► TF Jordan Gray Puts Women’s Decathlon Record Over 8,000 points

“Greatest Woman Athlete” Smashes American Record; Runner-up Has H.S. Best:
JORDAN GRAY PUTS WOMEN’S DECATHLON RECORD OVER 8,000 POINTS
Jordan Gray obliterated her American Record in the women’s decathlon Sunday, running up history’s second highest total of 8,246 points in the Women’s Decathlon Association “National” Championships at College of San Mateo.
The Ball Ground, Ga. resident becomes only the third person to score over 8,000 points in the 10-event competition, which, effectively, determines the “world’s greatest” female athlete.
The world record is 8,358 points by Austra Skujyte of Lithuania in 2005. The only other athlete to ever top the 8K mark was Marie Collonville of France, who set the former world record of 8,150 points in 2004.
Gray added a phenomenal 325 points to the American and Western Hemisphere Records of 7,921 she set in the first Women’s Decathlon Championships in 2019, also at CSM. It is the third American track and field record set on CSM’s international Mondo track facility — as the college begins its 100th season of athletic competition. Kim Kreiner, previously, set an AR in the women’s javelin throw at CSM.
WIND AVERAGE = LEGAL SCORE UNDER CURRENT RULES: Gray’s average wind-reading for the three events affected by wind was 1.4 meters per second, well under the allowable average of 2.0 (according to newer rules). Her competition opening 100 meter time was 11.86 seconds, aided by a 4.6 meters per second wind – the fastest ever under any conditions in a decathlon. Gray’s second day 100 meter hurdles race (timed in 14.43) was intentionally run into a 2.5 mps headwind, still scoring 919 points, to lower the overall meet wind average. (Her personal best is 13.80.) Gray had a 20 foot, 1 inch long jump the first day with legal 2.0 wind assistance – as she tallied the highest ever first day tally by an American, 4,356 points.
Gray, a 2019 Kennesaw State University grad, continued to roll on day two with a discus throw of 130-8 for 652 points. She won the pole vault at 12-10 for 935 points and the javelin throw at 135-0 (689 points), equaling the second best mark by an American in a women’s decathlon. That had been achieved in 1997 by Stacy Dragila (the ex-pole vault world record holder who was a former community college heptathlon star). Gray finished with a 1,500 meter time of 5 minutes, 20.27 seconds, for 697 points to easily surpass the record. .
“The world record wasn’t something I was targeting,” said Gray. “I just wanted to come in and do my best without worrying about it – and get the American record.”
Gray, who was born in Lawenceville, Ga., plans to continue lobbying officials in USA Track & Field and World Athletics to allow women to contest the decathlon, along with the men, in major competitions.
Cash prizes were awarded to the top post-collegiate competitors by the Women’s Decathlon Association and by 3-time local Olympian Pat Daniels Connollly, an Olympic multievent pioneer in the pentathlon (in 1964). She is a former Capuchino High (San Bruno) and CSM student who now resides in Half Moon Bay.
HIGHEST EVER HS TOTAL: Corinn Brewer, an incoming senior at Greensburg (Pa.) Central Catholic, achieved the best ever high school decathlon score, 5,698 points, finishing second in the overall competition. She does not, however, officially break the high school and under age 20 record of 5,676 points — due to her excess wind average (over 2.0) for the competition. Brewer, also a cross country runner at her high school, won the concluding 1,500 meters in a swift 4:59.57 (829 points) – only the sixth ever (second American) to better 5 minutes in a women’s decathlon. That prevented race runner-up Gray from having the leading mark in all ten events.
INTERNATIONAL FIELD: Uxia Pereira of Spain finished fourth in the meet with 5,539 points.
–Only men currently contest the decathlon at the Olympic Games, although the women’s event is an official World Athletics and USATF competition. This competition provided an opportunity to determine the “greatest woman athlete” just two weeks after the Olympics.
National and local level officials from the Pacific Association of USA Track & Field officiated the competition, using laser measurements and national timing services of Sean Laughlin of RecordTiming.

► TF Recap of August 17 Tamalpa All Comers Meet
Tamalpa August 17, 2021 Track Meet
San Rafael High School Track
A huge turnout of 108 runners, a new Tamalpa Track Meet participation record, competed in the August Tamalpa Track Meet on August 17, 2021 at San Rafael High School. The first race of the meet was the One Mile Race and had 34 runners. 28-year-old Tyler Harwood took the lead from the start and won the race handily with a time of 4:51.6. Allie Kegley was the first female finisher with a strong 6:40.0 finish. 50-year-old Simon Stebbings had the highest age grade for the race as he finished in 5:04.8 with an age grade of 83.49 %.
The next race was the 400M and 32-year-old Chris Barton was the winner with a fast 0:54:31. We had only one female runner in the race, 47-year-old Odilia Diaz who had a 1:51.48 finish. The highest age graded performance was 77-year-old Larry Barnum’s 1:09.84 which gave him a 96.32% age grade score.
The 800M race was next and Tyler Harwood followed up his dominating win in the One Mile Race with another easy win in the 800M in a time of 2:13.00. Allie Kegley repeated her win in the One Mile Race as the first female finisher in the 800M with a time of 3:01.00. 63-year-old Christian Oakes had the highest age grade in the race with his 2:40.00 finish and an age grade score of 80.75%.
The next race was the 200M and 25-year-old Derrick Martin won the race easily and broke the Tamalpa 200M Track Meet Record of 22:12, which he had set at the Tamalpa June 2021 Track Meet, with an outstanding time of 0:21.77. That is the new Tamalpa Track Meet Record for the 200M. 60-year-old Joy Upshaw was the first female finisher in the 200M with an outstanding time of 0:28.51. That time set a new Tamalpa Track Meet 200M Record for women 40 and older and gave her an amazing age grade of 99.27% for the race. Her 99.27% age grade is the highest age grade ever recorded in a Tamalpa Track Meet!
The 100M race featured a very tight battle between 54-year-old Walter Crawford and 52-year-old Maximo Garcia. Walter Crawford prevailed with a time of 0:11.36 to Maximo Garcia’s 0:11.53. Both runners broke the previous M50+ record of 0:11.59 which Maximo Garcia had set two years previously at the 8/20/2019 Tamalpa Track Meet. Walter Crawford is the new Tamalpa M50+ 100M record holder with his time of 0:11.36. He also had the highest age grade for the race with a 99.17% age grade. His age grade is second only to Joy Upshaw’s 99.27% age grade that she set in this month’s track meet 200M race. 60-year-old Joy Upshaw was the first female finisher in the 100M with a fine time of 0:14.00 which was only 0.03 of a second off of Nanci Henderson’s 13.97 Tamalpa 100M Track Meet Record for 40+ women.
The final two races of the meet, the 3000M and the 5000M, were run concurrently to close the meet. We had a record 38 runners in the 3000M. 16-year-old Christian Taylor won the 3000M with a time of 9:24.00. Christian also had the highest age grade in the race with a 82.83%. 17-year-old Ellie Black was the first female finisher in the 3000M Race with a time of 11:54.92.
32-year-old Katie Klymko was the winner in the 5000M with a time of 17:31.38. This time gave her the highest age grade in the race of 82.48%. Katie also broke the long-standing women’s 5000M record of 17:32.30 set by YiOu Wang at the Tamalpa Track Meet of 6/22/2010. Markelle Taylor was the first male finisher in the 5000M with a time of 17:51.69.
Jason Reed and Max Huckstepp were the ironmen for the track meet, as they ran in the maximum of 6 races in the Meet.
Thanks to Kevin Rumon, Tim Fitzpatrick, Tom Lyons and Liz Gottlieb for doing the timing for the meet and Lillie O’Reilly, Reese Laughlin, Claire Bukata, Kent Carlomagno, Verity Breen and Paul Herrerias for registering runners. The next and Tamalpa Track Meet will be on Tuesday, September 14, 2021, at 6:30 PM at the San Rafael High School Track.

► TF National Wm’s Decathlon Champs at San Mateo this weekend!
“GREATEST WOMAN ATHLETE” NOT DECIDED IN TOKYO;
WOMEN’S DECATHLON CHAMPIOSHIPS SET FOR COL. OF SAN MATEO AUG. 21-22
NOTE: Although the women’s decathlon is an officially recognized World Athletics and USA Track & Field competition, women are not yet allowed to contend for the “world’s greatest woman athlete” title at the Olympic Games. They are currently restricted to the vintage 7-event heptathlon, which was contested in Tokyo two weeks ago.
College of San Mateo, which had student Pat Daniels (Connolly) pioneer women’s multi-event Olympic competition with the pentathlon at the 1964 Tokyo Games, is therefore hosting the only 2021 women’s decathlon championship meet this year. See link to New York Times Story at bottom –for background.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE August 19, 2021

College Of San Mateo Still the Center of Women’s Multi-Event Competition
WOMEN’S DECATHLON CHAMPIONSHIPS RETURN TO CSM AUG. 21-22; AR HOLDER / WORLD LEADER JORDAN GRAY HOPES TO BECOME FIRST AMERICAN TO SCORE 8,000+
The Women’s Decathlon National Championships are returning to College of San Mateo, this Saturday, August 21-22
Click here for a link to start lists, results, event info.
The 2021 Women’s Decathlon Association Championships, presented by Parity, is only the second standalone national meet for women to contest all 10 disciplines of the decathlon, such as the men concluded just two weeks earlier at the Tokyo Olympic Games. The event “routinely” determines a gender’s “greatest athlete.”
Cash prizes will be awarded to the top finishers this weekend. Jordan Gray set an American record of 7,921 points as CSM staged the first formal championship meet on June 22-23, 2019. She plans to defend her title and hopes to become the first American to better 8,000 points.
The Pandemic prevented most competition in 2020. Gray, however, did produce the season’s “world leading” performance of 7,627 points, finally getting into a special competition in Marble Falls, Texas, on Oct. 3-4. She broke her own “world decathlon long jump record, jumping 6.19 meters (20 feet, 3 3/4 inches).
Gray had set the former record of 6.18 while setting an American and North American area decathlon record in the 2019 competition at CSM. She ranks No. 3 all-time in the decathlon and hopes to challenge the world record of 8,358 points, set in 2005 by Austra Skujyte of Lithuania. Gray has already this year improved her individual long jump best significantly to 21 feet, 2 inches.
One international entrant confirmed, Uxia Pereira of Spain. Two early local (San Francisco) entrants are: AnnaLee MacGregor and Hanna McPhee.
Competition begins on Saturday, August 21, at 1 p.m., and at 11 a.m. on Sunday and should run approximately four hours each day.
CSM has long been a USA base for women’s combined events. In 1964 then CSM student Pat Daniels (Connolly) was the first to compete in an Olympic multi-event competition, the pentathlon – as women were finally allowed to contest five events (compared to the 10-event men’s decathlon). She finished seventh.
CURRENTLY WOMEN COMPETE IN ONLY 7-EVENT HEPTATHLON IN OLYMPICS:
Women now compete in the 7-event heptathlon at World and Olympic meets. The women’s decathlon is, however, formally recognized by World Athletics, which maintains lists of annual and all-time performances.
The decathlon adds two key field events for women, the pole vault and the discus throw to the existing menu of long jump, shot put, and javelin throw. The running event program changes from contesting the 200 and 800 meters to running the 100, 400, and 1,500 meters. The hurdles remain for both genders.
Pat Daniels Connolly still lives on the San Francisco Peninsula, in Half Moon Bay. The 3-time Olympian remains an avid supporter of the women’s decathlon. She was one of the youngest women ever to represent the USA in the Olympic Games, competing in the 800 meters in 1960 after her junior year at San Bruno’s Capuchino High School.
This championship meet in Silicon Valley is an open meet for interested qualified athletes. It is certified by USATF for record purposes. USATF Pacific Association officials will conduct the competition.
The Women’s Decathlon Association is staging the meet, in conjunction with partner Parity, a leader in the movement for parity in women’s sports.
