rizona Senior Olympic athletes won 31 gold, 38 silver and 38 bronze medals at the recent National Senior Games in the Minneapolis area. Congratulations to the 175 athletes who represented Arizona in their blue shirts and white uniforms. They did us proud! The returning athletes had positive comments about the cities, the great competition and the excitement of meeting people from around the United States. By the time you read this, the National Senior Games will be a very happy memory in the minds of attendees, but, for the Senior Olympics movement, it is another step forward in shattering the stereotypes that people older than the age of 50 are “over the hill.”
