Jerry Lowery, at 81, received an All American Masters Track and Field Certificate for his shot put throw of 33 feet, 3 1/2 inches. Jerry, who trains rigorously on an exercise bike and lifts weights in order to be a successful shot putter, took up the sport at 37. Self taught, he honed his skills by watching videos and eventually Intent tutorials.

After a three-year stint in the Armed Forces, Jerry earned his accounting degree, married, had three children, and after retirement worked as a pastor for a number of years. He still conducts Bible study classes twice a week. Jerry is a firm believer in the value of exercise, and is already looking forward to another Masters Certificate next year.
