Masters mile mania! Historic year seen for many ages
Pick an age group. Any age group. Starting in May, when Jim Sorensen turns 40, masters mile records in many groups will be under assault. A preview comes Friday, when Jim runs a 1500 at Mt. SAC. But the big record attempts — in at least two age groups — will be May 12 at the Fountain of Youth Masters Mile in Canby, Oregon.
Here’s the lineup so far for the Canby meet:
Pete Magill 46 Pasadena, CA Team Runners High 4:18.11c
Tony Young 45 Redmond, WA Club NW 4:20.72
Chris Yorges 41 Eugene, OR FIBO 4:30.74c
Kevin Paulk 46 Portland, OR BAC 4:31.33c
Joe Dudman 42 Portland, OR Red Lizards 4:34.5h
Bob Prather 51 Oak Harbor, WA Club NW 4:35.50c
Mark Alexander 42 Seattle, WA Seattle Frontrunners 4:39.06c
Richard Burns 52 Lancaster, CA Team Runners High 4:39.12c
Nolan Shaheed 57 Pasadena, CA So Cal Fleet Feet 4:42.35c
David Cannon 50 Seattle, WA Club NW
Steve Gallegos 52 Boulder, CO Boulder Road Runners 4:44.95
Craig Rice 36 Portland, OR OCC
Henry Rono 55 Albuquerque, NM
The ones to watch are Young, Magill, Shaheed and Rono.
Henry won’t beat Nolan, but it’ll be a blast to watch.
Add W40 Alisa Harvey and a handful of women in their 50s and 60s, and you have potential records galore. Whattayear!

At mt Sac, look who has the 1500meet record. Pyrah ran fairly fast as a 35 year old
