WOW!! Now you've got me excited that I'm going to get to see these people in Boston!! Of course I always do and wouldn't trade it for the world!! Bubba

Phil Rascher did enter the nine events expected at the USATF masters championships in Boston last weekend. Of these, she won eight (the sole exception being the shot put) and set new W60 world records in three: 60m (3.89), 200m (28.94), and 60mH (10.16). In her first attempt at the W60 pole vault, her winning height (2.44m) fell short Nadine O'Connor's 3.01m.

Good to learn that Phil is overcoming lingering back and leg problems and apparently has the strength to carry all these medals home!
