Doug Smith in Canada reports 12 Canadian masters age-group records were set at the British Columbia masters championships recently in Surrey. Harold Morioka passed along the results to Doug, in Ontario, even though one of his own M55 sprint records was trumped (at another meet). And on an unrelated note here’s a corrected link to Chuck McMahon Memorial Masters meet June 30 in San Marcos, California. And just in case you didn’t hear, the USATF West Regional Masters Championships will be July 12-13, also at Cal State San Marcos. The West Region meet had previously been advertised for the following weekend.
