Stacy Dragila is master at last, claims W35 record
Stacy Dragila turned 35 in March 2006 but didn’t compete last year due to injury. Watch out, folks. She’s baaaacccccck! Last Saturday, Stacy vaulted 4.30 (14-1 1/4) in Provo, Utah. That betters the listed W35 WR of 4.22 by Romania’s Gabriella Mihalcea in 1999. The listed W35 American record is 3.53 (11-7) by Sue DiMarco in 1998. This weekend, Stacy is entered in the Modesto Relays, which also is letting masters studs Jeff Laynes (100/200) and Aaron Thigpen (100) compete in the invitational sprints, according to this updated event field. But long jumper Mike Powell isn’t listed. Mike is targeting the M40 world record in the long jump. Probably at a German meet this summer, he informed the IAAF recently.
