Charlie Ross gets big M90 PR — another world steeple record

Not content to be the oldest human steeplechaser, Charlie Ross broke his own 2,000-meter record over the weekend, clocking 18:27.44 at the USATF Georgia Association Open and Masters Meet. (See results here.) He lowered his previous age-group WR in the 2K steeple of 18:54.10. And here’s a great series of photos from the May 18 debut record. Thanks to Don Burkett for sharing the news!
