Willie Gault becomes oldest man to break 22 in 200

Willie Gault turns 48 in September, but forget about him biding his time till M50. At the Tiny Lister Classic on Saturday at Cal State Los Angeles, he ran 200 meters in a legal 21.80 seconds, demolishing Kevin Morning’s listed M45 world record of 22.13 set in 2002, when Kevin was 46. Men’s results here show that Willie’s race had a wind of 0.6 meters per second. Willie also ran a wind-aided (2.8 mps) 100 in 10.76. (He holds the M45 WR of 10.72.) Nice running, Mr. Gault!
