Email this postA new world record
Sprint Force America just set a new world record for a 70+ men's masters 4x100-meter relay.
Larry Colbert, Wayne Bennett, Gary Sims and Bob Lida crossed the line in 51.96 seconds.
The only problem was that they were running in a 60+ race, and finished second. But that's still pretty impressive.
Mass Velocity (Roger Pierce, Bic Stevens, Bob Davis and Ron Johnson) won the race in 51.37 seconds.
I put together a photo gallery of the race that you can see by clicking the link above.
With that, I'm off to the infield for a while. You can get live results from the Relays' official website, and apparently there is also live streaming video.
I hope that doesn't drive you away from the blog, though...
