| Each year USA Track & Field (USATF), the national governing body for track and field, long distance running, and race walking in the US, host regional contests to identify area champions of the sport. Yesterday, at the University of Houston, USATF held the Southwest Region Masters Track & Field Indoor Championships and several BCRR's members and friends made strong showings! Shown above, Allyson Serrao and Milan Jamrich pose with the many medals they earned. To see more images from the event, check out Milan's Sunday post on the club's Facebook page HERE.
