SMITH PLACES IN NATIONAL SENIOR GAMES

WILL SMITH, Carrollton resident and Chaplain of the Carroll County Veterans Memorial Park Committee, ran in the 2013 National Senior Games Presented by Humana, in Cleveland, Ohio. The competition was held July 19 - August 1, 2013.  Track and Field events were located in the George Finnie Stadium, Baldwin Wallace University.  Smith ran with a group of 23 ages 75-79 and placed third in the 50M.  He received a very impressive medal which anyone would be proud to have.  He attended the games with his wife Annie and they both described it as “quite an experience.”  There were lots of participants and it was interesting to note that there were three runners 95-99!
