Our USATFMasters Region Coordinator and 13-time World Masters Athletics (WMA) medalist Damon Blakemore (pictured at far right end) is a competitor and delegate for the Masters World Outdoor Championships, August 21 - September 3 in Daegu, ๐Ÿ‡ฐ๐Ÿ‡ทSouth Korea.

At the recent WMA General Assembly, Blakemore's leadership efforts were part of a successful bid for Houston to host the World Masters Outdoor Championships in 2030. ๐ŸŒŽ

๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธRepresenting Team USA in Daegu, Blakemore is scheduled to compete in the 100m hurdles and 300m hurdles. His message is:

"I have always been fascinated with achievement. That fascination has brought me many challenges, and Masters track and field is one that I have thoroughly enjoyed. Iโ€™ve gone from seeing whether or not I could do it, to seeing if I can do it better than my competitors, to striving to do it continuously. On this journey, I have made many friends around the world, many who happen to be my fiercest competitors.

The โ€œvillageโ€ consists of a universe of people who โ€œget itโ€ and the World Masters Championships are the place where we all put our best on display. Letโ€™s all show up and show out!!"
