Masters sprint, hammer take back seat to WR in jump-rope 100

Congrats to Johnny Speed and M65 Larry Hart for exhibition victories in the 100-meter dash and hammer, respectively, at the Mt. SAC Relays on Saturday. Johnny beat fellow M49 Jeff Williams (the Atlanta Olympian) 11.76 to 11.97 — easily the top two M45 times in the nation. A masters hurdle race is listed, but no results are shown. I missed the Relays for only the second time in about 17 years due to a work project for Patch. Too bad I couldn’t also witness a WR for the jump-rope 100. But the race included Olympic silver medalist Lashinda Demus (in the London 400H), who turned 30 in March. W30 record!
