Nadine O'Connor joins Pawlik as Masters Athlete of the Year
USATF Masters Track and Field today named Nadine O'Connor as Masters Athlete of the Year (Female), joining previously named M65 decastar Emil Pawlik (Male Masters Athlete of the Year). Nadine set yet another W60 pole vault world record this season, won sprints at nationals and would be credited with a 200-meter world record if a wind gauge had been used at the USATF Western Regional Masters Championships this past summer. (Ironically, the host of that meet was the Southern California Association, which won USATF Association of the Year.)
