Former Junior Olympian and college football player Tim McMahon has been a masters track athlete since age 32, having competed nationwide in sprints, hurdles, long jump, and decathlon. He recently expanded his athletic pursuits by competing in masters swimming for the first time at the Huntsman World Senior Games. Just three years ago, Tim was diagnosed with stage-3 lymphoma, and he also underwent a total knee replacement last year at the age of 65. However, this New Jersey decathlete, ocean lifeguard, and lifelong competitor continues to shine bright. Now in remission and cleared to sprint again, he’s rebuilding strength, working through residual neuropathy, and training to return to world-class form.
