Matt's Results/Press
   
 


Can you say "self-indulgent"?  My apologies for this page, but I have all this stuff and some of it is kind of interesting so I thought I would post it.


Matt competed mostly before the internet took off, so there aren't any meet results online for when he was competing as an open athlete.  After taking nearly a decade off of the event, Matt is attempting a "comeback" as a masters athlete.  It will be hard to settle for lower, more reasonable, age-appropriate goals, but here is where you can track Matt's progress in those meets.

I'm not much of a newspaper clipper, but I've got a few clips laying around that people gave me.  There are a few interesting articles here...

1991 Iowa Games TV spot.  Kind of a funny spotlight piece.  The editing job didn't make me look like the sharpest tool in the shed but it was a learning experience.... Say something dumb in an interview and they'll put it in the final edit.
