London wasn’t the only great meet over the weekend. Toronto WMA regionals had some tight competition, especially in the sprints. And with W75 Carol LaFayette-Boyd in the mix, she’s eligible for WMA Best Athlete consideration for her record-setting season. We also finally saw Olympian Walter Dix run a masters 200. He clocked 21.30 to win M30 by more than a second (after running a 10.33 100 into a stiff wind.) See results here. Meet director Doug “Shaggy” Smith informs me that WMA regionals will return to Toronto in 2019, a year ahead of WMA worlds in the same city. I copy-pasted some of my favorite marks. Note the M50 200 — with seven men going sub-24 in a wind-aided race won by Karnell Vickers in 23.12. At 80, Bob Lida went sub-30 in the 200, with his 29.90 bettering his own AR of 30.80 at LSU nationals. (The WR is 29.54 by Japan’s Hisamitsu Hijiya.) In the 400, Bob ran 72.10, crushing his LSU nationals AR of 73.55. (The WR is 70.01 by the same Japanese gent.) Bob’s 100 was a mere 14.63, just a few clicks off Payton Jordan’s WR of 14.35) The M55 100 was dang close, with Canadian native Dr. Al Tissenbaum, (now Team USA) beating Don McGee 11.83 to 11.86. Did I miss any other records?
