About the Film Racing Against the Clock tells the stories of five incredible women between the ages of 50 and 82 who compete against each other, and ultimately themselves, in their quest to reach the World Masters Athletics Championships in Puerto Rico in June 2003. These women include a three-time cancer survivor, a sharecropper's daughter, a political refugee, a former cowgirl and the oldest athlete to ever be honored as a finalist for the Sullivan Award which celebrates the top amateur athletes in America. Pre-Title IX, these athletes grew up in an era when women did not participate in sports. With some not entering the realm of competition until well after retirement, there is no telling what they may have accomplished had things been different. Vibrant, inspiring and courageous, these women shatter preconceptions about aging and about the human spirit. (Runtime: 80 Minutes)Starring: Jacqueline Board Margaret Hinton Leonore McDaniels Pat Peterson Philippa Raschker Directed and Produced by Bill Haney Edited by Peter Rhodes Co-Producers: Debra Longo, Adam Moyer and Eric Grunebaum Executive Producers: Tim Disney and John MacNeil |
