Fresh links to results, photos, cross-dressers from UK
Allan Williams of Blackheath and Bromley AC is an outstanding M50 pole vaulter. His teammate Tom Phillips says Allan recently returned from knee surgery and is jumping well. But when I spotted his picture in Tom's latest masters shots of UK indoor nationals, I was curious about his USATF top. (That's our cross-dresser du jour.)
Not to worry. Allan isn't defecting.
"Always seems to wear the USA strip," Tom writes, "though strictly speaking, (it's) against the rules of the competition, which demands club gear."
Nice to see rebels with a cause across the Pond. (But I wish it were a sign that USA athletes could compete as guests at BMAF nationals. We let them compete here, ya know.)
Also, I've received these links to results of last weekend's USATF Eastern Regional Masters Indoor Championships in Maryland (site of the 2009 masters indoor nationals) and the SoCal Indoor Masters Championships Outdoors in Santa Ana. Some rain fell, but a good indoor time was had by all outdoors.
Here's a Saturday set of BMAF photos and a Sunday set, all by Mr. Tom. Bloody good show!
Comments
Lots of guests at the Brits. Canada, Ireland, Latvia and the USA all had guests on the meet programme, and your man Tom Thorne even won two M60 titles.
