Varsano's introduces newest Boy of Chocolate
New York -- Varsano's Chocolates Racewalking has announced the addition of
Ian Whatley, 46, to their USATF Racewalking Grand Prix-leading racing team.
Whatley, currently homeless, meshes perfectly with the Varsano's philosophy of
"age before athleticism." As are all Varsano's team members, Whatley is a
former USA World Cup Team member from way back when, having raced in the red
white and blue in Monterrey, Mexico in 1993. Ironically, "Doc" Whatley--a
former
British citizen--also competed for Team USA at the USA vs. Great Britain
indoor dual meet in 1993.
Marc Varsano, namesake and inspirational brainchild behind VCR and a '93
World Cup teammate of Whatley feels that Ian and VCR are a perfect fit:
"Whatley? I thought I was old. The guy's barely on the south side of half a
century
but he's still hammerin'. But cute as a button. I'd like to dip him in some
milk chocolate."
Coming off their first-place team title at the USATF 40K this past weekend,
next up for the ubiquitous washed up has-beens of VCR is the USATF 5K
Championship in Kingsport, TN where Whatley will make his debut for the squad.
