Ida Keeling: Record Breaker
In 2012, 97-year old Ida Keeling
set a record for the 100 Meter Sprint at the
USA Track and Field Eastern Regional Open Championships. She finished
the race at 51.85 seconds, beating the previous record of 59.9 seconds
for the 90 and over age category. Keeling took up running at age 67
after several personal tragedies in her life, including the death of her
husband and two of her sons.
