July 1, 2003Kathy Bergen soars in the HJ/sprintsKathy Bergen of La Canada (kun-YAH-duh), California, may be the best combo sprinter/high jumper in the masters ranks, and certainly in the W60 group. Now 63, Kathy raised her own American record in the W60 high jump Saturday at the Chuck McMahon Memorial Masters Meet in San Diego. She cleared 1.35 (4-5) to top her year-old record of 1.34. She holds the AR indoors (1.31) and at 2000 Boston nationals set the indoor 200 AR for W60 of 31.03. Earlier she set indoor sprint records in the W55 group. And she's a regular in the Mt. SAC Relays exhibition 100 -- here (in black) being nipped by Kathy Jager in 2002. Bergen won the race in 2003. Next up: German Christiane Schmalbruch's W60 world high jump record of 1.38.

Dave's rankings give her at 1.37 in april, but you give 1.35 later as 'new'. What's correct? Post a comment
