Derrick Atkins, 23, ran the 100 in 9.98 Saturday at the Cal Collegiate Challenge in Berkeley — the first sub-10 of the season worldwide. But little-noticed in second place was 36-year-old Jeff Laynes of Oakland. With a 2.0 mps wind (the maximum allowable for a legal time), Jeff clocked 10.16 — which now ranks tied for eighth on the IAAF seasonal world list! Jeff also ran the deuce in 21.20. Noteworthy in the 110 hurdles was former Cal hurdler Peter Grimes, now 48ish, who ran the 39-inch barriers in a legal 15.37. Peter is the father of Cal sophomore Tifani Grimes, who also ran the hurdles over the weekend. Like father, like daughter.

Peter’s 15.37 appears to be a world single-age record. Not sure if he’s turned 48 yet, but the age-47 and age-48 world records (according to Pete Mundle’s Masters Age Records) are both 15.4.
But back to Jeff Laynes:
His 10.16 is faster than his 2006 season best of 10.17 at Modesto, which I pointed out at the time crushed the M35 USATF record of 10.3 (now 27 years old). So will 10.16 eventually get record ratification?
Fat chance under the current regime.
BTW, this story says Derrick Atkins is a cousin of WR holder Asafa Powell.
