M70 foursome aims to bury world record for indoor 4×2
The Armory track in Manhattan may see yet another masters world record this season — but this time in a sprint relay. My masters moles inform me that four 70-year-olds will team for a 4×200 on Saturday, March 3: Bob Lida of Kansas, Rich Rizzo of New York, Larry Colbert of Maryland and Dick Camp of Massachusetts. My source says: “The . . . team should be able to run 28.5 a man for 200 meters so there is an excellent chance of achieving our goal . We have been training for months for this opportunity. So we are all looking foward to (March 3) with much anticipation.” Three of the four run for New York-based Sprint Force America TC with Dick Camp from another club. “So if we do get the record it will be listed as U.S.A. W.R.” The listed WMA world indoor record for the 800-meter relay is 1:58.71 by a German team at the 2004 Sindelfingen WMA world indoor championships.
