My title might be a wee tad overwrought, but with solid fields in almost every event, I expected much more out of Rome's Golden Gala DL meet than just one Meet Record, and one Age record!
That MR went to Mutaz Barshim, who HJ'ed 7-10.75 for the Qatar National Record, the MR, and a move from 6th A-T World (tied with 5 others) up to 3rd A-T World (tied with 3 others).
The Age Record is, once again, the property of Jo Pavey, who set her 2nd Age 40 5000 record in less than a month, running 15:04.87.
That race was won by Genzebe Dibaba in 14:34 and change, but other than Pavey's, no other DDD or T&F Record Book-worthy marks came from it.
Nor from any other event!!
Diamond League??
No, THIS year's version was closer to Copper!!
But never fear, I've got several other marks to report from other meets.
High Schoolers had several State meets this weekend, including California's.
Perhaps the best mark came from a Freshman girl, Sydney McLaughlin.
She'd already broken the 9th Grade record for the 400H, running 58.24 a week or so ago, as I reported in an earlier post.
Well, she shattered that record, cutting a full 1.33 seconds from it, running a solid 56.91.
Besides the Frosh Class record, it's also 7th All-Time on the HS list!!
She also ran 13.47 for the 100H, and had a super 52.2 400 relay leg!!
This mark not only beats her own Class record, but that 57.64 by 8th grader Char Foster, dating from 1995.
(No more asterisks!! LOL)
Bethan Knights continues to roll.
She was timed enroute at 3000 meters (in a 3200 race) in 9:18.1, which makes her 11th A-T HS.
Arianna Washington had a great double at the Cal meet.
She sprinted 11.22 and 22.96!!
The 100 time rates 12th A-T HS, tied with 1 other.
The 200 time makes her 14th A-T HS, tied with 2 others.
The girl who was removed from the 200 list was Maicel Malone, whose 23.12 dated from 1986!
Garrett O'Toole ran the fastest MILE (not 1600!!) of the year, a 4:01.89.
It makes him 13th A-T HS.
Nate Moore's LJ of 25-8.75 rates 23rd A-T HS.
Curtis Thompson threw the Javelin 224-10.
This moves him from 21st A-T HS up to 15th.
Haley Showalter improved to 184-6 in the HT, moving her from 18th A-T HS up to 15th.
And Ishmael Muhammed ran 800 in 1:48.52, earning him 19th place A-T HS, tied with 1 other.
The latest American Track League meet, held in Houston on June 6th, produced a few Meet Records.
Brigetta Barrett HJ'ed 6-4.75.
Wallace Spearmon ran 200 in 20.38.
Jessica Beard ran the 200 in 23.08.
DeeDee Trotter ran 400 in 51.47.
And the Men's 100 was won by Harry Adams in a MR of 10.13, but Mark Jelks, in 2nd, was also given a 10.13, so they'll share the new 100 MR.
Finally got the 1500 split from the Pre Mile winner, Ayanleh Souleiman.
His Mile time of 3:47.32 was a MR, and so is his 3:32.72 1500.
Two for the price of one.
There were 4 National Records set recently.
Justyna Kasprzycka HJ'ed 6.6.25 for Poland's NR.
Charlotta Fougberg got the Swedish NR with her Steeple of 9:34.61.
Fabienne Schlumpf's 9:37.81 Steeple is the Swiss NR.
And Said Ndure's 9.95 MIGHT be the new Norway NR in the 100.
I said "MIGHT" because there's some question about the wind-measuring machine!!
Will correct, if necessary!
Christian Reif LJ'ed 27-10.25.
He's now 21st A-T World, tied with 3 others.
Bernard Lagat "recovered" from his "jog" at Pre (13:31 for Mr Lagat is a JOG!!!) with a 3rd place time of 7:41.94 in a 3000.
It's an Age 39 record!
Hengelo's IWC meet produced 3 Meet Records.
Richard Thompson sprinted 100 in 9.95.
Caterine Ibarguen TJ'ed 48-0.
And Queen Harrison ran the 100H in 12.56.
Well, in just 3 days (June 11th) begins a cycle of meets which, GUARANTEED, will need separate posts to cover the wealth of material they'll produce.
I speak of the NCAA and the NBN.
Can't wait!
