Jamaica’s McFarlane is new WR man for 400 hurdles

I overlooked this one. Danny McFarlane, whose all-time best in the 400 hurdles is 48.00 from 2004, nipped the M35 world age-group record in the event at the adidas meet in Carson, California, a week ago. Danny turned 35 three months ago, and his 48.83 for fifth place on May 20 ranks him as No. 8 in the world. The listed M35 world record is 48.93 by American Nat Page in 1992. “Based on how practice is going right now, I’m definitely in 2004 shape,” Danny was quoted as saying a couple weeks ago. He’s pointing for IAAF Osaka worlds. Go Danny!
