Go, Dottie, Go!

Monday, 26 December 2016 by Del Moon

Dottie Gray, 91, Saint Louis, Missouri   When Dottie Gray signed up for the first national sports competition for seniors in 1987, she had no idea how fa r the road ahead would stretch. In fact, before she was 54, the petite powerhouse had no idea she would even become a runner, or that her

Heart and Soul

Wednesday, 19 October 2016 by Del Moon

Heart and Soul – Georgia Billger, 77, Rehoboth Beach, Delaware Georgia Billger has a competitive heart.

A Legacy Honored

Tuesday, 15 March 2016 by Del Moon

A Legacy Honored – Tom McAdam, 60, Greenwood Village, Colorado Whether it’s a lifelong athlete, or a person getting involved in Senior Games at a later age, a first step has to be taken to get in the game. Before that step is usually an inspiration, and families frequently provide the spark. Tom McAdam’s spark

The Great Awakening

Tuesday, 15 March 2016 by Del Moon

The Great Awakening – Cheryl Cherry, 67, Clermont, Florida To watch Cheryl Cherry cycle in competition, one would not believe she only took up the sport less than four years ago at age 63. But there she was, at the top of her game, winning a gold medal in the 10K and silver in the

Sportingly Yours

Tuesday, 15 March 2016 by Del Moon

Sportingly Yours – Don Hoeppner, 85, Whitewater, Wisconsin Will Rogers famously said “I never met a man I didn’t like.” In the case of Don Hoeppner, you could say he never met a sport he didn’t like.

Catch Me If You Can

Tuesday, 15 March 2016 by Del Moon

Catch Me If You Can – Harold Bach, 96, Bismarck, North Dakota People have always had trouble keeping up with Harold Bach. At 96, the North Dakotan should have earned a dictionary entry under the word “active” by now. He’s pretty fast on the track too, and has been a fixture at the National Senior

A Personal Best Life

Tuesday, 15 March 2016 by Del Moon

A Personal Best Life – Tom Lough, 73, Round Rock, Texas Tom Lough is, by his own estimation, a man who does not possess special skills or talents, athletic or otherwise. How, then, does he explain a life of accomplishments that includes competing in Modern Pentathlon at age 26 in the 1968 Olympic Games in Mexico

The Sense of Success

Tuesday, 15 March 2016 by Del Moon

The Sense of Success – Marika Vorosmarty-Blumerick, 71 Shelby Township, Michigan While all Senior Games athletes strive to perform at their best, the reasons vary as to what motivates them.

Saturday, 05 December 2015 by Del Moon

“Wait to Worry” – Ryan Beighley, 90, The Villages, Florida Most of us can (or one day will) point to a moment or experience that brings about a profound change.
