Lots of coverage of this on Longhorn Network for those that have it.

I will be driving down Thursday to work my 47th Texas Relay. Lots of mandated covid protocol. Abbreviated schedule, three days instead of four days, no HS division. cancelled Thursday night fish fry. Usually, too many officials clamoring to work the Relays, scrambling for bodies this year.

Jenn Suhr making her first Age 39 appearance!!
My Record Book doesn't currently have an OUTdoor Age 39 Record!
But I'm sure (or SUHR??) she'll provide a good one!
If she just makes the opening height, that will become the Record!

Looks like they're selling limited tickets. Since I'm vaccinated, I tried to buy one and none are available. I wonder if it actually is sold out already or if the system is just wonky.

Was this the link you tried? It appears to be working for me.

Yep. It wouldn't let me buy a single all-meet ticket but it looks like i can buy a single session ticket.

I think I'll pass since it's forcing me to be on the finish line side and I want to be at the PV pits. Maybe there'll be walk up tickets for the other side of the stadium.

Best of luck for this week. And stay safe.

Quick! Write these in your book, so you can replace the best with Suhr.

The best 39 year olds at 3.80 or higher:

Performance	Athlete	DOB	Country	Location	Date	Age_Days	Age(y-m-d)
4.00	Rosey EDEH	13-Aug-66	CAN	Hong Kong (HKG)	2-Jul-06	14,568	39-10-19
4.00	Alison DAVIES	6-Apr-61	GBR	Birmingham (GBR)	12-Aug-00	14,373	39-4-6
3.90	Brigitta HESCH	17-Mar-79	AUT	Ried im Innkreis (AUT)	15-Jun-18	14,335	39-2-29
3.80	Joana RIBEIRO COSTA	15-May-81	BRA	Bragança Paulista (BRA)	18-Nov-20	14,432	39-6-3

Note that WA only has HESCH listed with a 1979 as DOB. I found her actual date of birth from a Masters competition result sheet.

I used to give Tafny Awards for great posts, but I'm making up a new one, the SABBIE.
The Sabbie is awarded for Statistical Above and Beyond research.
DJ gets one for his 'youngest sub-4' list; now you get one for this.

Thanks!
Here's why I didn't have a mark for Age 39 women---
My "Record Book" is totally self-compiled, using eTN & T&FN, Athletics & FAST Annuals, HS Track, Tilstopaia & assorted other stat sources as my research!
Most lists don't extend beyond the top 50 or 100.
PV'ers mostly are retired by 39---or younger.
I do have an Age 40 mark--from Athletics Annual, which has a list of "Masters" records!

Anyway, now I know the Age 39 record is 13-1.50.
Jenn---assuming she doesn't NH!--will shatter that mark with her first clearance!!
LOL

It's about 8 p.m. CDT Wednesday. The women's heptathlon is scheduled to start tomorrow at 10 a.m. CDT Thursday. Does anybody know if the Prime Time Timing results links are actually going to be set up before then? Presently, they don't even lead to a list of events, with 14 hours to go. I keep getting this page...

https://pttiming.com/event.php?mid=37&pt=schedule

..., where "Results" on the left and "Results" on the right only lead to the announcement about the starting lists.

I hadn't cross checked the Masters records, so I found that Doris Auer (AUT) holds the 40+ record with 4.10, which is higher than what I found for 39 year olds.

So I checked her IAAF profile and she indeed had also jumped 4.00m as a 39 year old multiple times. The IAAF season lists are in date order at each height, so given they are so close together, I must have skipped the page that had her entries while doing a manual search. Here's a table of her =WR(39) jumps.

Performance	Athlete	DOB	Country	Location	Date	Age_Days	Age(y-m-d)
4.00	Doris Auer	10-May-71	AUT	Regensburg Pole Vault Meeting, Regensburg	29-May-10	14,264	39-0-19
4.00	Doris Auer	10-May-71	AUT	St. Pölten Austrian Top 4, St. Pölten	3-Jun-10	14,269	39-0-24
4.00	Doris Auer	10-May-71	AUT	Regensburg Sparkassen-Gala, Regensburg	5-Jun-10	14,271	39-0-26
4.00	Doris Auer	10-May-71	AUT	Wien Regional Ch., Wien	13-Jun-10	14,279	39-1-34
4.00	Doris Auer	10-May-71	AUT	Novo Mesto International Meeting, Novo Mesto	13-Jul-10	14,309	39-2-64

LOL

Let's hope so. As long as she goes 4.31+ she's in Peter Larsson's comprehensive list and I checked ages for all those vaults via formula. It's a shame you can't query the WA database as easily. Life would be much easier.

And just to confirm, all stats are outdoors only.
