Running a 100-meter race at 105 years old is no ordinary feat, but for Julia Hawkins, the record-setting race was one of her many achievements.
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. "This is just a drop in the bucket": At 105 years old, Julia Hawkins became the first woman and first American in her age group to run 100 meters.But she says it doesn't compare to the many wonderful things in her life, like her 70-year-long marriage to her husband, Murray. pic.twitter.com/Z18rWKEm5Y
"Yeah, right now," she joked to a group of reporters after the event, wearing her first-place medal. "[At 106], maybe so. Who knows? I'll have to see how I feel in the morning." (She turns 106 in February.)
