Rain (but not hurricane) possible for Puerto Rico WMA regionals
Lane assignments and heat sheets have been posted for this weekend’s WMA regional meet in Mayaguez, Puerto Rico. Check out this detailed list. And here is the final entrant list — 289 athletes, from Guatemala’s Jose Francisco Aguilar to Mexico’s Jose Zepeda. “Weather report to date is Hurricane Earl will not affect the meet in Mayaguez,” says a masters mole. “It’s now pounding San Juan with rain/wind and will do so tomorrow also. Mayaguez is on west side of island and as of right now, scattered rain and cloudiness only.” Talky website (in Spanish) is cheesy but OK. Only five entrants in the M55 100-meter dash! Dang! I would have made the final! Best of luck to all Americanos!

Thanks so much for doing this, Ken. This is why you deserve some compensation — who else would take the time to set everything out the way you have done?
In terms of lane assignments, I could not find them. I did find listings such as the following for the M40 100 dash:
1 Del Brey, Milton
2 Drummond, Don
3 Huertas Dias, Jose
4 Morales Figueroa, Jose
5 Valle, Carlos
This looks to me like an alphabetic list of the competitors, not a heat sheet. Or did I miss something? BTW, I pick Don Drummond to win.
Forgive me for posting twice, but no one else has posted once, even though the subject is an international meet that will feature many top Americans and Canadians. Wish I could be there.
I scanned the lists and saw four possible correspondents for this meet: Don Drummond, Linda Carty, Stefan Waltermann, and Eric Braschwitz. I hope that one or more will file a report detailing some of the following:
1. Quality and character of the facility.
2. Administration of the meet and officiating.
3. Weather, provisions for shade, water.
4. Quality of announcing and languages used — Spanish only, or Spanish and English?
5. Reaction of the city of Mayaguez and of the spectators to this international event.
6. Outstanding performances.
Easy for me to ask, as I am simply sitting at home looking at my monitor. After 2000 (Kamloops) I never got another chance to announce this meet.
Hola Pedro-Will do that for you.Hopefully I run into those participants you mentioned above and we all post something
Gracias, amigo de Arizona. Buena suerte.
Pedro

Gracias, Senor Echeandia.
Pedro
No problem Peter I believe lanes will be determined by how many Athletes turn up for each event and Athlete’s must pick up their credentials before they check in.
Tony: Ya voe que Luiz se comunico contigo.En que compites tu?
No esta informacion estaba en el website. Yo voy para 400M, 400MCV, revelo 4×400 Y possiblamente el revelo 4×100. Y tu?
Si lo se,pero es dificil de hayar para algunos.Categoria 60-64 100 y 200.No puedo competir en los relevos porque no hay suficientes panamenos.Ahi nos vemos
Nos vemos y buena suerte primo!
To all of the on the usa team good luck and may the red white and blue be with you each step of the way ,we are all pulling for ,p,s world get ready because the worlds are coming. and a special good luck to drummond, and m shute i wish nothing but the best.
Hey, Pedro Taylor and Alien from Arizona and a few more, cut it out …. I am still learning English., JUST KIDDING.
In Sacto, I maybe can help the Germans, most of them know enough English anyway.
Will look for results from PR, where can I find a
schedule?
Boos for WMA, which refuses to “track” meet records for the NCC WMA regional meet. I’ve compiled an “unoffical” meet record list from 1992 – 2006 (I’m a bit behind and need to update for 2008).
By the way, in the last 18 years, this meet has only been held in the mainland United States once.
See:
http://ortmanmarchand.com/wavarr.html
O.K. Correction. Make that twice in 18 years. The 2008 NCC WMA regional meet was in Clermont, FL.
does anyone see or know of the detailed schedule, meaning actual event times? the only schedule I see is the general one that only shows what events are on what days.
Hola ! Warren: I’m on my way there.Either myself or Tony E. will post.
one other question – does anyone know if the relays will be set up in 5 or 10-year age groups? those of us going should be thinking about getting teams together. I’m sure Puerto Rico, Mexico, and Trinidad-Tobago will have very competitive teams.
True, I am heading out to Mayaguez as well today, when I get the schedule I will post it or ask that our Federation posts it. I’m curious to know what time I’m running already as well LOL
O.K. I’ve updated the “unofficial” NCCWMA Regional meet records from 1992-2008. There are some very impressive marks that have been set.
http://ortmanmarchand.com/wavarr.html
Dave, you have done magnificent work, congratulations. I concentrated on the US sprinters in the 100 — what a group. Among the men we see everyone from Derek Holloway, the ex-pro football player whom you rarely see today to Bill “Big Train” Melville, who has retired.
Among the women we see Phil Raschker, Denise Foreman (there’s a name out of the past), Pat Peterson, Joy Upshaw, and many other dynamos.
In terms of minor changes I would make Denise “Foreman” as noted and not Forman, and I would make Bob Bowen age 40 in 1992 as a best guess. After all, he told me last month that he is now 58.
Again, wonderful work, Dave. What tremendous sprinters have been in this meet from the US and elsewhere.
Beautiful brand-new stadium. Lightning fast track. Most master-friendly long jump pit in the world (board five feet from pit). Best schedule ever for a summer event (early morning, 11:15 am last scheduled event!). Very friendly, knowledgeable staff, six top judges from the US. Good weather in the morning.. Late afternoon rain but who cares.
You’re the man, Stefan. That’s the kind of reporting we want from this international meet.
Pedro/Pierre/Pieter/Pietro/Peter Taylor
I posted the first little blimp from my iPHone. It was lost yesterday in San Juan and flown in today via Cape Air, the best little airline in the world! Man, those dudes are cool, going out of their way to help. (Fly them!)
Okay, the stadium was built by the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico for the XXI Centroamericn & Caribbean Games 2010 and seats 24,000 with 10,000 seats permanent and the rest moveable for versatility. It truly is a gem and puts Sacramento to shame. After the Nationals I feel like moving up from a beat down Chevy to a brand new Jaguar. If I counted correctly there are four very large tents around the track, one next to the 100 m start-line, one next to the discus ring/javelin run-up and so on. For you throwers out there, yes, we throw in the main stadium, not some dump. And yes, depending on the wind, they have two beautifully marked run ups for the javelin throws. For you sprinters and middle distance stars of the universe: yes, they have a state of the art track and a brand new cute 200 m four lane track to do your plyomentrics and related gyrations you call warm-ups. And for you jumpers of advanced age (or lesser abilities like myself), for some reason, the official boards are very close to the two pits (and the pit is longer than your average beach). When I turned in my javelin and discus, they showed me shiny new hardware, never ever used shots & javelins. Only the hammers seem to be old or they did not show me the new stuff. And the staff seems to be numerous, there are folks everywhere. Smiling, helpful, on top of everything. And I ran into Rex Harvey and his buddies, here to represent the US on the officials side. A very seasoned crew, indeed. From what I see, results should be posted within minutes of completion of the events.
As to the sightseeing around here, let me stop right there. I don’t want to be accused of being a dirty old man or a sexist pig.
Stefan – are the relays in 5 or 10-year age groups? is there someplace to see the detailed schedule of events (start times)
Anybody know how to get to the results for the Puerto Rico meet?
One of the best facilities I have run on in some years. The USA Team had a great time and put on a show. The facility was World Class and I must say they know how to run a meet.
I wish we had the set up for Worlds next year as they had plenty od spectator shade and treated you as though you were at a World type meet. Thank You PR for all the love and hospitality.
Can we move the World meet next year to PR??????????
Excellent points, Don. Whether (a) U.S., (b)North America, Central America, and Caribbean, or (c) world, the meet should treat the athletes well, the shade should be abundant, and everyone should enjoy themselves.
All we needed was Pete Taylor to announce and the thousands of talented US and Worlds athletes.
It would have easily went down as one of the best meets ever. When we go to Europe they have these world class facilities with cover for the spectators, wo shy not at our World Meet next year. I am confident that our host country will pull if off.
Most of us were not in any type of shape to run fast as the season has worn on us all.
Thank you very much, Don. I would have liked to be there (in Mayaguez). Right now I am trying to get the Albuquerque slot (March 2011).
Everywhere I go in the summer there are 3 issues that come up: (1) shade, (2) water, and (3) medical coverage. I hope that Sacramento hits these issues at a 100% level next year.
PT
Pedro: None of those were ISSUES IN MAYAGUEZ
Muy bien, amigo. Todo es maravilloso en Mayaguez !!
Pedro T.
I’m glad everyone who came had a great time. The event,facilities, weather and people all cooperated and we all had a great time. What everyone experienced in Mayaguez is basically how we celebrate any all events in Puerto Rico it is what makes us unique in the world. I hope everyone remembers this next time we host a World Championship or any other event. It truly was a ton of fun and all my good friends from the USA were nothing but Class acts and were loved by everyone on the Island. Thank you guys again for coming and making the event what it was!!!
