How sad to see such a notable and major athletic achievement by two local athletes buried back on page 4 of the July 12 Sports section. I am referring to the recent accomplishments of Al Erickson of Monroe and Bill Iffrig of Everett, who both placed very high in their respective fields at the World Masters Athletic Championships in Sacramento, Calif. (“Community Roundup: Octogenarian brings home decathlon title.“)
These are very noteworthy accomplishments and deserved front page coverage with a much more detailed story including color pictures. Perhaps one of your reporters could do a follow-up story on these two outstanding athletes. They have competed with athletes from all around the world, and placed very admirably near the top of their sport. They are an inspiration to many, and their achievements deserve better coverage.
