Is Brittney Reese close to single-age WR in long jump?

[KenStone]

While writing this Chula Vista meet story, I tried to find single-age records for women's long jump — since Brittney Reese at 34 went 7.10 (23-3 1/2) with a wind and 6.83 (22-5) legal.

Anyone have a link to such a list?

My guess would be JJK, who went a legal 7.20 in 1996

Drechsler went 6.85 when she was 37 in 2002

My Record Book has single age records for 17-40, INdoors & OUTdoors (separate, no absolutes!), Men & Women!
For Women OUTdoors, from 34-40
34--JJK 23-7.50 (1996)
35--Drechsler 22-11.25 (2000)
36--Drechsler 22-3.50 (2001)
37--Olenchenko 22-7.75 (1996)
38--Olenchenko 22-0 (1997)
39--(Don't have a mark!)
40--Ter-Mesrobian 22-0.75 (2009)


My bookend designations are "0-17" and "40-over", meaning anyone up to and including 17 can set the 0-17 record, and anyone 40 or older can set the 40 & older record.

I don't have specific records for ages 16 or 15 and so on, nor for ages 41 and 42 and so on!!

Legal performances, winning jumps, sorted by distance and then by age. Source www.alltime-athletics.com and worldathletics.org. [edit to add] I looked at indoors and outdoors but all these performances are outdoors - no indoors made the top list.

A table of windy winning performances from the same sources as above, also down to 6.80. Again, all performances ended up being outdoors:

Rank	Performance	Athlete	Country	Location	Date	Age(yy-mm-dd)
1	7.10 (2.3)	Brittney REESE	USA	Chula Vista, CA (USA)	29-May-21	34-8-20
2	7.04 (2.9)	Jackie JOYNER-KERSEE	USA	Atlanta	23-Jun-96	34-3-20
3	7.00 (2.1)	Niurka MONTALVO	ESP	Valencia	15-Jun-02	34-0-11
4	6.83 (2.9)	Caterine IBARGUEN	COL	Barranquilla (COL)	30-Jul-18	34-5-18

As a final note, www.alltime-athletics.com has ancillary jumps down to 6.90 but worldathletics doesn't include ancillaries so I can't provide any between 6.80 and 6.89. From the alltime-athletics list, Jackie Joyner-Kersee is the only athlete to appear with two jumps, both in Atlanta on 18 May 1996, when she was 34-2-15 - 7.10 (0.1) and 7.06 (2.7).

I can't tell if you really searched for (or expected to find) an indoor performance among the wind-aided marks, or if you are just being droll.😉

Neither, just really bad writing!

What I meant to meant to say, but didn't, is that the alltime-athletics legal data (down to 6.90) didn't include any indoors marks, even though I checked. To extend the list down on a like for like basis, I went with outdoors only marks from WA for the 6.90-6.89 legal list.

The non-legal list only included windy and NWI outdoor and NOT any other non-legal marks indoor or out that pela sometimes lists - dodgy runway, suspect measure, drug offences etc. Again, I did this on a like for like basis as WA doesn't include any of these non-legal marks in it's indoors lists like it does for outdoor marks where you can filter for legal/non-legal/NWI/All.

I hope that makes it clearer, or does it?

Absolutely, (windy being a subset of NON-LEGAL).

I often marvel at your ability to so quickly answer a question by diving into the data to produce a clearly formatted table that obviously uses Excel functions that I haven't taken the time to learn.

Yeah, I envy and enjoy El Toro's statistical endeavors.
