All-time masters bests for 100 posted, with some flaws
The amazement continues. Martin Gasselsberger’s latest monumental work is a list of all-time bests in the men’s 100-meter dash up through M85. Martin’s mastersathletics.net is setting the pace for masters stats. The list isn’t perfect (it omits a recent 10.60 by M40 Aaron Thigpen and the sensational 10.16 by M35 Jeff Laynes). And he doesn’t mention M90, M95 and M95 marks at all. But he’s trying hard to get his arms around the beast of age-group bests. He also lists wind-aided marks — becuz they’re fascinating!
Interestingly, Martin accepts the 11.99 run by M65 Paul Edens in June 2006 in Gresham, Oregon — which I wrote about back then but wasn’t sure of. (Later at Charlotte I asked Paul himself about the 11.99, which demolished the listed world age-group record at the time. He said it was legit. But the record is now listed as 12.53 — by Edens at Eugene a couple weeks later.)
Spot any other anomalies? Lemme know.
