Kathy Bergen, USA - W85

My husband, Bert, and I joined Senior Olympics Track & Field in 1994. 1st meet was at Occidental College. There we learned about Masters Track. I started out with the shorts sprints and added the 200m, high jump, discus and javelin through the years. I was elected to the Masters Hall of Fame in 2008. I have broken 15 World Records and 3 American Records since 1996. As of 2018 I still hold 8 World Records in W70-79 age group in sprints, high jump. In 2015 I was named Female Masters Athlete of the Year. Currently my husband and I coach a local high school`s high jumpers. We are in our 7th year. We also officiate at the Arcadia Invitationals every year.
