Triple Medalist at the 2019 National Senior Games in Albuquerque, NM
The medals are heavy! Gold in singles racquetball, Gold in doubles racquetball, and Bronze in Shot Put, and a fourth place ribbon in discus in the 90-94 age group
First Medal in Albuquerque in the National Senior Games!
This is the victory stand at the national senior games in Albuquerque. I got a third place medal in the shot put for 90 to 95 age group. I did a little better than I expected. There were nine participants in our event. Later in the day my partner and I won a gold medal for doubles racquetball. Yesterday I won the gold medal in singles racquetball. I played three matches and could hardly move at the end of the day. Only one more event to compete in. The discus competition is due on Wednesday. There are 14,000 athletes here competing. Really neat people. Mary Ann deserves a medal for her support and trying to keep me humble.
