Joan Benoit Samuelson Track in Freeport Maine was officially opened today
I had the pleasure of attending the dedication of the Joan Benoit Samuelson Track at Freeport High School in Freeport, Maine this afternoon. A well-deserved honor for America’s most loved, respected and admired female marathoner of all time!! And kudos to Nike for donating $1.3 million to help finance the entire project…wow. Hundred’s and thousand’s of young athletes will now be the beneficiary of this display of unselfish goodwill by Joanie, the local track committee and by Nike. We all took a lap around the track together after Joanie “cut the ribbon” to officially open up the facility. Pretty inspiring. (Editor’s note. Joanie won the first women’s Olympic Marathon in 1984. David is the director of the Boston Marathon.) (05/19/2018) Views: 2,066 ⚡AMPby David McGillivray
