--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

LANDOVER, Md. – A trio of world records on the meet’s final day brought the total number of all-time world bests to 11 over the three days of competition as the USA Masters Indoor Track & Field Championships wrapped up Sunday at the Prince George’s Sports & Learning Complex.

A record 1,044 entrants ages 30-95+ from 14 countries and 47 states were on hand for the championships, which included 10 Olympians and 30 world championships. The Potomac Valley Track Club won the overall team title among 70 clubs from around the country. More information on the USA Masters Indoor Championships along with complete results can be found here.

Charles Allie (M65) set his second record of the championships Sunday with a world record run in the men’s 200m with a winning time of 25.41 seconds. Allie also established the American record in the 400m in a time of 58.81 earlier in the meet.

Competing in the most senior division of the championships, Orville Rogers (M95) added two more world records to his credit Sunday. His time of 6:53.84 set a world record in the 800m and his time of 57.88 established a world best in the 200m. The pair of records makes it six total world records for Rogers at the Masters Indoor Championships, which also includes best marks in the 3000m (30:19.33), mile (14:39.91), 400m (2:24.51) and 60m (14.82).
