Comedown for Roger Kingdom: DNF in match race
Oh well. The highly touted masters hurdle race between two-time Olympic gold medalist Roger Kingdom and M40 world champ David Ashford didn’t produce a race for the ages. Roger, who turns 45 in August, is listed as DNF — did not finish. Ashford, also 44, clocked 14.99 — over the 39-inch masters hurdles. But W40 record-holder Alisa Harvey delivered on the women’s side, winning the 800 in 2:08.47. That’s a few clicks off the 2:08.04 she ran in late March. Another nice mark was turned in my Bob Bowen, a mid-50s sprinter who ran the 100 in 12.10.

The question is what happened to David? He listed a 13.9 at a meet the end of March. That is a whole second from his listed rankings? Well, the season is early and plenty of time to get a fast FAT times listed. Roger, why not come out to Outdoor Nationals and continue the rival? We would all like to see you back in rare form. Hope you injury heals quickly.
