Masters Results from Summer 2004 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 the rank in percent.  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 predictc 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 men and
women of any age in any event.

Obviously, this is on somewhat shaky ground statistically, but as long
as one does not get into extremes in age or performance, the system
seems to work fairly well.  Whether a 20.5 100 meters by a 101 year
old man is really a better performance than Tim Montgomery's world
record, I cannot say:  how many 101 year olds have ever run 100 meters?

Anyway, masters athletes can have fun with it!  (People who rank above
80% usually compete well in National-level masters meets.)
