Monster challenge: Eurovets building Top 10 lists in all age groups
Masters stat dudes in Europe are tackling a major chore — preparing all-time top 10 lists in each age group. Many events are missing, but they’re trying to do for Europe what mastersathletics.net heoically tried to do for the world. The Eurovets site details the efforts and urges folks to share their marks. “The idea of creating a table of the ’10 European Best Masters ever started in 2004,” we learn. “It was Ton Peters from the Netherlands who asked statisticians in Europe to send him names and results of all different age groups. Unfortunately Ton Peters passed away before he could finish the collection of all results. Bernd Rehpenning — the man who created the age factors for WMA during the last years – has started this project with new energy.” Bully for Bernd! Would be great to see a similar venture in the States.
Here’s the M90 Top 10 list for the 100-meter dash. How does America compare?

To our European friends:
The Link below includes PDF copies of the “British” Masters Track and Field Newsletter “Veteris”
from 1973 to 1976.
Also included in this same link are some of the European trips documented in the USMITT Newsletters.
Hope these help a little bit with the major undertaking.
