Three Collegiate Records were taken down in the past 24 hours!
And the weekend's action on that front isn't over yet.
But with the wealth of material I already have, I decided to go with that info, and put out my first of two posts today.
The second will come in a few hours, and will cover the USATF meet, plus whatever happens elsewhere I don't have in this post!
Ramona Burchell won the SEC 60 in the CR time of 7.08, nipping the old mark by 0.01 seconds!
She also gets the Collegiate Senior Class record.
She moves from 3rd A-T Collegiate into 1st.
She's from Jamaica, but misses the World DDD by 0.04 seconds.
Michael Lihrman destroyed his own CR in the Weight Throw by more then 2 feet!
His 83-11.75 toss fell less than a foot short of the WORLD Record!!
Besides the CR, he also gets the Senior Class record, the Age 23 record, and the Big 10 Meet Record!
He moves from 4th A-T US into 2nd.
And from 5th into 2nd on the A-T World list!!
His main competition, the only other Collegiate 80 footer, Chuk Enekwechi, finished over 6 feet behind!
Last but not least in the CR department is Emily Sisson!
She beat Kim Smith's 11 year old 5000 record, running 15:12.22 in the Big East Conference meet.
Second place was about 68 seconds back!!
(Remember that Genzebe Dibaba won her WR 5000 by 64 seconds!)
Sisson started her INdoor season with a bang, running 15:21.84 back in December, finishing 2nd behind Sarah Disanza's 15:20.57.
But this is 2015, so she's the leading American THIS year!
Besides the CR, she also gets the Collegiate Senior Class record, as well as the Big East Meet Record.
She moves from 4th A-T Collegiate into 1st.
She moves from 6th to 3rd on the A-T US list.
And she becomes 23rd A-T on the World list!
The runner she displaced on that list?
None other than Molly Huddle, her 15:13.86 from last year erased!
Well, those are the "biggies" from the non-Pro set, but by no means the only major marks!
Tori Bliss became the newest American (and Collegiate) 60 foot SP'er!
Her 60-1 throw is the SEC Meet Record.
She's now 7th A-T Collegiate.
And she rates 17th A-T US!
Also at the SEC, Omar McLeod trounced the 60H field with his super time of 7.49!
Besides it being the new SEC Meet Record, it's also the Collegiate Soph Class record.
(He also holds the Frosh Class mark!)
He moves from 14th A-T Collegiate into 2nd, tied with 1 other.
He misses the National Record of Jamaica by just 0.01 seconds!
In the Women's 60H at the SEC, Kendra Harrison ran 7.92 for the Meet Record!
She moves from 8th A-T Collegiate, tied with 4 others, into 5th, where she's tied with 1 other.
She also becomes 23rd A-T US, tied with 1 other!
Sandi Morris tried AGAIN to break the CR in the PV, but missed her attempts at 15-7.25.
However, her make at 15-3.50 strengthens her hold on 2nd on the Collegiate DDD.
It's also an SEC Meet Record, displacing Tina Sutej's old mark of 14-11.
She remains 6th A-T US, except she's no longer tied with anyone!
Stephanie Richartz also got a small PR, 0.25 inches, as she reached 14-4.75.
She remains 22nd A-T Collegiate.
On the European front, Piotr Lisek broke his own National Record of Poland with his Vault of 19-4.25.
He does move onto the World DDD, into 18th place, where he's tied with "just" 11 others!!
Liz Ryzih Vaulted 15-5.75.
This makes her 16th A-T World, tied with 2 others!
Chris Uhle's 18-1.25 is the new ACC Meet Record.
In the HS PV, Mackenzie Shell improved to 13-6.
This moves her from 21st A-T HS, tied with 4 others, into 13th.
Besides Lihrman's CR, and Bliss's 60-1 toss, the WT and SP had several other good marks from Collegiates!
Ryan Crouser's 69-4.25 is the new Big 12 Meet Record!
Stipe Zunic's 66-11.50 is the new SEC Meet Record!
A recent mark I missed is Claire Uke's SP of 58-10.75.
She becomes 17th A-T Collegiate.
Taken OFF the Collegiate DDD was one of the American greats from the 80's, Regina Cavanaugh!
Her mark had been from 1986!
Danniel Thomas (Yes, that's how her first name is spelled!) tossed the ball 58-1.25.
She's now 24th A-T Collegiate!
Jill Rushin's Put of 57-9.50 misses my Collegiate Top 24 by just 2.25 inches!
Also in the SP, but on the HS scene, Willie Morrison's 67-4 makes him 17th A-T HS, tied with 1 other!
There were several good WT marks too.
Conor McCullough's toss of 77-5.25 is the Mountain Pacific Meet Record.
He moves from 15th A-T Collegiate to 11th, where he's tied with 1 other.
He moves from 19th to 14th on the A-T US list.
And he becomes 20th A-T World, tied with 1 other!
Ida Storm got the female version of the Mountain Pacific Meet Record!
Her WT of 73-6 is also the National Record of Sweden, breaking her own mark!
She moves from 24th to 14th on the Collegiate DDD.
And she becomes 20th A-T World (like McCullough!), tied with 1 other!
Cameron Brown's WT of 76-8.50 makes him 12th A-T Collegiate.
He's also 15th A-T US!
Jordan Young tossed the ball and chain out to 75-2.50.
He's now 19th A-T Collegiate!
Matthias Tayala's WT of 75-1.75 makes him 20th A-T Collegiate.
But Collegians weren't the only ones with great WT marks!
Some HS'ers got in on the action too!
Bobby Colantonio extended out to 79-9.
He moves from 17th A-T HS into 12th.
Owen Russell's 75-8.25 makes him 22nd A-T HS.
And Alva Hicks became 24th A-T HS with her throw of 57-6.50!
Leontia Kallenou tied her own and 1 other's SEC Meet Record in the HJ with her win at 6-2.75.
Three more ACC Meet Records were set.
Thomas Curtis ran 3000 meters in 7:52.92.
Clemson's Women's 4X400 Relay team ran 3:32.87.
And Manuel Ziegler TJ'ed 54-6 for the other ACC Meet Record.
Two great marks came in from Europe!
Bernard Lagat AGAIN broke his Age 40 record in the 3000 meters!
His time is now down to 7:37.92!!
And he WON the race, against a very solid field!!
Oh, BTW, this mark is faster than his Age 39 record too!!
Sharika Nelvis took over the World lead in the 60H with her 7.83 time.
She moves from 17th A-T US to 9th, where she's tied with 2 others!
The 1000 meters saw some good action.
Meagan Doody ran 2:49.08.
She's 21st A-T HS.
Right behind her comes Hannah Parker's 2:49.24, which makes her 22nd A-T HS.
Also on the HS list is James Asselmeyer's 2:25.86.
He's now 13th A-T HS.
Four Collegiates made my Top 24 list.
Brandon Fish ran 2:20.83 for 16th A-T Collegiate.
Spencer Haik's 2:21.04 makes him 17th.
Jesse Garn's 2:21.10 is now 18th A-T Collegiate.
And Ned Willig's 2:21.60 ranks him 22nd A-T Collegiate!
In the 800, we find Dylan Capwell's 1:46.82 ranking him 15th A-T Collegiate.
But he's also now 16th A-T US!!
Hanna Green's 800 of 2:03.43 makes her 24th A-T Collegiate!
Some marks I missed from earlier in the week made inroads on my lists.
Chad Zallow's 7.70 in the HS 60H keeps him 8th A-T HS, but he's no longer tied with anyone!
Jenna Prandini ran 200 in 22.87.
She's 23rd A-T Collegiate, tied with 1 other.
Courtney Okolo ran 400 in 51.35, which makes her 13th A-T US!!!
Taylor Ellis-Watson's 51.72 , makes her 20th A-T US!!
In the 600, two women ran the identical time of 1:28.78, which makes them both 17th A-T US, tied with each other!
They are Hanna Green and Kamryn McIntosh.
BTW, McIntosh's time is the HSR!!
I reported that in an earlier post, but neglected to mention her place on the US list!
One POSSIBLE error, however!
I've seen her mark reported as the 1:28.78, but ALSO as 1:28.87.
Either way, it's the HSR, but might make a bit of difference in her place on the US list if it's actually the slower time!
I'll follow through on this in a later post!
Kate Hall took over the HS lead for 2015 with her LJ of 20-6!
She moves from 21st A-T HS, tied with 2 others, all the way up into 9th!
The Women's Pentathlon on the Collegiate front saw some heavy action.
Regrettably, however, some of the marks came on Oversize Tracks, which for my purposes, negates the mark for my Record Book!
Let me make a brief comment!
I know you're tired of hearing me rant against OT's!
But in the case of the INdoor Multi's, whether they be the Men's Heptathlon or the Women's Pentathlon, I have a VERY powerful organization that agrees with me.
(Or I agree with them!! LOL)
The IAAF lists for the Multi's are divided into two sections.
One for "legal" marks.
The other--a separate list!!--for marks made on OT's!!
Thus I feel empowered (and emboldened) to continue my decision to NOT honor OT marks in the Multi's!
That said, here's some OT marks that were quite good!
Kendell Williams won the SEC with, for her, an average mark of 4509 points.
Lindsey Vollmer showed she'll be a threat in the NCAA with her OT mark of 4404 points!
(Vollmer's mark would have made her 9th A-T Collegiate, and 12th A-T US, if not for the OT!)
Jess Harauf scored 4361 points on an OT.
On regulation tracks (meaning those measuring 220 yards or 200 meters--or less!), Kaylon Eppinger scored 4317 points.
This makes her 18th A-T US!
And yet another ACC Meet Record was set by Pentathlete Xenia Rahm.
Her mark of 4273 points makes her 20th A-T Collegiate.
She's from Germany, so doesn't make the US list!
Duh!
One other OT mark came in the women's DMR.
Michigan State ran 10:57.80.
(There were some other decent OT marks in various events, but really, what's the use of listing them??)
As I noted at the beginning of this post, this is most likely an INcomplete report of the non-Professional groups!
Any marks I come across that belong here will be reported either in my USATF post, or in a mid-week post, as soon as I gather all the missing marks!!
See you in a few hours!!
