World Masters Athletics Rankings 2012 : How are we tracking?
One of my goals for the group has been to get all of us a world ranking. In 2011 five of us made the cut. KT W45-49 10000m ; Helen W50-54 10000m ; Mia W55-59 1500m+5000m ; Kathy W60 800m+1500m ; SB M45-49 5000m+10000m.
2012 has barely started and all of the above have re-posted world ranking times for 2012 for all of the above named events. Most of us have already improved on the times we set in 2011.
Mia's 20:25 improved on her 21:13 5000m of 2011. Her 5:45 improved on her 5:56 1500m of 2011.
Kathy's 2:52 improved on her 2:55 800m effort of 2011. Her 5:42 improved on her 5:56 1500m effort. Her 20:56 5000m is an additional event to her 2011 rankings.
SB enters M50-54 with an additional ranking in the 1500m along with the 5000m (a big climb) and 10000m rankings of 2011.
On the very near horizon Heidze looks set to enter the World Rankings in both the W40-44 800m and 1500m. Her 2012 times of 2:28 and 5:13 only need to improve marginally to 2:25 and 4:58 to make the cut off. She is well capable of that.
All of us have next weekend to add to our efforts of the last 3 months. Then we have the last 3 months of the year to improve on them again.
For our other friends we will keep chipping away. How many of us will be ranked by years end I wonder.
