M85 Ed Whitlock notches 2 more WRs at Canadian nationals

Ed at 2007 USA masters nationals.

Ed flows at 2007 Orono masters nationals.

Two weeks ago, M85 distance god Ed Whitlock ran a world-record 5000 meters in 24:03.99 at the Ontario Masters Championships but missed the 1500 WR a few hours later by less than a second. Over the weekend at Canadian nationals (see results), Ed got it easily. He ran the metric mile in a stunning 6:38.23 (age-graded at 3:23.94, or 101.01 percent), beating the listed WR of 6:51.32 by Yoshimitsu Miyauchi in 2009. In the track 10K Friday morning, Ed ran 51:07.53 (age-graded 27:25.74) to lower German Max Raschke’s listed WR of 52:50.80 by a crazy 1 minute, 43 seconds. In a rarity, Marathon Ed lost a race — over 800 meters. But don’t feel bad, since it was Earl Fee winning Sunday afternoon 3:21.36 to 3:27.19. (Earl holds the WR at 3:09.10.) Going into this season, Ed had 17 world track records. He also holds a slew of road WRs.

A bunch of Americans also took part, with M40 Anthony Davis and M55 Allan Tissenbaum winning the 100. And W45 Lisa Daley won the 400 hurdles in 1:08.73 — a month after claiming the USATF title in 1:08.24.

In women’s sprints, Wendy Alexis upset WR woman Karla Del Grande in the W60 100 and 200. And 74-year-old Carol LaFayette-Boyd had crazy fast times as well.

Here are the top age-graded marks from the Toronto Track & Field Centre:
