Magill sets 3K record at Hayward Masters Classic

Results have been posted for the 25th annual Hayward Masters Classic, which again is one of the deepest masters meets in the country outside nationals. (The M70 discus had 10 entrants!) As expected, just-turned-45 Pete Magill of Southern California took down the M45 American record for 3,000 meters, clocking 8:37.52 to beat the listed age-group mark of 8:56.59 by Chuck Coats in May 2005. Pete also ran the 1500 in 4:07.58 — seven seconds off the AR. Perhaps the best performer, through, was Jim Stookey, 75, who won the 80-meter hurdles in 14.05, the 300 hurdles in 54.76, the high jump in 1.30 (4-3 1/4), the long jump in 4.05 (13-3 1/2) and the triple jump in 8.94 (29-4). (He was just off three of his own M75 American records.)


Also no surprise, Gerald Vaughn clobbered the listed M75 world record in the shot put by throwing 15.02 (49-3 1/2), and Paul Edens had a legal time in the 100-meter dash (12.53) to better the listed M65 world age-group record.
Both may have done better earlier this year, however.

    Don’t forget 47 year old Carmen Ayala-Troncoso’s AR in the 1500m — 4:46!! Humble as usual, she claimed it must have been the spikes! ;-) She had a great double (3k/1500m), too.
