Sprinters and distance divas shared the track at the Indoor Worlds today with the 200m, 800m and 3K finals. Some of the distance women doubled running the 800m and the 3k. The amazing Kathy Martin (USA) won both in W55. W70 Jeanne Daprano (USA), who has a foot in both camps, won the 200m and 800m!
The marvelous Phil Raschker (USA) won W60 200m and tied for gold in the pole vault with Aussie Wilma Perkins.
Aussie Marie Kay (W50) won the 200m and the long jump. Marie jumped further (with all her jumps) than W40 & W45. Impressive!
Jeanne Bowman in her first world champs and hoping to making the final got the bronze in the 200m. Way to go Jeanne!
Canadian Olga Kotelko won two more golds and set two more World Records in the W90 200m and shot put. Zdenka Kirsch of Germany won the W80 3,000m in a record time 19:07.34.

Got an email from Jeanne Bowman on her bronze in the 200m…”I am on Cloud 9!!! I had a crappy time because I have never run on such a tight curb! I lost my rhythm twice and just tried to stay in my lane and not fall down! It doesn’t get any better
than this!!!”
