Masters 800s at Drake
Ida Keeling became world’s oldest female sprinter at Penn with her 1:17.33:

Hoping someone with a Flotrack account might be able to fetch the video of her race and post to YouTube.
Nice quote from Ida is included with her mark
on the results page.
Heat 2 of men’s 800 at Drake:

Bill indicated to me before his 100 that he was far below 100%, and yet he was only 0.20 seconds off the world record. Amazing.
Also amazing, and worth posting here as well as in the post about Allen Woodard from several days ago, was Allen’s anchor yesterday.
For perspective: The College Men’s Championship of America 4 x 400 traditionally ends the meet on Saturday about 6 PM. This year, Najee Glass of Florida came through with a 46.18 anchor leg to secure the gold for his team (3:04.78).
Forty minutes before Najee ran, a 47-year-old man from Texas named Allen Woodard anchored his team to victory in 48.41, just 2.23 seconds slower than Glass. This is almost beyond belief. In truth, this was one of the greatest performances in the 50-year history of the US masters T&F program.
Bill is such an amazing person and athlete. He does more than just sprint. He supports and helps anyone who asks for help and advice in this sport and other sports as well. Always a gentleman. Great work, Bill. Proud to be a Houston Elite teammate.
The photo shows Bill anchoring his team to an American M65 record of 50.37. The existing M65 record is 51.12. Unfortunately, that will remain the record, as “we missed it.” The Penn Relays program did not indicate that all four runners (N.Z. Bryant, Charles Allie, Ron Johnson, and Collins) were 65+, nor would one expect it to.
The program simply indicated that this was a race for men 60+. What a shame to have this wonderful record go into the wastebasket.
Amendment to what I just said: I have just learned that the masters records coordinator at Penn was indeed told before the race that they were all 65+, and thus an application was filled out. Thank goodness.
This does bring up the issue, however, of holding the Penn Relays to a much higher standard than our nationals. At nationals, records go right through, while for Penn Relays, they do not. As anyone who has ever been to the Penn Relays knows, this can be a challenge of the highest order.
Fortunately, the new masters records coordinator for Penn, Kyle Mecklenborg, as well as masters coordinator Phil Felton, took extraordinary measures well before the meet to make it likely that all the records will be accepted this year. These measures, which I cannot fully describe, even involved bringing the actual director of the meet into the processing of masters records.
Thanks to Peter Taylor and Phil Felton our M70-74 4×100 record in 2008 was ratified and still stands. One of my greatest memories of my track career. Bill’s group is the most likely to break this record if they hold together 5 more years. Incidentally that record is 51.96.
