Sherwood Sagedahl Wins Pentathlon

Sherwood Sagedahl  (M74, Fairmont, Minn.) didn’t break his age group world record in the men’s pentathlon Thursday, but he still dominated the event. Sagedahl  set the world record at the 2012 USA Masters Outdoor Championships in Lisle, Ill. While he fell short of improving the world mark (he scored 3,612 Thursday and 3,806 in 2012), Sagedahl continues to compete at a high level. He finished more than 1,400 points ahead of second place.

“I didn’t break the record, but I am happy with my totals,” he said. In addition to the five events from the pentathlon Thursday, Sagedahl will also compete in the 200m, 400m, 800m, 1,500m, javelin, and long jump and look to add to his list of national championships.
