LeBourne, 46, set a pending age group record in the 800 meters, running the race in 1:55.13. Perhaps more remarkably, LeBourne set the record in a race he won even though he was running against 19- and 20-year-olds. At the WMA World Masters Track and Field Championships, held in San Sebastian, Spain, in 2005, LeBourne won individual gold medals in the M45 800 meters and M45 1,500 meters. He also anchored the U.S. gold medalwinning relay team in the 4x400 meters.
Greg Foster Track & Field/Lumberton, N.J.
