Imagine having a 4x track and field Olympian at home who inspires you every day! Well, An American phenom is fortunately living that reality. The countless stories and an enormous medal collection at home are probably the 22-year-old sprinter’s reminder that if her mother kept running till 40, why can’t she? Today, it’s time to take that inspiration a notch higher. Because the mommy sprinter is back to the running tracks after a long hiatus of nearly 25 years, and the daughter cannot help but beam with joy!
We’re talking about none other than the athletic mother-daughter duo, Talitha Diggs and Joetta Clark Diggs. The latter is currently 62 but evidently her age isn’t slowing her down. On February 24, Talitha Diggs added a post applauding her mother Joetta for her comeback victory at the 2025 USATF Masters Indoor Championships. Joetta Diggs ran a 200m in 28.62 seconds, etching a new American record in the 60-64 women’s age category at the event. And Talitha naturally could not kept calm! “MY MOM IS AMAZING…” she flexed her mother’s extraordinary feat and suggested that there couldn’t have been a better race where she watched her mom run for the first time!
