My name is Oscar Peyton. I am a member of USA Track and Field Masters and the National Senior Games Association. Masters Track and NSGA athletes compete in five year age groups. The National Games are held during odd years (2009, 2011, 2013, etc.).  To participate in the National Games, you must first qualify through a NSGA State Games during the even years (2010, 2012, 2014, etc.).  Participants must be at least 50 years old during the qualifying year.  I compete in about six Masters events each year including the USATF National Masters Outdoor Championships.  Below is a compilation of my past achievements in Masters Track & Field and the NSGA since I started competing back in 2003.
