Brown, Daley, Edwards win national titles at masters championships in Iowa
Peter Brady
I must admit that I am a little disappointed with my performance in Ames. I was training and racing very well, but I developed an injury about 3 weeks prior to the meet that prevented me from training properly in the weeks leading up to the race. That being said, injuries are something that masters runners have to deal with, so it's not an excuse. I have to give Mark (Williams) credit for racing incredibly well this past weekend. Believe it or not, this is the first time Mark has beaten me in the 800 at nationals. I beat Mark to win the event in 2013, 2014, 2015 and 2016 (in 2017 we were in different age groups since I'm a year older than Mark). I knew it would be a tall order to beat Mark this year in the 800 because he was running really well and I wasn't quite at my best. But I was really surprised and impressed that he also beat me in the 1500. Prior to this meet, Mark hadn't run a fast 1500/mile in a few years, including this season, where I believe he ran 4:26 in his only other race. I thought if I pushed the pace Mark wouldn't have the endurance to stay with me in the 1500, but he stayed right behind me for 1350 meters and then pulled away from me over the last 150m. I just have to tip my cap to him for running so well on Sunday. I look forward to taking a little time off now to let this injury recover and then I will use my disappointment as motivation to come back strong during indoor track season, where the national meet is on my home turf at the Armory and I will be a newcomer to the M50 age group.

The National championship in Ames was very organized and well run. I have no complaints and am very grateful to the LOC for putting together great National championship in such a short time. The last 18 months was challenging for everyone, and all I wanted to do was go out compete and reconnect with my Masters track pals that I had not seen in almost two years. While my competition times were not stellar and I did not always execute as planned, I am pleased with my performances and that I won two golds in my individual events.
