M35 Jeff Laynes whips the kiddies at Oregon Invite
Running into headwinds of 3.5 and 1.8 mph, Jeff Laynes, 36, beat the youngsters at yesterday’s Oregon Invitational at 100 and 200 meters. Jeff’s 10.66 and 21.13 are easily the best of his age group in the United States — and probably the world. A week earlier at the Mt. SAC Relays, Jeff ran a slightly wind-aided 10.30 for 100. As far as Jeff is concerned, the only numbers that matter are 10.20 and 10.35, the “A” and “B” qualifying standards for the USATF open nationals, which serve as the IAAF Osaka World Championships trials. He’s guaranteed a spot in the Indy nationals by running 10.20. He’ll have to be top 32 in America with a 10.35 or better.
