Both athletes had played table tennis before, but it was Bill’s idea that the pair compete as doubles in the National Senior Games. <span> </span>Both athletes are so enthusiastic about playing that they have organized their own club in their hometown of Vicksburg, Mississippi. Bill, a race-walker as well, was joined by his wife Janey who competes in the 65-70 swimming age bracket. “I love the energy, this vivacious energy,” Janey said, describing her experience of the games. “None of these people say ‘I’m too old for this’.” Edward’s wife, who was also there, said she plans on competing in archery at the next National Games</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;"> </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh1rkyYKTtuKhtWStj_y9ocxFYQn_O0hoccwyQ_5g5FBSYeeN2rkweuSBqqJygRkNK15C3UatppA2hXRnrrQtUv6yMwUXcmIAJN35ufSvSWfP8j0cViFfNptk9I6hAkdVIKqkBbufdsLSA/s1600/Ms.Hands%2526Ms.Seabergh.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><br />

Loosing somebody is one of the hardest things to cope with, but “Jeanie” Shipman found something positive to direct her energy toward. “I thought hey, I can get a pair of tennis shoes and run up and down the street,” she said, recalling how she started running. She now runs with her daughter and college-aged granddaughter in local races. “I enjoy it a lot- I really like seeing all the old people out here that care about their health and being active,” she said of the Senior Games. This is her fourth time at the Senior Games.<span> </span>After winning third place her first time at Lafayette, LA, she was injured her second year and competed right after chemotherapy treatments her third year.<span> </span>Accompanied by her husband, she considers this fourth trip her comeback year.</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;"><br />

</style> <![endif]--><b>Frank Farrar – Britton, SD – Cycling/Triathlon, 80-84 –</b> Cyclist and triathlete Frank Farrar kept warm this winter by training, regardless of the nine feet of snow they had in his hometown of Britton, South Dakota. An athlete in the senior games since 1987, Frank is convinced of the benefits of a healthy lifestyle. “I’m a great believer that exercise will extend your life. It’s a great cure, and probably the best medicine there is for your life,” he said, knowing that he is a testament to the truth of his statement.</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;"><br />

</style> <![endif]--><b>Joseph Hawkins – Fort Washington, MD (D.C. Suburb) – Table Tennis, 60-64</b> – The National Senior Games in Houston is the first for Table Tennis competitor in the 60-64 age bracket, Joseph Hawkins. “I began playing table tennis when I was 13, played for four or five years in the circuit, continued off and on for many years and took it up seriously when I retired in 2004,” Joseph said. He and his wife are staying with some friends in Houston. “We have some very gracious hosts, our friends have given us a royal treatment. “ Joseph is most impressed by the championship skill at the senior level, “It’s inspiring to see what’s possible as you age into your senior life.” Joe was very happy to have made it to this year’s National Games that he’s determined to return. “It’s been a fantastic experience, it’s been high class, quality, and I really look forward to next time.

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;"><b>George Felix – Waco, TX (Team from Waco & Temple) – Basketball, 55+ -</b> George Felix and his basketball team from Temple and Waco, TX are at their third National Senior Games this year. A basketball player since he just a kid and up through college, George thinks the best thing about the Senior Games is the comradery between the athletes. “You would think that a bunch of competitive people would be at each other’s throats – because everybody’s very competitive, but when the game’s over, everybody’s friends,” George said.<span> </span>“It’s sort of amazing to think that people come from all over the country to participate in it. We’ve met a lot of people from all over the country- the same guys we met four years ago in Louisville we played against two years ago and played against this year.” <span> </span>George’s father, a former Senior Athlete himself, has been more than supportive. He happened to be visiting his son six years ago during the Texas State Senior games when George’s team won the 50+ championship, qualifying them for the National Games held in Louisville, Kentucky.<span> </span>George said his dad and his dad’s wife enjoyed it so much that they went with the team to Louisville, had a great time, and wound up joining George and his team in California. Naturally, they came to Houston to show their support this year.<span> </span>“It’s sort of like a family reunion every two years,” George said. “It’s a fun family experience and it just makes it that much better and that much more fun.”</div><br />

Harry Pepper, 100, and Kay Glynn, 58, both athletes participating in the Games, touched the torch to a fuse. The flame rose to the top of the 28-foot cauldron. Pepper went on to win a Gold Medal in Singles Bowling and Glynn took home a handful of medals of her own.</p> <p class="NoSpacing">Or how about when more than 5,000 people packed the Houston Toyota Center for the Celebration of Athletes? The flags of all 50 states, the Veterans Games, the District of Columbia, the Canada 55+ Games and the European Senior Games were carried into the arena by two senior athletes representing each state, organization or country. One hundred forty seven international athletes participated in the Games.</p> <p class="NoSpacing">With a registered 10,000 athletes, ranging in age from 50 to 101, the Games began on June 16. The athletes, plus family and friends, converged on Houston. The 2011 Summer National Senior Games were the first to allow Canadian athletes to participate under the Canadian flag. Letty Abbott, 72, from Canada was heard saying that the heat in Houston was something she was going to adjust to. </p> <p class="NoSpacing">“We are not used to that,” Abbot said. </p> <p class="NoSpacing">Charles J.

Johnston, an 80-year-old swimmer and 1952 Olympian from Houston, were inducted into the National Senior Games Association Hall of Fame.</p> <p class="NoSpacing">Many of the athletes, besides competing and preparing themselves for their respective sports, overcame life struggles.</p> <p class="NoSpacing">Jose Badillo, 73, from Nebraska, who participated in the track and field venue, is a prostate cancer survivor. Prostate cancer is not the end of the road for Badillo. </p> <p class="NoSpacing">“We just have to apply ourselves a little bit stronger to be successful,” Badillo said.</p> <p class="NoSpacing">Vivian Stancil, 64, of Riverside, Calif., completely lost her sight at the age of 19. She swims the 100 freestyle and the 50 yard backstroke. Blindness has not stopped her from competing. </p> <p class="NoSpacing">“When I get to the end of the lane I hear the water splashing against the wall; I can judge by the noise how close I am to the wall,” Stancil said. “I brush against the ropes, and I know it’s time to move over.”</p> <p class="NoSpacing">Carol Jean Vosburg, 70, of Treasure Island, Fla., overcame open-heart surgery, back surgery, and an accident while cycling. </p> <p class="NoSpacing">“After a plate and six screws in my left leg, I’m still out there doing it,” she said. Vosburg took home a gold medal, 1:20:39, for her age class in the triathlon competition.</p> <p class="NoSpacing">More than 2,000 medals were given out in basketball, cycling, track & field, volleyball, race walk, road race, table tennis, badminton, racquetball, tennis, bowling and swimming. </p> <p class="NoSpacing">Texas athletes took top honors with more than 350 medals. Tennessee, California, and Florida athletes all earned more than 100 medals. Numerous records were broken in all sports. </p> <p class="NoSpacing">John Boggs, 51, from Charleston, W.Va., earned his first National Senior Games medal, a gold one, in the triathlon. He said the toughest part of the race began when the Texas heat came out in full force. “I was thinking I was ready for it to end,” Boggs said.</p> <p class="NoSpacing">The spirit evinced by all the athletes had an inspiring effect on all those in Houston who witnessed the competitions. That same spirit will be evident in Cleveland in 2013. The representatives from Cleveland received the National Senior Games Association flag in Houston at the Celebration of Athletes. In 2013, it will be their turn to light the flame that represents the essence of the National Senior Games.</p>Christinehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03319189137404316602noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4235335549390390425.post-61938086899307156272011-06-30T14:31:00.000-07:002011-06-30T14:32:12.760-07:00Senior Games Daily Comic<div>Thursday, June 30, 2011</div><div><br /></div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiq6pqXcMta1jwROJyEOO7KXJY-Sql1dPktm4328ohq4us8b6Eb6tzvihhp8ZYgeftPsklijww7iEnDKZyNWscU0SOZv2_bH6gqxVViNRDyk2BKK9PlMaC9E8-vkmv5BzJWVQM_eEHUf0E/s1600/0630_comic.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 124px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiq6pqXcMta1jwROJyEOO7KXJY-Sql1dPktm4328ohq4us8b6Eb6tzvihhp8ZYgeftPsklijww7iEnDKZyNWscU0SOZv2_bH6gqxVViNRDyk2BKK9PlMaC9E8-vkmv5BzJWVQM_eEHUf0E/s400/0630_comic.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5624128744764637410" /></a><div>Les & May is the creation of Senior Games competitor Larry Lewis.

Brings Home Gold, Silver and Bronze Medals at the National Senior Games<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; "><b>Houston, TX</b></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; "> – Chris McConnell of Andover, MA won gold, silver and bronze medals this past week competing in the National Senior Games held at Turner Stadium, Humble, TX. More than 10-thousand senior men and women athletes from all 50 states, the District of Columbia, and several foreign countries competed in the world’s largest multi-sport event for athletes age 50 and older at 13 separate venues in and around Houston, TX.</span><div><span class="Apple-style-span" ><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 15px;"><br /></span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Tahoma, 'Sans Serif', Arial; font-size: 11px; "><p class="x_MsoNormal" style="margin-top: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-left: 0in; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; "> </p><p class="x_MsoNormal" style="margin-top: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-left: 0in; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; ">McConnell, M55, competed in his first-ever National Senior Games, running six races in four days. McConnell, who is currently 54, competed in the Men’s 55-59 age group, due to his turning 55 before year end. He placed third in the M55 age group in the 100m dash with a time of 12.95. His time of 26.21 was good enough to earn him a silver medal in the 200m dash and he ran the third leg of the gold medal winning 4x100m relay. The weather conditions in Houston were not conducive to fast times. It was hot and humid for all the races, with extremely strong wind gusts into the faces of the sprinters. “I posted my results on my Facebook page, complaining about the wind saying, just once I would like to run with a gale force wind pushing me instead of into me,” McConnell said. “Running into such a strong headwind, makes times meaningless and makes you feel like you’re running a lot further.”</p><p class="x_MsoNormal" style="margin-top: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-left: 0in; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; "> </p><p class="x_MsoNormal" style="margin-top: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-left: 0in; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; "><br /></p><p class="x_MsoNormal" style="margin-top: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-left: 0in; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; ">Unlike younger athletes who get faster as they mature, Master athletes generally get slower each year. However, McConnell’s times have actually improved each year. “Yes, my times each year have gotten faster,” McConnell stated, “but, that’s only because I haven’t reached my peak as a Master yet.” It generally takes several years to get a sprinter’s fast-twitch muscles firing on all cylinders. Once that happens, Masters’ times plateau and then drop off. McConnell’s goal at that point will be to try to decrease at a slower rate than others his age group. And, more importantly, not to get injured, which is one of the biggest threats to a Master athlete’s career.</p><p class="x_MsoNormal" style="margin-top: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-left: 0in; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; "> </p><p class="x_MsoNormal" style="margin-top: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-left: 0in; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; "><br /></p><p class="x_MsoNormal" style="margin-top: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-left: 0in; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; ">McConnell, a former Reading High School Class and state champion and an All-East, Northeastern University record holder, started sprinting competitively again in 2008 after taking a twenty-eight year hiatus. “It seemed that everyone I knew who had never run before was running in road races and marathons, and I thought I would love to get back to sprinting. I would watch my son, Christopher, compete at Andover HS and my competitive juices would get flowing, but I am not a distance guy,” Chris lamented.</p><p class="x_MsoNormal" style="margin-top: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-left: 0in; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; "> </p><p class="x_MsoNormal" style="margin-top: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-left: 0in; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; "><br /></p><p class="x_MsoNormal" style="margin-top: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-left: 0in; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; ">Chris’s fortunes changed after reading an article in 2007 about Bill Collins and the whole world of Masters Track. After doing some research, he hired Richard Holt, from Momentum Sports in London, as his coach, for a year. In 2009 he joined the Greater Boston Track Club and switched coaches and began being coached by David Callum the sprint coach for the GBTC.

The shattered records were set in 2002 and 2003 by Phil Raschker, who is competing in Houston right now as well. Raschker competes in pole vault in the next age division. Glynn broke Raschker’s 3.05-meter vault by .03 meters.<span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>Dinah Anderson, 59, from Texas, came in second.</p> <p class="MsoNormal">Tamara Alegria, 53, of Arizona, broke the Senior Games record for the javelin throw in her age division. Linda Cohn set the shattered record in 2007 with 29.71 meters. Alegria threw 29.83 meters.</p> <p class="MsoNormal">Kirk Bentz, 57, of California, broke a Senior Games record in pole vault for the men’s 55 – 59 competitions Monday morning. Bentz’s 4.05-meter vault blew away his very own record he set back in 2009 of 3.83 meters.</p> <p class="MsoNormal">Two competitors broke the Senior Games record in the women’s 55 – 59 800-meter run Monday. The time to beat was Jeanne Hoagland’s 2:51.73 set in 1995. Second-place finisher Caryl Chlan, 56, of Louisiana, beat the record with a time of 2:49.58, and Paula Dickson-Taylor, 58, of New Jersey, finished first with a time of 2:46.48</p>Christinehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03319189137404316602noreply@blogger.com0
