Nicknamed “Superman” by his track teammates, Bill Collins ’75 really is faster than a speeding bullet. Speeding bullets over the age of 50, that is. Collins holds world records for age 50 and up in the 100 meters, 200 meters and indoor 60 meters. He has also taken titles at seven world masters track meets for runners 40 and up. In July, at the 2003 World Masters Track and Field Championships in Carolina, Puerto Rico, Collins defended his titles in the age 50-to-54 100 and 200 meters by healthy margins. “The 2003 season was one of my best in a few years,” he said, proud to have broken five world records at the age of 52. He is on the list of athletes being considered for induction into the Masters Hall of Fame for USA track and field. Collins can be found on the the Rice University track three days a week with teammates from the Houston Elite Track Club (which he coaches on a voluntary basis). When he’s not training, Collins lives in Missouri City. He works as a speed consultant for the Texas Southern University football program and an adviser for athletes in a variety of sports.
