Jeff Laynes, 37, improved his season best for the 100 by running a legal 10.31 Saturday at the Brutus Hamilton Invitational in Berkeley. He also dropped a wind-aided deuce of 20.92. Aaron Thigpen, 43, clocked a legal 10.93 in the prelims. And in the 110 hurdles (42-inch variety), Peter Grimes posted a nifty 16.21. Not bad for someone nearly 50 years old! The 49-year-old single-age record for the 42-inch barriers is listed as 17.0 by Jack Greenwood in 1975.
