Folks down in Brazil have posted results of the South American masters track and field championships, which ended over the weekend in Rio de Janeiro. A handful of Americans — some sprinters, hurdlers and thrower Rex Harvey of Ohio and WMA leadership fame — came away with some duplicate awards, I gather. Below are all results involving athletes from Estados Unidos. USA teams also swept the M45 sprint relays, with Val Barnwell of Brooklyn and Darnell Gatling leading the team. Val won gold in the 100 (11.91) and bronze in the 200 (24.02). Darnell won the 400 hurdles in 58.38 and won silver in the 200 (23.96), just ahead of teammate Val. In his M50 debut, Benny James won the 400 by two seconds in 53.81.
