Duluth's Carl Etter won his second USATF Masters title on Saturday taking the M70 triple jump with a leap of 8.96m/29'4.75". Result is HERE. Fairmont's Sherwood Sagedahl finished fourth in the M75 javelin launching the spear 29.60m/97'1.4". Result is HERE. He was also sixth in the 100 in 15.19. Result is HERE. Susan Loyd was seventh in the W55 100 in 15.87. Result is HERE. Owatonna's Paul Lykken is defending champion in the M50 javelin, which has no final results posted as yet HERE. Appears to scoring glitches with what appears to be place listings, but no stats on the individuals' performances.
In the prelims of the M60 200 Jim Schoffman finished ninth in 28.17. Result is HERE.
Results have been spotty. For example, there is a video of the 800 from Thursday, but no results for the M60-64 or 65-69. The video of the fast heat from the M60 800 is HERE. Schoffman, who finished third, reports: "The 800 was a tactical race. Nolan Shaheed, the current world record holder(M60) set the pace and gave me a gift of a 71 first 400. I held on for third. My stiff
Achilles kept me from finishing better than ninth in the 200 so I didn't advance. The weather has been great."
You can hear the announcer in the video of the 800 noting that Shaheed is 65 and running in the heat with the 60-64 runners. But, Shaeed turned 65 on Friday, not Thursday, so he was still 64 when he ran the 800. He finished second. There were also issues in measurements. The 100 meters, turned out to be 99.95 meters, and the meet officials had to use a tape for the starting line to allow the runners to go the correct distance. All this is detailed in Ken Stone's Masters Track HERE.
