Jim Oglesby sets World 2009 Outdoor age 75 best with the shot (12.92) at the TCF/NTC Throws Challenge #1 meet on 5 December at the NTC in Clermont Florida See meet results

In cold damp conditions Jim set about his task in earnest, deciding to forgo the javelin and discus events and concentrate his efforts on the shot put. All Jim's efforts bettered 12.50 with the best 12.92 placing him number one on the 2009 Master Athletics T & F World ranking lists. Only Bernhard Karlsson SWE having throw further 13.12i, but this mark was set indoors. The next best mark in the ranking of 12.44 by Antanas Cerniauskas LTU was beaten by Jim in all of his 6 throws. As I understand Jim's target in 2010 is to surpass Heiner Will GER World Record of 13.84 set in 2002. Well Done Jim, and good luck on your ASSAULT on the World Record next year
