Jeff Laynes pulls a Willie, betters American records in 100 and 200

Jeff Laynes

Jeff Laynes, like Willie Gault, prefers to run with the kidlets. And like his M50 elder, M40 Jeff beats them as well. Yesterday at the CSU Stanislaus Twilight Meet, Jeff lowered the M40 American record in the 100 by clocking an amazing 10.39. Not sure about the wind reading, but this account reports “forceful winds.” See results here. For giggles, he ran the 200 in 21.38, which smashes the listed M40 American record of 21.86 by Bill Collins in 1992. (The listed WR is 20.64 by Holland’s Troy Douglas in 2003.) Who said Friday the 13th is bad luck? We hope Jeff has good fortune with the record-ratifying gods (or rather goddess).

Here’s the results of the 100/200:

    Aiming for 10.35 B standard for outdoor’s
    Probably does not consider himself a masters.

    10.3 might be possible this year. Wonder if that is equal to a 4 minute mile?
