Val Barnwell, 49, may be the oldest in his age group when he lines up for the M45 finals in Riccione this September, but he’s a good shot to return to the winner’s podium at worlds. Saturday in New York, he won the 100 at the Metropolitan USATF Association masters championships in 11.14 (unsure of the wind reading). The top M45 sprinter in the world, of course, is Willie Gault (who has a 10.88 this year). But Willie isn’t on Yeam USA’s Riccione entry list. Sigh.

In other events, M50 sprinters Archie Glaspy and Frank Schiro had great battles, with Archie winning the 2 and 4 (24.84 to 24.90, and 55.79 to 56.41). Also, Oneithea “Neni” Lewis is back throwing. She won the W45 shot with a 12.20 toss (just over 40 feet). She’s battling a serious illness.
