Nadine O’Connor can run fast and jump high (in the vault). Now we know she can put those two velocities together. At last weekend’s USATF-sanctioned Rocky Mountain Masters Games, Nadine long-jumped 4.55 meters (14-11) to smash Barbara Cleveland’s listed W60 American record of 4.22 by just over a foot. The handsome and debonair Jim Weed graciously sent me results from the two-day meet at Colorado State University in 5,000-foot-high Fort Collins. (But Nadine’s jump was set into a 0.4 mps wind). Also notable was Stacey Price‘s 14.82 in the M50 100-meter hurdles stood out. At Charlotte nationals, he ran 14.89 (into a wind) to take the gold.

Nadine’s 4.55 jump at age 64 corresponds on the WMA Age-Graded Tables to an open leap of 7.099 — or 23-3 1/2. Incredible.
The W60 world record is 4.75 (15-7) by Germany’s Christiane Schmalbruch in 1997. Christiane also holds the W65 world record of 4.64 (15-2 3/4).
Something for Nadine to shoot for next year.
