People Who Inspire Us: The Pole-Vaulting Grandma

Every so often, we come across a story that inspires us and we think you might enjoy as well. Such is the case with this CNN article about Flo Meiler, a 79-year-old track star who is also a grandmother of five and great-grandmother of two.

Meiler holds a total of 15 world records and 12 U.S. records in pole vault, 60-meter hurdles, 4 x 100 meter relay, steeplechase, discus, 200-meter hurdles and hammer throw. This is even more impressive when you take into account that Meiler didn't take up track and field until she was 60 and pole vaulting when she was 65.
