For Julia “Hurricane” Hawkins, no amount of years can stop her from running to international stardom. At 105-years-old, Hawkins became the first female track and field athlete and first American to set a world record in the 100-meter dash for her age group (105+ division) at the 2021 Louisiana Senior Games competition on Saturday, according to the National Senior Games Association. With a fresh flower in her hair and a crowd of cheering loved ones surrounding her, the track star completed the 100 meters with a time of 1:02:95. "The older you get, the more passions you ought to have... Keeping active is one of my most important passions," Hawkins told USA TODAY on Wednesday. "I keep thinking, 'Why am I left here?' Why haven't I been called by now?'" she continued. "People say that they want to be just like me when they grow up... And I think if I can please people and give them hope, then it's worth living longer." Tap our link in bio to read more about this legend! ⚡ 📷: Brit Huckabay, National Senior Games
