Better with age

AUBURN #- The third time is supposed to be the charm. Not for Francis Pettigrass.

For four straight years Pettigrass has been competing as a runner in the Empire State Senior Games. For the first three years it seemed there was almost always something working against him.

“The first year I went my sons told me I should work out and stretch a lot,” Pettigrass said. “I didn't take them seriously. Even being a senior I didn't think that the senior games were going to be that serious. As soon as my first event started I pulled a muscle and that was it for me.”
