Vice president for throw comebacks

Name: John White, MERSBT@aol.com

Born: August 31, 1941, in Bushnell, Illinois, USA

Occupation: Operations officer, Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA)

Home: Snohomish, Washington, USA

All-time T&F bests: While stationed in Germany in the 1970s with the Air Force, he had shot, discuss and hammer bests in the upper 40s, 150s and 160s, respectively.

Masters achievements: None yet. John wrote in April 1997: "A few months ago while cruising the Net I came across some track and field pages which eventually led to the Masters T&F Home Page, and my interest was re-ignited."

Trivia: In West Germany, John belonged to the Trier Track Club and trained with world-class hammer man Karl-Hans Rhiem. John's training partner was Dave McKenzie, a national class USA hammer thrower (whom he'd like to get in contact with again).

CEO's note: In early 1997, John in practice threw 6-pound shot 40 feet (12.19), the 2kg discus 115 feet (35.06) and the 16-pound hammer 110 feet (33.52). He would have ranked in top 20 nationally in 1996 in M55 shot, top 35 in discus and top 10 in the hammer -- as well as placed in top 3 in those events at the Spokane nationals. John's barely started and already near the top!

See Nedstats for very detailed information on visits since July 8, 1998.
