Tasmanian Masters Athletics Records

Our club maintains a database of state records for Masters athletics. Records are maintained in gendered five year age groups. Tasmanian Masters records can only be set by financial members of TMA or financial members of affiliated Masters Athletics Associations in other states or countries competing in Tasmania.

Requirements for Records

Athletes are to notify the meet manager if they think they are likely to break a record on a Wednesday night, so that steps can be taken to have appropriate lap recorders, watches and wind gauge available. Records set are all subject to ratification by the TMA committee.
