Krulee, Barnum: men among boys at Nampa indoor meet

California M50 Marty Krulee and Nevada M60 Larry Barnum raced high school boys Saturday at the United Heritage Invitational in Nampa, Idaho, site of the 2005 masters indoor nationals. Both were world champions at Riccione last summer, so I feel sorry for the youngsters whose spirits were crushed and egos traumatized. Marty, 51, won Heat 4 of the 60 in 7.33 seconds, the fastest M50 time of the year and close to Bill Collins’ world record of 7.20. Larry, 64, ran 200 in 27.38 and 400 in 61.46. George Mathews, 64, was the only entrant in the “boys weight throw.” His mark was 19.57 (64-2 1/2). The listed M65 world record with the 20-pound implement is 19.12 (62-8 3/4). Hang on, George!

    Joy Upshaw-Margerum ran the 60 and 200 there, too, with her daughter Sunny hot on her heels! Nice!

    Note also the 2006 USATF M45-49 Decathlon Champion, Mark Murdock, in the 60m and 200m results
