Siddons Games results repaired; M50 hurdle mark amazing
After several complaints, and the intervention of top officials at Santa Ana College, meet director Miriam Mitzel has issued this new set of results from the April 5 Al Siddons Games. Some question marks remain, but she promised to fix these as well. Miriam wrote an entrant: “I would like to apologize for the results again. I know how important results are for all athletes.” One of the marks I overlooked at first was an amazing M50 short hurdles race. Byron J. Duhon, 50, ran the 100 hurdles in 14.10 seconds — one of the greatest performances of the past decade. The winning time in this event at 2007 Riccione worlds was 14.61, and the world record is the legendary Walt Butler’s 13.57 from 1991. B.J. also ran the 100 in 12.16 at Santa Ana. Nice work.

I was in Lane 7 of the W100m at the Al Siddons meet and I had my fastest time in 2 years with a 14.73 sec. How do I get them to record this properly?

How about the results for the mens and womens 1500 meters?

Way to go BJ!
BJ also ran a very quick time at Mater Dei,
Santa Ana, CA earlier in the year for the
60 meter hurdles (outdoor).
Only 2 or 3 have ever run under 14 for M50s.

Congratulations, BJ. I saw Walt Butler run in his prime and he was something to behold. You obviously are now getting into that same conversation.

Jai Black is listed as running 200 in 35.60. That’s probably a typo. More likely 25.60.
