Eurovets statmeister counts 19 ‘world records’ at meet
In late July, the Eurovets held their biennial championships. Ivar Soderlind of Sweden has now filed a report on the records set at the meet in Ljubljana, Slovenia. Click here for his summary of records. But take the list with a grain of salt. Some of the marks he cites, including Howard Moscrop’s 400-meter hurdles time of 56.85 on Day 4, fall short of marks set earlier in the season. Howard ran 56.56 at the British masters championships several weeks before the Eurovets. But I give Ivar credit for trying to summarize the meet’s achievements. Where is the Spokane compilation?

You are right, we need to check on the marks, not everybody is as informed as the we are.

It is great to get some marks from overseas.

Yes, I would agree it would be helpful to have a list of peformances at the 2008 Spokane National Meet that exceed the current US/World records (without implying that they automatically become records without completion of the paperwork).
It would also be great if masters USATF would produce a National Championship meet record list like they have done for the indoor National Championships. If you can’t break a US/World record, it would still be an accomplishment to break an outdoor Championship meet record.
