80-year-old El Centro man goes for the gold

JOSELITO VILLERO PHOTO FROM LEFT: Arnold Ray, 80, talks about the four first-place medals the won during the 22nd annual San Diego Senior Olympic Games Sept. 12 in San Diego. Displayed on the table are Ray’s medals. Ray’s daughter, Brenda, stands in front of a photo of her as a child.
For Arnold Ray, running is life.
An alumnus of Brawley Union High School, Ray competed and excelled in the track events and would later go on to similar fanfare as part of an eight-man squad for El Centro Junior College.
Most recently, he won four gold medals in the long jump and sprinting events of 50, 100 and 200 meters at the Senior Olympics at Point Loma Nazarene University in San Diego. What makes this so special, you ask?
It could be because Arnold Ray is 80 years old.
Where most people his age are getting around by walker and motorized golf cart, maybe even by wheelchair, Ray has no problem making it to an aerobics class, not every once in awhile, but routinely. He works out five nights a week, Sunday through Wednesday, with a day off on Thursday, then back on Friday, with Saturday to recuperate.

Fun and challenges are found during Senior Olympic events
Ron Joy and and Janet Battey danced in the Senior Olympics in El Cajon. (Eduardo Contreras / Union-Tribune)Takeo and Mariko Sakakibara barely got back to their seats before the couple's names were called to receive another gold medal during the ballroom dance competition of the 22nd annual Senior Olympics yesterday.
After a four-year hiatus, ballroom dancing returned to the Senior Olympics — albeit with sparse participation — at the Cottonwood Golf Club. Four couples from the Fred Astaire Dance Studio competed in the ballroom competition.
For about two hours, the Sakakibaras and three other couples glided from one corner of the dance floor to the other using techniques that they have been perfecting in dance classes.
