Title: 70-year-old runs a 25.7 in the 200 at Nationals

Charlie Allie sets a new World Record. My friend Roger Pierce finished 3rd in 28.7.

I saw that. I never really trained for the 200, but did run a few in all comers meets just out of high school and best was 25.4

25.7 at 70 is unfathomable. 100.39% age grade.

 :e)   Doping test done yet?

If I didn't know any better, I thought I was watching a high school athlete.

My age-graded time is ~25. Not my actual time. And he’s 11 years older. Just incredible.
