Charles Allie
Charles Allie is an American masters athletics sprinter. He has set numerous masters world records in sprint events from 200 to 400 meters.
Allie won high school city athletics championships in Pittsburgh.
He attended Hampton University on a track scholarship and earned Bachelor of Science in industrial arts in 1971, then obtained Master of vocational education from University of Pittsburgh in 1978.
After retiring as an industrial arts middle school teacher, he coaches the Nadia Track Club in Pittsburgh, where he is called "Coach Buddy"
and for which he was a founding member at age 40.
In November 2021, Allie was diagnosed with prostate cancer, and began receiving radiation therapy.
The cancer was detected early, so he was able to return to competition fairly soon, though not in his usual competitive shape: he finished 4th in the M70 60 Meter Dash at the 2022 USATF Masters Indoor Championships on March 18 in Fort Washington Avenue Armory, New York City.
