Earl Fee, Ed Whitlock join in 4×800 world record in Ontario

Duncan Greenshields graciously writes: “Just in case none of the usual suspects have put you in the loop, we had the Ontario Masters Champs at the University of Toronto’s Varsity Stadium this past weekend. Several Ontario, Canadian (including Queen of the Track Karla DelGrande setting 3 Canuck records [100m, 200m and 400m] in her 1st Championships as a W60) and one world championship records were set. On Saturday, M80 Ray Wardle, M83 Bill Thompson, M82 Ed Whitlock and M84 Earl Fee set a new WR in the 4×800 relay. Their 14:24.03 beats the current 16:01. My clubmate Michal Kapral (The Joggler) captured Ed’s final 100m and then the handoff to Earl for the anchor leg.” That’s an average of 3:36 a leg, and other meet results are here. Congrats to all, and welcome to Olathe!

    Was there any mention of Whitlock’s 800 time?

    Sorry, I miscalculated the bull speed. It was only 3:51 per 800m. The record team could
    keep a healthy distance to the bull.
