M80 superstar Tony Bowman was on fire over the weekend at British masters nationals, setting a world record in the 60-meter hurdles at 10.86. (The listed WR is American Mel Larsen’s 11.10 from 2005.) Tony also won the 60, 200 and 400, says Athletics Weekly, which added: “In her debut in the age group, Lucy Elliott won the W50 800m, 1500m and 3000m and came close to Clare Elms’ world record in the 1500m. Former British senior international John Watts set a British M80 shot put record of 11.27m (36-11 3/4). While her son Harley was winning the Inter Counties under-13 title, Di Norman won the W40 400m, 800m, long jump and shot titles.” Our fotog friend Tom Phillips shot the meet and also won his first-ever BMAF title at 60 at Lee Valley, defeating former European Cup 200 winner Chris Monk. Good on you, Tom! (Now would someone please post link to results?)

    The hurdle result seems a bit suspect. 60 meter hurdles in 10.86, when he ran the 60 meter dash in 11.92, according to the results found in response number 1 above.
