The 2021 INdoor season is still going!
The 2021 OUTdoor season seems in late Spring mode!
(Or is the latter the 2020 season we never really had??)
Whatever the case, I have incredible marks from both!!
At the last World INdoor Tour meet in Madrid, Grant Holloway took down a World Record I personally believed would NEVER be broken--and in fact, believed it to be such an outlier as to be questionable!!
I speak of Colin Jackson's FORMER World Record of 7.30 in the 60H, dating from 1994!
Holloway added to his blazing season with 7.29, the new WR!!
(He'd run 7.32 in his heat!!)
He also gets the American Record, and the Age 23 Record!
Then there is The Ten!
That's a one-event "meet" held on February 20th in California!
Two 10K's which produced times not expected until Payton Jordan in May--or later!!
Marc Scott's 27:10.41 moves him to 2nd on the British A-T list--behind only Mo Farah!!
Grant Fisher led the US crew with his 27:11.29!
This makes him 5th A-T US!
Woody Kincaid followed in 27:12.78, making him 6th A-T US!
Ben True's 27:14.95 makes him 8th A-T US!!
Then came Thailand's Keiran Tentivate!
His previous best was in the high 28's, and his 5000 PR was about 13:57!!
So he breaks the latter in his first 5000, then breaks it again in his second!
His 27:17.14 is the new Thailand National Record!!
The Women's race was equally incredible!
Of all people, Elise Cranny kicked past Karissa Schweizer on the final straight to win in 30:47.42!!
This makes her 3rd A-T US!!
Not bad for someone who began as a Miler!!
Schweizer ended in 30:47.99, making her 4th A-T US!
Then came GB's Eilish McColgan, whose 30:58.94 missed her MOM's (Liz McColgan) time of 30:57.07, which she'd run in 1991!
Emily Infeld's 31:08.57 was a PR by almost 12 seconds.
She ranks 9th A-T US!!
Marielle Hall followed in 31:21.78!
(I'll have changes to my American Combined Events lists--for Men & Women--below!!)
OFF my US list is the legendary Francie Larrieu, whose 31:28.92 dates from 1991!!
Let's back up a bit & return to more INdoor stuff!
The Torun (Poland) WIT meet preceded Madrid's!
There, British Men's 800 list was somewhat revised!
Ellioot Giles removed Seb Coe's name from GB's National Record holder status!
His 1:43.63 makes him 2nd A-T World!!
But the Brits added Jamie Webb's name to that list!
His 1:44.54 in 2nd makes him 9th A-T World!!
Coe's old mark was from 1983!!
Andreas Kramer's 1:45.09 in 3rd gives him Sweden's NR, and makes him 24th A-T World!!
Selemon Barega torched a 1500 in Torun in 3:32.97!
This makes him 8th A-T World!
Marcin Lewindowski's 3:35.71 in 2nd breaks his own NR of Poland!!
(Holloway ran a measly 7.38 here in the 60H!)
Three Men cleared 7-8 in the HJ, with Maksim Nedeseskeu (sp?) winning over Andrei Protsenko and Gianmarco Tamberi!
The winner also gets Belarus's NR!
Torun gave up some good marks from the Women!
Habitam Alemu's 1:58.19 in the 800 makes her 14th A-T World!
Nadia Power was far back with her 2:00.98, but gets her own Ireland NR!
Femke Bol continues her hot streak with yet another Netherlands NR in the 400--her time being 50.66!
Javianne Oliver sped 7.08 in the 60!
Paraskevi Papachristau TJ'ed 47-10.75 for the World Lead!
Tori Franklin got the US Leader with her 46-2.50 in 3rd!
Christina Clemons's 7.81 in the 60H is another World Leader!
Lemlem Hailu ran the 3000 in 8:31.24, making her 16th A-T World!
Beatrice Chepkoech was 2nd in 8:31.72, making her 18th A-T World!
The 4th American Track League meet had some good marks, although Ryan Crouser's bout with food poisoning limited him to "just" 71-11.50 in the SP!
Payton Otterdahl hit 70-2.50 in 2nd!
Michael Saruni's 1:45.24 took the 800, but Kameron Jones's 1:46.23 makes him 21st A-T US!!
But the best event there was a special High School Men's 200!!
Nothing less than a new HSR for Jaylen Slade, his 20.62 erasing Noah Lyles's 20.63!!
He also gets the Junior Class Record, and the Age 17 Record!!
Gavin Schurr ran 20.84 in 2nd, making him 4th A-T HS!!
A good WT battle took place at Virginia Tech!
Denzel Comenentia's 79-6.75 beat Daniel Haugh's 79-5.25!
Comenentia is now 16th A-T World!!
A France meet saw Gudef Tsegay run 1:57.52 in the 800!
It's Ethiopia's NR, the Age 24 Record, and makes her 10th A-T World!
Getnet Wale won the 1500 in 3:35.54.
Lemecha Girma was close in 3:35.60!
(Holloway ran 7.41 here! Ho hum.)
PPPP is back!
Also known as Pedro Pichardo, he TJ'ed 56-11.50 in Portugal!
Yaroslava Mahuchukh HJ'ed 6-6.75 in the Ukraine!
Anzhelika Sidorova PV'ed 15-7 in Russia!
Back to the site of Holloway's WR--See above!--Madrid!
Gudef Tsegay ran a 3000 in 8:22.65!
She gets the Age 24 Record, and is ranked 2nd A-T World!!
Lemlem Hailu ran 8:29.28 in 2nd, and ranks 14th A-T World!!
Iryna Zhuk won the PV with 15-3.75, getting the National Record of Belarus!
Nadine Visser is having her best season yet, her 7.81 making her 24th A-T World, tied with 1 other!
Tori Franklin battled Patricia Mamona in the TJ, edging her 46-8 to 46-7.50!
Ms Sidorova improved to 16-0.75 in Russia.
P Knoroz and Irina Ivanova both cleared 15-5, with Knoroz getting Silver!
GB's Holly Mills scored 4557 in the Pentathlon!
In Spain, Maria Vicente's 4501 claimed Spain's National Record!
Gianmarco Tamberi went over 7-8.50 in the HJ!
Femke Bol (Who else??) broke her own Netherlands NR in the 400--by 0.02 seconds!
Her 50.64 misses my World DDD by 0.09 seconds!
Then there is the tale of Larissa Iapochina!
(That's an "I" as 1st letter, NOT an "L"!! That was actually tweeted about recently!!)
Her 22-8 in the LJ gives her the Age 18 Record!!
It also ties Italy's NR!
Guess who she's tied with?
Her MOTHER--the great Fiona May, who did her 22-8 in 1991!
BTW, May was British, then married an Italian--who she divorced a few years ago!!
But her daughter is bringing May's name back into the news!!
Some good HS marks to report!
Roisin Willis ran the 1000 in 2:41.43 INdoors, making her 2nd A-T HS, and giving her the Junior Class Record!
(Mary Cain's faster times were run as a HS PRO!!)
Also in that Illinois meet was a speedy run by Audrey Dadamio!
Too bad that they limited her to 3200 meters instead of the full Two Miles!
But her time over 3200 is too good to ignore completely!
She ran 9:51.24!
Luckily, she gets a time at 3000, her 9:15.2 making her 5th A-T HS!
Payton Phillips PV'eed 13-8.25, making her 18th A-T HS, tied with 1 other!
Logan Coles improved his WT mark to 77-11.75, making him 20th A-T HS!
And Kamyren Garrett HJ'ed 7-2.25, making him 12th A-T HS, tied with 2 others!
The Monaco Road 5000 saw Beatrice Chepkoech get the Road World Record with her runaway 14:43!!
The Men had a closer race, with Joshua Cheptegei's 13:14 beating Bethwell Birgen's 13:18!
And the OUTdoor marks are starting to emerge!
Alexandra Tavernier whipped the Hammer out 247-4 to claim her own NR of France!!
Finally, a few additions & changes to my Combined Events lists for Americans in the 3000-5000-10000, and the 5000-10000, based on what happened at The Ten (See above!).
Kincaid's 12:58.10 and 27:12.78 adds to 40:10.88, making him 4th A-T US!
True's 13:02.74 and 27:14.95 adds to 40:17.69, making him 5th A-T US!
Cranny's 8:40.33 & 14:48.02 & 30:47.42 adds to 54:15.77!
This makes her 4th A-T US!
But Schweizer is faster!
Her 8:40.25 & 14:26.34 & 30:47.99 adds to 53:54.58, making her 3rd A-T US!
Infeld's 8:41.43 & 14:56.33 & 31:08.57 adds to 54:46.35, making her 7th A-T US!
In the 5K & 10K, Schweizer's times add to 45:14.33, making her 3rd A-T US!
Cranny's times add to 45:35.44, making her 4th A-T US!
And Infeld's marks add to 46:04.90, making her 7th on that list!!
Next post--the INdoor Collegiate Conferences!!
