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.

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.

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