"Track athletes over 100 are rare. Even rarer: age-group runners, jumpers and throwers winning prize money at international masters meets.
But in a plan to boost U.S. medal fortunes at the upcoming WMA World Indoor Championships in Toruń, Poland, USA Track and Field has launched a $125,000 program to induce six centenarians — and more than 300 other world-class Americans over 35 — to enter the late March meet.
Former elite decathlete Rex Harvey, chairman of the USATF Masters Track & Field Committee, announced details on Christmas Eve........Under the plan, any American currently listed in the top six in the world is eligible for up to $2,000 — $1,000 for travel and housing and $1,000 for winning medals — $400 for gold, $200 silver and $100 bronze. (Every relay team member would get the same as well.)"
I wish USA Triathlon would start a program like this for the ITU WC events...
