UCTC Masters & Sub-Masters Records for Summer 2006 Meets

Here are the results for all masters and sub-masters athletes this summer. Recently, the governing bodies made the age divisions the same for men and women: masters are 35 and over, ages 30-34 are sub-masters. After the name and age are three columns: the actual performance, the age-graded performance, and the rank in percent. (To use the WAVA tables, I had to add 0.24 sec to the times for 100 -- 400 meters to "convert" to FAT.) The latter two entries are based on tables produced by National Master News which attempted statistically to figure out how much track and field performance in each event declined with age, and then to figure out a set of factors from which one can predict how fast/far the actual performance would have been at age 25 -- 30 years. The rank is simply the percent of the predicted world record performance for the athletes actual age. The rank can be used to compare performances of both men and women of any age in any event. Obviously, this is on somewhat shaky ground statistically, but as long as one does not push the tables to extremes in age or performance, the system seems to work fairly well. Whether a 20.5 second 100 meters by a 101 year old man is really a better performance than Asafa Powell's world record, I cannot say: how many 101 year olds have ever run 100 meters? Anyway, masters athletes can have fun with it! (People who rank above 80% usually compete well in National-level masters meets.) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- June 22, 2006 actual age-graded rank 100 METER Ennis Taylor 42 M 11.9 11.43 86.2 Jacklynn Mister 44 F 14.1 13.16 81.8 Perry Casalino 43 M 13.7 13.04 75.6 James Bianco 43 M 16.1 15.29 64.5 800 METER RUN Barry Lee 44 M 2:45.0 2:30.65 67.5 MILE Barry Lee 44 M 5:55.0 5:27.3 68.6 James Bianco 43 M 6:09.3 5:43.1 65.4 Loch Macdonald 45 M 6:29.5 5:56.5 63.0 ----------------------------------------------------------------------- July 6, 2006 100 METER Ennis Taylor 42 M 12.2 11.72 84.2 Brian Quick 45 M 13.0 12.22 80.7 400 METER Brian Quick 45 M 58.6 53.84 81.1 800 METER RUN Roger Bashore 40 M 2:08.8 2:00.93 84.1 5000 METER RUN Paul Perry 61 M 19:57.3 16:11.0 80.1 Barry Lee 44 M 20:10 18:51 68.8 ----------------------------------------------------------------------- July 13, 2006 100 METER DASH Larry Gunn 63 M 13.1 10.89 90.5 S.
