Perdita's ranking prior to 2003 WCs?

[Greg in Toronto]

Does anyone here know Perdita Felicien's world ranking immediately prior to last year's World Championships?

Thanks,

Greg

Thanks, I tried that, but the closest it gets is top-ten for the end of 2002 (and she's not in there).

The question is what do you mean by world ranking ? IAAF rankings or position in world performance lists for the season ? Or something altogether different ?

I have a good idea of the times she'd run before Worlds, so I guess I'm looking for a ranking, or a "pre-Worlds form chart" sort of thing.

Immediately prior to the WC I am pretty certain that Perdita would have been ranked 4th after Brigitte Foster, Gail Devers and Miesha McKelvy.
Timewise she had the 5th best time after the above mentioned + Merriman.

Let me clarify that the foregoing is the T&FN formchart, which isn't necessarily the same as ongoing rankings, as the chart would take into account people with great skills from previous years who were lying low. But a ranking would have been pretty close to that, given that Felicien's only exposure on the Euro Circuit was a win in the Zürich B race, beating only one person who ended up in the season-ending top 10.

Thanks Gary. That's exactly what I've been looking for.
