Abstract:
Asheboro’s Juanita Brookover is a North Carolina record holder in five track and field events, a national record holder in two, and she set all these records less than four years into her competitive career. Brookover also set national records in the javelin throw, shot put, and discus at the 2001 National Senior Games. As a five-foot tall, eighty-seven-year-old cancer survivor, Brookover tells her story to encourage other seniors to try something new.
