Willie Gault records emerge in SCA meet results
Andy Hecker had a heck of a time running the Southern California Association USATF Masters Championships on June 11. That extended to determining final results. He first posted an incomplete set. Later he reviewed some phototimer shots and added further details. So finally we can celebrate 44-year-old Willie Gault’s incredible day: a wind-aided 10.60 for 100, a legal 21.80 for 200 (an American M40 record) and a 41.4 hand-time 4×100 relay (under the listed world record). We’re still awaiting word on his time in the 110 hurdles (with a just-legal 2.0 mps wind). Andy seeks help identifying folks in finish shots he’s posted.

I had the opportunity to run against Willie Gault when he was a fresman at UT, I was a SR. at IU. Willie is a tribute to our sport, he is and always has been a great competitor. If I could run a 22.23 hand 200 at age 47 last year, there is no doubt Willie can and did run the times he did last week. By the way, Willie beat me at UT in 1980 in the 100 and 200. Congrats to all the masters who are still running great!
