With Yelena Isinbayeva facing Jenn Stuczynski as the new U.S. record
holder for the first time at Rome's Golden Gala tomorrow night, it
might be timely to look back at the record contributions of Jenn's
national record predecessor, Stacy Dragila.
I'm not sure I have all of Stacy's records

Today's edition of the Vancouver edition of Globe and Mail includes an
article that's interesting, but without enough information to know how
well-founded is that interest.
It describes a study undertaken at the University of Alberta in which
researchers examined reaction times for the 100m
Allen Gillman was good enough to send along a pdf copy of the reaction
time report. The report itself is copyrighted, but I'll copy the
abstract. That answers some questions and may increase your interest in
seeking out a copy of the June issue of Medicine Science In Sports
and Exercise. RR

The considerable publicity that has been given to the high smog levels
in Beijing has caused me to speculate on a world record holder who
would not have been able to compete in the Olympics if they had been
held there in 1968. If I'm wrong in the details, maybe someone will
offer correction.
This project began, simply enough, with Derek Miles' 5.85m vault at the
Brandenburg Gate competition, just one centimeter short of Jeff
Hartwig's world masters (age 35-39) record, which led me to wonder how
many other masters-age vaulters there were of world-competition quality

Well, the masters did fairly well on the speed event, with a few more
representatives on the 2008 100m list than in the pole vault, although
not as highly ranked. So, if masters can compete in speed, what's next?
How do they make out in an endurance event? Let's try the 10,000 meters:

A reasonable expectation would be that the first hurdling lists I'd
search would be the 100m/110m highs. I think that James Fields'
laudable efforts to keep the t-and-f list functioning through his
frequent steeplechase posts deserves priority for that event.

season is marked by the Reno Summit meet. The 2009 Summit is this week,
which might make it a good time to review national records in the event.

With the major U.S./Canadian indoor vaulting season beginning this week
in the Reno Summit, perhaps it's a good time to summarize national
records for the event. My files show the men's records as follow:
As most coaches would know, in determining eligibility for youth or
junior championships, the IAAF considers the age of the athlete to be
based on the year, not the date of birth. Thus, a competitor born on
January 1, 1992 and one born on December 31 are both considered to be
17 years old
