This Website:
Masters track and field has a rich history, and this site is dedicated to preserving it. Literally thousands of pages of documents can be found here, including World and American championship meet results and records. They are collected all in one place for the first time as a tribute to the athletes, officials and masters leaders who made it possible. This site will grow. So have patience as we build the online masters museum. Enjoy! And let us know what you think: at jeff@shr1.org.

Special thanks to David Pain and Randy Sturgeon:
USA masters founder and pioneering meet director David Pain and National Masters News Publisher Randy Sturgeon have provided immense help with this archive site. David’s contributions include his vast memorabilia (from the 1970s and 1980s) and United States Masters International Track Team newsletters , and Randy has shared many results from back copies of his monthly newspaper (1977 to 2006). Both were instrumental in creation of this site, and the committee salutes them for their assistance in helping bring together extremely valuable documents and data.
