This past weekend the University of Pennsylvania (I’m proud to say, my alma mater) hosted the annual Penn Relays. It’s an amazingly festive event and truly exciting to see runners and field competitors from all over the world compete at the highest levels. However, there are also races in different age classes and there happens to be a race, get this…for the 80 and over set!  Watch these men and women book down the track for their 100 meter sprint.  Coming in last place, but setting a world record is 100 year old Ida Keeling. Go Ida Go!  How inspiring is she? Watch and see some fit octogenarians, nonagenarians and one super amazing centenarian!!
