I want to congratulate Matt Boyles.
The former All American runner at Rio Grande University in Ohio has picked up $13,000 in prize money during the month of February for walking.
Yup, that's right - Olympic Style Race Walking.
Matt, just 25 years of age, picked up $13,000 in prize money during the month of February by finishing second in the 2008 50k Olympic Trials and then come back in 2 weeks to win the USA Indoor T&F Championships in the 5,000m race walk.
Not a bad way to go about financing your dream of becoming an Olympian!
So if you have the dream of becoming an Olympian, and if you have some talent as a runner and you want to make some bucks in an event where the African runners aren't going around picking up all the chump change prize money at all the local road races then check out this special USATF program...
