Paul Shuler, a teacher and coach at Seabreeze High School, broke an age group record and won two gold medals and two ribbons at the Florida Senior Games last month in Pasco County.
Competing in the 55-59 age group, Shuler won gold medals in the 5-kilometer road race at Wesley Chapel District Park on Dec. 9 and the 1,500-meter run in the track and field competition on Dec. 10.
He set a new age group record in the 5K with a time of 18 minutes, 32 seconds. He broke a 25-year-old mark by seven seconds. Richard Quevillon of Sarasota set the previous record of 18:39 in 1998.
Shuler also placed fourth in both the 800-meter and 200-meter runs in the track competition.
Shuler coaches bowling and wrestling at Seabreeze and will also be the distance coach for the track team this spring.
