BATON ROUGE - Julia "Hurricane" Hawkins, the capital area's iconic 105-year-old runner, is set to make history on the track once again.
Hawkins is scheduled to participate in the 100-meter race at the Louisiana Senior Games in Hammond. The event will make Hawkins the first U.S. athlete to set a masters track world record in the 105+ age division.
I hope I am that active when I’m 30 years younger than she is now.

Hell, most centenarians, the only run they get is in their underpants

This is cool; I like seeing these stories. There's alot to be said about actually living to that age, when most who get to 100 are simply surviving. There's a difference. If I can live to 100, great. If I'm only surviving, I don't know that I'd want it.

She looks pretty young to be 105 tbh

There are rules, fool.

She only has to run 100 meters. I'm pretty sure I could do that.

I'd like to enter a 100m race.
Was a sprinter in high school, and all I ever see are 5k's, 10k's, halfs, and full marathons.
I think I could handle a few in my age bracket at a 100 m run.
Probably won't be able to at 105.

This makes me feel like a fat lazy mofo.

After 100, you probably don't need any more divisions.

Why would you practice running when you could just carry a gun?

Even more impressive considering all the BR bullets she's dodged over the years.
Posted on 10/28/21 at 1:17 pm to goofball
Psh I'd dust her like Thanos

I've met her several times over the last 15 years or so. I used to work with her daughter. She is a wonderful lady.

"This is just a drop in the bucket," Hawkins, who joined the record books for the Louisiana Senior Olympic Games after she became the oldest American and the first woman in the centenarian age group to run a 100-meter race, told CBS News. With a finishing time of just under 1 minute and 3 seconds, Hawkins described herself as "so happy" for the opportunity, saying she might even do it again.

Were there better looking girls in the Quad in the 1930s?
