The South Lincoln Track Club is organizing a 50th Anniversary event to commemorate the South Lincoln Track Club and its founder, Jerry McGinn. Jerry started the club in 1967 for his two daughters, but it blossomed into a phenomenon that would later be referred to as THE GREEN MACHINE, and it's been running ever since.
Over 65,000 Nebraska youths have gone through the program, making it the longest-running youth club in history. In addition, it's the most decorated, with over 19 national championship team titles, 1 world record and numerous junior Olympians.
