Google Docs show status of American record applications in 2015
(See it here.) And the other is for everything else. (See it here.) Reason for two lists? Jeff explains: “Any USATF athlete may submit a record application subsequent to a record setting performance. For American Records, forms do NOT need to be submitted for the following competitions: USATF National Masters OR Open Track and Field Championships, NCCWMA Masters Championships, WMA World Masters Championships.” Additional pre-2015 marks are being listed here — 13 so far. Jeff also updated his records page portal. But runners, make sure your meet starter has done a Zero Control Test with the pistol. Renee Shepherd’s potential W50 world record for 60 (8.02 seconds) was rejected for lack of the ZCT.
It’s only April, and guess how many marks have been submitted for American record review? Two dozen? Forty? Sixty? All wrong. Try 72 as of Friday. Jeff Brower as USATF Masters T&F Records Committee chair is keeping his Google Docs busy. He’s created two lists of submitted marks for 2015 — one is for everything at Winston-Salem indoor nationals.

Ken – do you know why the M75 4 x 200 and 4 x 400 relays from Winston-Salem Indoor Nationals are not on the list of those submitted for review as American records?

Let’s just hope the third time was a charm. I ran under the W50 60m listed World Record for the third time at the NY Open and Masters Championships. This meet actually conducted a zero control test and was kind enough to print a copy for me.

Just Google USATF Masters American Records
It appears that the 4 x 200 is not listed on Masters Outdoor and not listed on the Masters Indoor American record lists.

4 x 200 is not listed at
http://www.usatf.org/statistics/records/masters_outdoorTF.asp
But listed under some of the age specifoc groups. Possibly the page linked above needs to add another linked page for 4 x 200.

The 4×200 Indoors is an “exhibition” race and not recognized as record eligible. The WMA appears to recognize it indoors but not outdoors.
