Ed “Mr. Speed” Whitlock lowers own WR in M75 3K
From the Track & Field News message board comes this news: “Ed (Whitlock) did it again . . . breaking his own M75 World Record in the 3000m at Saturday’s Ontario Masters Championships with a stunning 11:17 mark. His ‘old’ record was 11:28, set just after his 75th birthday at the meet last year. The ‘old-old’ record of 12:12 by James Todd is still listed on the WMA site. . . . That’s almost a minute off that mark!” Results of the meet at York University in Toronto have now been posted, and Ed’s time is reported as 11:17.21. Other great marks were turned in by W50 Karla del Grande (8.48 for 60, 27.75 for 200 and 63.67 for 400) and M75 Earl Fee (68.20 for 400 and 2:44.11 for 800).
