Flo Meiler: A Track and Field Star at Age 89

Some grandmothers stay sharp by playing piano, or ping-pong, or excelling at the crossword. But have you heard of a great-grandmother who pole-vaults? Well, that’s just one of the many skills Flo Meiler has… and it’s time you met her. ABC 22 and Fox 44. Aired October 29, 2023.

My wife just told me about Flo. I am 60 and was dragging my butt to workout today. I have no excuses....Great story. Great encouragement.

Im 61. Maybe I should take up something!

[@postwarmage2839]

Definitely never too late !! We have just been conditioned to believe that when we hit a certain number we must be “over the hill.” .. and that’s just nonsense.

My mom is 64 and is very strong!! Lifts weights

What I admire is your motivation: to inspire others.

1500 meters is just short of a mile. Most middle-distance runners don't throw the discus, shotput, sprint (competitively). Flo "miler" Meiler
