Anselm tops the charts again.
submitted a
seed time of 1:59.9 for the 8 at
Tuesday’s twilight meet at Randalls Island, New York, and it wasn’t a crazy stretch for a 56-year-old. In a Facebook posting that included a photo of the results board, we see Anselm ran 2:02.16 for his sixth world age-group record this year. The listed WR is 2:03.7 by South Africa’s
Stan Immelman in 2001. Results
should be here eventually. M40 national champ

Went out around 58 for the first 400 and led until about 150 to go when Anselm LeBourne passed me on the way to setting the 55-59 age group world record. It’s never fun to fade and get passed towards the end of a race, but at least I was passed by a great runner who did something historic.” On the Age-Graded Tables, a 2:02.16 is worth an open time of 1:41.03! The real world record, of course,
is the incredible 1:40.91 by Kenya’s
David Rudisha.
