50-year-old Tiffany Newell came in first place in the W50 1,500m race at the Canadian Masters Indoor Championships over the weekend, with the race being open to women aged 50 to 54, according to the Daily Mail
Newell clocked a time of 05:07.611, coming over one minute faster than Newell’s only competitor in the division, Catherine Weber, who clocked a time of 06:19.358.
The chart that u/givethemnothing posted really helps paint a wider picture, the record for 1500m W50 is 5:05.xx. Dude just missed record pace by 2 seconds. Conversely, the M50 is 4:18.xx. He's still 30 seconds behind the top female 1500m, though. Still, I wouldn't be surprised to see this guy hold the division record sometime in his career as a W50.
Article info really should be pointed out:
So it was a race of 2 people, both 50+.
