This shot of Dixon Hemphill, 97, crossing the finish line in the M95 (Men 95-99) 200m dash, accompanied by a woman for safety was one of a winning portfolio for Alain Schroeder, from Belgium.
It was taken at the Masters Indoor Championships in New York.
“At 97, it’s hard for him to find anyone to race against in the M95 category,” Schroeder said.
“Hemphill rediscovered athletics in his seventies.
‘I got a medal and thought, well, this is fun. That was 50 years ago, and I’ve been running ever since, he said.”
