Guest danax Posted August 29, 2005 Share Posted August 29, 2005 Seniors running track and field during the summer here? I'm sure the medical staffing will be extensive. The way the air quality's been lately, combined with our usual temps and humidity, it will be good if no athlete keels over during an event.While this will be good for business and possibly for publicity, all we need is one death or someone coughing up blood to add to our already bad reputation.

MontroseNeighborhoodCafe Posted August 30, 2005 Share Posted August 30, 2005 Sorry texasboy, I hadn't noticed you had already posted the article. I also posted the article in the stadium section. Anyway, I think it would be a very interesting sports event to attend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
