HRW Repeats Medal Haul at 2024 USATF National Masters Indoor Championships March 21-22

Last year, HRW sent three walkers to Louisville, bringing home a Silver medal, several Golds, and an American record in the 1500 meters by Alan Poisner. This year, a different threesome did it again in Chicago, with Karen Swisher adding an American record in the 1-mile race and medals from Alan and David. (see Results link).

On Day 1, Karen set the F 70-74 American record in the 1-mile race at this infrequently held distance, while Alan and David joined a number of fellow walkers who succumbed to some very zealous judges. However, on Day 2, all three of our club members took Gold medals in the 3000-meter race. This was Alan’s 5th Gold medal in the indoor 3000-meter race in various age groups, and Karen and David moved up from previous Silver medals at that distance.

So, once again, HRW shines on the national stage in Masters Racewalking, with more awards expected in the years ahead, including the USATF Masters Outdoors in July.
