Julia Hawkins is not just the talk of the track and field world, but the world in general. She recently won the 100-meter dash at the USA Track and Field Masters Championships, setting a new world record. At 101 years old, she took 6 seconds off the world record in the 100-meter in the women’s 100-104 age group and in the process, also became the oldest competitor in USA Track and Field history.

She explains why she started running and entering competitions at the age of 100. Plus, find out how she got her nickname Hurricane.

Get inspired by this Rock Star of Aging® and start planning how you’ll still be active and engaged for your entire life.
