62-Year-Old Black Track Runner Breaks Record at the National Senior Games in Iowa
Johnnie Reid, a 62-year-old African American athlete who works at the State Attorney’s office in Naples, Florida, just broke a national record at the National Senior Games in Ames, Iowa. She ran 100 meters in 13.6 seconds in the 60-64 age group.
This, however, is not the first time that she has broken a record. In 2023, she also broke a record when she ran 50 meters in 7.36 seconds in the same age group. Last week, though, while in Iowa, she broke her own record running 50 meters in 7.23 seconds.
