With his 1st place finish in the M65 1500 at the 2023 USATF Masters Indoor Championships, David Westenberg (Greater Lowell Road Runners/Wellesley MA) is the USATF-NE Athlete of the Month for March 2023.
David won the M65 1500m USATF Indoor National Championship with a time of 4:59.87. At the same championship, he took silver with a 2:30.46 in the 800m.
These performances capped off a strong indoor season and great performance over multiple terrains in recent months.
Before coming inside in December, he took 2nd place at the USATF National Club XC Championship in San Francisco. Then in an 8-day span, he bettered both the M65 mile record with a 5:10.61 at BU and the 1500m record with a 4:54.18 at the USATF-NE Season Opener. Then in January, he went back outside and won the M65 division at USATF XC National Championships in Richmond VA.
It won’t surprise you that David is also the Masters winner of the 2023 USATF-NE Indoor Points Chase.
Since we’re late with the announcement, we can also note his M65 win at the USATF Masters 10K Road Championship at the James Joyce Ramble in Dedham MA on April 30th.
Congratulations David.
