Brian Boudreau of Salt Lake City competed in the
2009 Desert Classic Short Track a few weeks ago and set a new world record in the 40-49 year age bracket for the 1000m.
Brian skated a 1:33.68 1000m to better the current record of Jim Lynch of 1:40.19 set in September 1995. Jim was the first ever short track world champion in 1978.
Until such time as it is ratified by US Speedskating as a National masters record, it will be recorded in red alongside Jim's record.
Congratulations Brian.
Note: The world records listed on this site have all been collected from national skating bodies as current national records. The best of these records are listed as world records. This is the only standard that has been used to record the best times and cannot be termed 'official' until a governing masters body recognises them as such.

Good on you for taking the time to do this. Hopefully it will encourage some of you oldies to go the extra distance and get your name up in lights!
See you next year... although I'd say Terrao would have taken care of most of the records I'd be eligible for :)
