Sprinters fight fierce headwinds at Pacific Association meet

With strong headwinds in the sprints and great tailwinds in the jumps, the Pacific Association Masters Championships was a mixed bag Saturday in Folsom, California. Results are posted here.  But the studs all delivered, with perhaps the best mark of the day being the 11.95 by M50 Marty Krulee in the 100 — into a 1.5 mps wind. Marty, the defending M50 world champion, beat comebacking Kevin Morning (12.12) and Byron Duhon (12.4). Byron ambien zolpidem had a headwind in his 14.48 short hurdles race as well.

Marty, shown at Folsom, doesn’t know the meaning of cialis price headwind.


Other highlights include M45 vaulter Paul Sinatra clearing 4.45 (14-7 1/4) and M45 high jumper Thomas VanZandt going 1.85 (6-0 3/4). In the throws, Olympian Ed Burke spun the 5KG hammer 51.67 (169-6), short of his own M65 WR of 55.74 (182-10). But Ed is 69, and next year he throws the 4KG hammer. Bob Ward’s M70 WR of 53.12 is toast. I’ve also posted results from the June 6 Mid-America USATF masters meet in Chester, Pennsylvania, which featured the 11.66/23.53 sprint double by Oscar Peyton.

And here’s a great shot of Richard Holmes (left) and Rod Jett (both 42) battling in the 110 hurdles. Rod nipped Richard, 15.36 to 15.40, running into a 2.1 mps wind! (Joy Upshaw-Margerum, the meet director, took both shots here. Great work, Joy!)
