100-Year Old World War II Veteran Runs 100M Dash in Penn Relays [WATCH]

Could you run a 100M dash right now?

We probably could. How ‘out of breath’ we are afterwards may be a different story. For people like Lester Wright, it’s just another day. Mr. Wright, at 100 years old, competed in a 100M race in 26 seconds. The World War II Veteran finished 7th out of nine competitors.

Afterwards, a crowd of 38,000 gave him a standing ovation.
