Tough Competition to Make Jamaican 10K Team

[Samurai_Runner]

Here are the results of the Jamaican 10000m trials:
Event 13 Men 10000 Meter Run
================================================== ======================
World Record: W 26:17.53 06/13/2005 Kenenisa Bekele, Ethopia
NATIONAL Rec: N 28:32.44 07/06/1989 Mark Elliott
Name Age Team Seed Finals
================================================== ======================
Finals
1 Gutzmore, Andrew 42 Unattached 34:11.00 37:13.20
2 Feurtado, Micheal 51 Unattached 39:05.78

I know they are sprint-oriented, but I would think they would have a few more entries and some guys who could break 35.

[IllinoisPhotographer]

wOOhOO. I would have won!

edit: you sure that isn't the masters division?

[c_Renz]

that looks like it might be masters

[Evilution]

I think that might be the masters division.

[Mighty Mouse]

it appears that that is the masters division of the 10k

[OnePoint]

perhaps the above results are the masters division

[reinelt62]

i'm betting those are the masters results.

[AK911Carrera]

I'm quite certain that those runners are of the Master Division.

-AK

[xcrunner09]

Those could possibly be the results of the masters division

[Ecliptica]

Has anyone suggested that these results are, indeed, from a division where competitors are older than 40?

[xcworldchamp]

I believe this to have been the masters division of this competition.

[Father Russia]

This combo is now over.

[jacksparrow34313]

Those guys are 42 and 51, which leads me to believe that this might indeed be a master's division.

You should have started the combo on "This combo is now over"

I thought some constructive conversation was going on in this thread. I was sorely mistaken.

I know, right? I came back after my morning run, saw 16 new replies and was like Woah, crap.

[The Jeff Jacobs part deux]

i'm all about gnomes.

[Bo Vice]

Im not too sure, but given their age, this could be the gnomie race.

[vano]

Those might be the results from the gnomie race.

[MIDAS]

Usain Bolt would have no problem running those times. He should try to qualify for worlds in some of the distance races.


edit: Nevermind those times appear to be from the masters division.

he coached me in college.

[vano]

Those may be the results of the masters division.

[bagelninjas]

Has anyone checked to see if those results are from the master's division?

I went to their site and the live results weren't available.

[KapolPak]

i dont think those are the masters division

[Green Lantern]

THEY'RE NOT MASTERS!

The 5k was won in 15:18.91 by a 25 year old, with a 51 year old DNS'ing!

It appears the only master level race they are having is the 100

Here are the results: http://www.jaaaltd.com/results/2009/srtrials/

[smaguire]

I still believe that those results are of a division that is comprised of masters.

that doesn't make it the master division.

The junior 5k was faster. A kid went 14:58.

[eh]

Yowch. The women's 1500 had one finisher (4:44), and I don't see a women's 5000 or 10000 at all, which presumably means they have no one.

But then they have Bolt. And Powell. And Frater.

[Slow Runner]

Those results may have been the masters division

[Saint Ashlar]

I think that might be the masters division.

[JamesCXC]

Wait, I was just checking their age's and both of them are over 40....

I have a crazy theory which many of you will deny....but...I'm pretty sure they're gay lovers. It sounds about right.

oh yeah and they're actually running in the masters division.

[10bears4317]

Since neither of them is named Johnson, I have discarded my previous theory that they ran in the Masters and Johnson Division and have concluded that they ran in the Masters Division. Does anyone agree?

[Cicero]

I haven't read through the thread, but has anyone considered that this may have been the Masters Division race?

[CTsnapple]

Didn't read past first post so it might've been mentioned, but I think those results are from the masters division.

Huh, I guess the guy before me went through the same thing. Weird!

[mwfroshxc]

You're all wrong. It's the open division.

-KOB

[eh]

You're all wrong. It's the open division.

-KOB

Although this is purely speculative, I believe that these results may reflect, in actuality, a race whereby entries are limited to those who were born at a time greater in magnitude than forty years to the past of the date at which the aforementioned race was held.lol

[Ray_Ray]

You're all wrong. It was the stoned division.


Fake Edit for every race falls under than division.

[therunner12]

2 Brown, Kirk 21 Unattached 16:38.00 15:53.32
What a PR.

[Swoosh13]

It appears likely that those results are from what is commonly known as the 'masters division'

[roller coaster]

There seems to be some confusion about this highly debated topic. I offer you this to help clear things up, but I think this race might have been a Masters Division race.

http://running.about.com/od/arunnersglossary/g/mastersgloss.htm

Definition: The Master's Division in running is for runners who are over a certain age. Unfortunately that age is not standardized. In some places, the minimum age for a master's division runner is 35; in other places, it can be 50. The Masters Track and Field Committee of USA Track and Field (USTAF) bylaws say that a masters athlete "shall be at least 40 years old on the first day of the meet." Most races advertise the age for master's division on the race sign up. Otherwise, it's a good idea to ask.

Pronunciation: mass-ters

Examples: Brad couldn't wait until his 40th birthday, so he could register in the master's division at his next race, in Jamaica.

[IllinoisPhotographer]

I think that this guy could have competed in this race

Sorry to break the news, but this was NOT a Masters race. It was THE Jamaican national championship race.

Wait....

Are you sure this wasn't the masters race?

[eh]

Yes, one can surely speculate that due to the overwhelming presence of these so-called "masters" in the race about which we are discussing, it was in fact a "masters race," in which each of the participants is, in fact, a "master." In fact.

[gobigorgohome]

by golly lads. i do believe we have seen the results of the masters' race!

[KapolPak]

im thinking this was the master division, i think

Well I think that this is the Masters section of Dyestat

[Alex Adkinson]

I dont know you guys, those dudes are old, leading me to believe they might have actually been in the masters division of the race.

[B Nel]

This is pure speculation, but I believe that the results in question may have been from the masters division of the 10000 meter run

[Ayo!]

I think this is one of those examples where Championship racing lead to slow times and runners just going for the win ...:D

[Brumund-Smith]

Since the times are slow and the competitors are old, the conclusion I have come to is that this was in fact the "masters" race.

[Evilution]

Maybe they just stopped for a smoke break.

[jbf]

So when Jamaican sprinters get old, they move up to the 10k, right? Is that what's going on here?

[Bo Vice]

Looks like a HUGE race for Gutzmore. Didn't expect him to run under 40. Looks like things are finally coming together for him in the masters division.

[KapolPak]

ya the ages make it look like it was the masters race i dont know though, what do you guys think

[Cicero]

I'm seriously considering subscribing to this thread. You know what? Consideration is over. It's go time.

[Father Russia]

This thread is terrifying.

Yes, I agree. However, I'm willing to bet it was the Master's division.

[smaguire]

Guys, have we determined if this the masters division or not. Their ages lead me to believe that this is indeed the masters division, but maybe Jamaica is just really bad at the 10k. I mean they are known for their sprinters. It is just hard for me to believe that only 2 people in the entire country would run the 10k and that each of them would be classified as masters.

The consistency of the above posting - that is, its near unanimity - presents new evidence that this was what is colloquially referred to as a "master's race."

[vano]

so was this in fact a race of the masters division?

[B Nel]

it has been brought to my attention that the results of the aforementioned race may have been from what is known as a "master's division"

[jtrain54]

Nope, you're all wrong.

World Youth Qualifying...those are graduation dates.

They grow em fast and stupid down thar yonder...but it doesnt matter now...they're goin to Italy!!!!

[trailblazer7]

Is it possible that this race contains master gnomes, if it is indeed the masters division of the race?

[other rj]

40 is the new 18, it must have been the juniors race

[BCXC_runner]

So I was about to tell my friend about the Jamaican National Championships, but I couldn't because I wasn't sure if this was the master's race or not. Could someone fill me in so I don't look like an idiot.
