Anyone drug-test Ingrid’s hair in the 1 and 2?
Results from Australia, Britain and Germany show some incredible world records being set in events from the 100 to 5,000. I noted
Jane Horder’s W60 hurdle marks, but another British masters nationals star was W70
Angela Copson, whose
5000 mark of 20:56.13 crushed the listed WR of 21:34.08 by Aussie
Lavinia Petrie in 2014. But Australia is celebrating the M85 WRs of
David Carr in the
800 (3:06.69) and
1500 (6:27.3), under the listed WRs of 3:09.10 by Canada’s
Earl Fee in 2014 and 6:38.23 by the late
Ed Whitlock, his Ontario colleague, in 2016. Finally, a week ago at German masters nationals, W70
Kathy Bergen’s listed WR of 14.76 for 100 fell to
Ingrid Meier and
her 14.73. Two days later in the 200, Ingrid
clocked 31.30 to nip Kathy’s listed WR of 31.39. Other records are being reported, but I like to link to results or authoritative sites just becuz.
Western Australia’s David smiles during race, perhaps his WR 800 down under.
Also in Australia, we learn: “Earlier in the week another MAWA member scored a World Record, this time Barbara Blurton in the W65 4x400m team at the National Championships in Darwin. Their time was 4:52.76.”
That destroys the listed WR of 5:06.10 by another Aussie team in 2016.

Thursday a Perth David Carr (M85) 11’04″2 in 2000 steeple , Saturday a Orvieto Marco Segatel (M55) 1,91 in High Jump and a Loughborough Anthony Whiteman (M45) 3’48″72 in 1500 M45.
Records are a great accomplishment, fun and reward for the athlete! THEN THEY GET BROKEN… CONGRATS TO THE NEW “SETTER”
BUT, IT WAS STILL MY/YOUR record at ONE time!
Nothing less!
Enjoy! Former and new record holders.
David Carr – 3 WR’s in 3 weeks! The 2km steeples WR (11:04.2) was 33 seconds faster than the previous record. Amazing athlete.
