Meet calendars for USA and international events in 2010

Ken has followed track as an athlete, writer and webmaster since the late 1960s, and saw most sessions of track and field at the 1984 Los Angeles and 1996 Atlanta Olympics. He also attended the 1988, 1992, 2000, 2004 and 2008 Trials, the last two as a blogger.

Ken was born in Detroit in June 1954 but grew up in Orange County, California, and Omaha, Nebraska, where in 1972 he was the top high school hurdler in the city. He was a walk-on hurdler at the University of Kansas for two years. At KU he interviewed mile great Jim Ryun several times and covered his retirement press conference for Track & Field News.

Ken has competed in masters track since 1995, attending 11 outdoor nationals and two WMA world meets (in 1999 and 2009). His marks are top-secret.

After 17 years as a copy editor with The San Diego Union-Tribune, Ken joined the paper's Web site, SignOnSanDiego, in July 2003, and now posts U-T stories online.

A member of Track and Field Writers of America, Ken posted the original Wikipedia article on masters athletics. In June 2009, he won TAFWA's first annual Adam Jacobs Memorial Award for excellence in blogging. He can be reached at TrackCEO@aol.com
