to stay active. Coming up in a moment, athletes in their 80s, 90s, even 100

[5:56:47 PM] This is a story that absolutely, positively, 100%proves
the adage that you're never too old. How about a USA Track and Field Championship
where competitors are as old as 100. Jim Armstrong shows us, it's happening
all weekend right here in Boston. Reporter: it's the USA USA Masters Indoor
Track Championship. "I'm 100 years old." Reporter: Leland is a member of
the SoCal Track Club in San Diego competing in four events. Today it was
the men's weight throw. A little wobbly, but he did it. "It keeps me alive."
Reporter: 920 athletes are competing this weekend from ages 30 to 100. Reporter:
"My goal is to get everybody in shape in America that's over 50 years of
age." "We have 47 world champions here to regular everyday Joe and Marys.
Reporter: they are competing in a full range of indoor track events. It's
the competition. It's the only sport, I feel, that you have that head-to-head
competition. For so long into your age groups. Reporter: next week, many
of these jumpers, vaulters, and runners go to the world Masters Championship
in Budapest. You always want to get to the next age group. Once you get to
100, that's the one you want to be in. Jim Armstrong, WBZ Nnews. You can
watch all of the action at the Masters Championship tomorrow and Sunday
at the Reggie Lewis Track. Admission is free. |

[10:58:39 PM] Sorboni. That is Leland, and yes, he just turned 100
years old and he's still competing nationally. The USA Masters Track Indoor
Championship is in Boston this weekend. Hundreds of athletes are there competing,
and he represents the Southern California Track Club. He is entered in the
high jump, shot put, weight throw and superweight throw. He is expected to
set world records in at least one of those events. |

[10:59:21 PM] He was with a sheriff's department out of San Diego. The man
is just an incredible human being. He has been setting track and field records
since 1937. So keep track and field records since 1937. Hope when I'm 100
... I hope I get to be 100. Isn't that incredible though. |
