Yes/No: Will Tom Langenfeld Win?

Masters athletes take center stage this week at the USA Masters Outdoor Track and Field Championships. Minnesota has a very strong masters community and is always well-represented at these meets. This year the meet will be held in Oshkosh Wisconsin July 9th – July 12th.

If you do not follow masters athletics, you may be surprised to know that the Roger Federer of age-group high jumping resides in Minnesota. Tom Langenfeld will attempt to add another national championship to his trophy shelf and is the subject of this week’s question:

Yes/No: Will Tom Langenfeld win the M70 High Jump at the USA Masters Outdoor Track and Field Championships on Saturday?


Tom Langenfeld has won high jump titles in eight consecutive USA Masters Outdoor meets. Lagenfeld was second to Emil Pawlik at the National Indoor meet and Pawlik returns to battle Lagenfeld outdoors. Lagenfeld has won 29 USA Masters high jump titles in his career and is a member of the USA Master Hall of Fame.

To play our game, simply type "yes" or "no" into the subject line of an e-mail and send it to us at DtBFantasy [AT] gmail [DOT] com before 1:00 P.M. CDT, Saturday, July 11th. Please put your answer in the subject line of the e-mail and make sure your full name appears somewhere in the e-mail. We will continue to offer a bonus for participants making their debut in Yes/No - a correct answer will be worth two points for any first-time players.

My Answer: Yes.

Yes/No Results from last week: The correct answer to "Will Patrick Smyth be the first Minnesota finisher at the USA 10K Championship on Saturday?" was yes. Smyth narrowly beat Andrew Carlson and Antonio Vega to win the prize as top Minnesotan in this race. 9 contestants answered correctly last week.
