Barnwell sweeps 1-2-4 at South American championships
The meet logo recycles that of the 1997 WAVA worlds in Durban, South Africa.

The city of Rosario, Argentina, hosted the 14th South American masters track championships the last week of November, and results are posted here. Kind of ugly presentation, I know. (After clicking on an event, you have to move the horizontal scroll bar at the bottom of the page to the left to bring the results into view.) But we see lots of hard-core competition down there. Val Barnwell of Brooklyn was among a handful of U.S. entrants, and he must have had fun. He won the M50 200 by more than two seconds, clocking 23.92. In the 100, Val ran a wind-aided 11.44 to win. And he completed a Collinsesque sweep by taking the 4 in 56.21. Congrats to the Barnburner, whose 2008 season started indoors and included a 60-meter world record at Clermont-Ferrand, France. You can rest now, Val.
