If my reckoning is correct, Kevin Sullivan is 33 right now, and will be a master in two years time. Can he get the records???
1500m - 3:33.91
3000m - 7:38.X ?
300mi - 7:40.6 ??
just what i remember.

unless you know something i don't about the aging process, pretty sure he won't be a master's runner in 2 years time.
test
i thought masters began at 40; is that just in the US? i guess he's got a good shot at those age 35 1500/mile records.
The US master's record for the 1500 is held by Steve Scott (3:35.4). I don't see any 40 year old running 3:35 in a looooooong time.
Are these the records for the new 35+ is a master's foolishness?
the only time i notice masters is in xc and there the cut off is 40. maybe it's just me, but it seems pretty silly to put 35 year olds as masters runners. culpepper is going to be 35 this year. he's done competing with the youngsters, right?
recently a new bracket was opened up. 35-39.
you see how silly it is by the quality of some of the records. johnny gray, for example, ran a 1:43.36 as a 35 year old in 1995 (he also ran 1:46 or faster as a 39 year old - don't ask me why he didn't bother to break the 1:50.69 masters world record; and yes, he was still competing in 2000 as a 40 year old).
how many americans of any age have run a 1:43.36 or faster?
