UCTC Masters & Sub-Masters Results for Summer 2010 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 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. I am using the most recent WAVA tables, so numbers for the same performance differ slightly from those for years before 2007. 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 Usain Bolt's world record, I cannot say: how many 101 year olds have ever run 100 meters? Anyway, masters athletes can have fun with it!
