Christine Müller zaps own world record in W50 short hurdles
Europe must be track and field heaven. Latest proof is a meet they held in Basel, Switzerland, a week ago. Sprints and hurdles only. All age groups. Odds distances — including 60 meters, 150 and 300. And it was outdoors with some kind of IAAF connection! No wonder that 2008 IAAF Masters Athlete of the Year Christine Müller of Switzerland was so jazzed that she lowered her own world age-group record in the 80-meter hurdles. W50 Christine ran the short hurdles in 12.18, bettering her listed WR of 12.23 from last year. Imagine Eugene hosting a Hürden- und Sprintmeeting like Basel’s — where anyone could run.

The results also show open 200 & 300 meter hurdle races as well . . . it appears that the masters men skipped those events in 2008 & 2009 . . . too bad. -Jeff
