athletics Indoor Championships in Torun, Poland in March, in his first race at that distance. He should continue to be a force at this distance in 2025 when he will be in the 75-79 division.
HRW has continued its winning ways in 2023 and we expect more recognition in the rest of 2023 and in the year ahead.
