Jim Kennedy excels!
Subject: For Immediate Release - Vallejo Athlete Wins 8 Medals at The Huntsman World Senior Games
In sports, often times extra effort pays off in dividends. That was true for Jim Kennedy from Vallejo, who took home a Gold Medal in the 100 meter Butterfly and 100 meter Breast Stroke Swimming competition. He also won Silver Medals in the 200 meter and 50 meter Breast Stroke, and the 200 meter and 400 meter Individual Medely. Finishing out his experience at the Huntsman World Senior Games Kennedy won a Bronze Medal in the 100 meter Individual Medely and the 200 meter Back Stroke.
When asked about his experience at the games Kennedy said " It was great competing with others from all over the counrty and world. Lessons learned and friendships made cannot be replaced. Swimming with olympians of the past was icing on the cake. Besides momories, I bring back a bag of training tips."
The Huntsman World Senior Games is a world-class, Olympic-format, international sporting event for athletes ages 50 years and older. Founded more than 20 years ago, the Games currently hosts over 9,500 athletes annually. Each October, for two weeks, the event is held in colorful St. George, Utah, less than a two-hour drive from Las Vegas, Nevada. At the 2008 Games, athletes will compete in 25 different sports.
"One of the things that makes this event so unique is that it is more than just a collection of sporting events," says Kyle Case, Huntsman World Senior Games CEO. "The Games is a total experience, so much more than just another sports competition."
Case says the participants enjoy the Parade of Athletes, Opening Ceremonies, Concert and Celebration, Social Events, Banquets and Free Health Screenings, to name only a few of the additional activities that enhance the athletic experience. The Huntsman World Senior Games is truly a celebration of life after 50!
The 2008 Huntsman World Senior Games will host approximately 9,700 participants from all 50 of the United States and 20 foreign countries. The majority of the participants are male – about 66% - and the average age is around 64 years "young." While almost all of the athletes' first trip to the Games was prompted by the athletic competition, by their third year, many of the participants list social aspects such as "meeting new friends" and "renewing acquaintances" as their primary reason for attending the Games.
"We'd like to invite athletes of all skill levels, from the elite to the novice, to experience this amazing event," says Case. "Once you experience the Games, we know you'll have a great time and we'll be seeing you for years to come."
