Meet an “Amazing” Who Runs Like – Well, a Hurricane!
Julia "Hurricane" Hawkins, 101, runs the 100 meter dash in 40.12 seconds.

Julia "Hurricane" Hawkins, age 101, is the oldest female athlete ever to compete in the USA Track and Field Outdoors Masters Championships. Not only that, she ran the 100 meter dash in 40.12 seconds, which may indeed be a world record for women aged 100 or older. Bet you didn’t know there even was such a record
Julia, who’s usually on her bicycle, only began running track and field at 100. She attributes her speed to how she has to zip from her favorite hobby--gardening--to her house whenever the phone rings. Hmm…maybe landlines have a benefit after all!
