3 Oregon Track Club Masters SEPTEMBER 2017 Obstetrician Beller Delivers Fast Sprints Interview by Don McLean Byrke O. Beller, 49, is a dedicated obstetrician, husband, father of two girls, and outstanding sprinter. At age 47, he ran an 11.5 100m, age-graded at 91.65% to earn the OTC Masters’ overall Track Performance of the Year Award. This year he has run a 25.87 in the 200m, and a 57.58 in the 400m. He also runs an occasional 5K. 1. You were a gifted track athlete in your youth, you then gave it up. Why, and why/when did you return to track? I got burned out. I started running at age 7 and by age 15 had been running competitively for 8 years. Also, I was really skinny and about that time I got very interested in girls. I noticed they seemed to be more interested in the football players … so that was it! I started lifting weights and eating a lot. In the 10 grade I was 5’10” and 140 lbs and by 12th grade 6’3” and 190 lbs. And I had a girlfriend.

Advice to your younger self at 20 years? Spend at least one season on the track team at your peak of physical being. 8. Quotes you live by, or quote often? “It’s always something!” 9. What does your morning and daily routine look like? Coffee, newspaper, work, workout over lunch, home for family time. 10. In your recent years, what has become more important and less important?
