Carol LaFayette-Boyd, shown last week while training for the Canadian masters outdoor track and field championships, set two world records at the meet on the weekend.
Carol LaFayette-Boyd keeps adding to her remarkable record collection.
The 80-year-old Regina athlete set her 15th and 16th world age-group records on Friday — the opening day of the Canadian masters outdoor track and field championships , which concluded Sunday at the Canada Games Athletics Complex.
Competing in the women’s 80-84 division, LaFayette-Boyd established standards in the 100 metres (16.23 seconds) and long jump (3.69 metres). Those are among the four world records she has set in 2022.
“It’s nice to do better than I did before and it’s nice to break the records,” LaFayette-Boyd said on Saturday, “but I have so many medals that I take them home now and give them to my coaches.”
LaFayette-Boyd is a member of the Excel Athletika Track and Field Club, which played host to the national masters event.
“We’re responsible for the transportation of the athletes, so we try to pick them up at the airport,” she said.
“We could not do it without the volunteers, and without the officials, and they’re just so good.”
