Winnie gets her rightful place at the top of the World Masters Rankings for the 100m Women (40-44) age group during 2011 ! Congratulations !

http://www.mastersathletics.net/fileadmin/html/Rankings/Rankings_2011/2011100metresw.html

Hot on the heels of Winnie was Charmain Barnard, who also bettered the South African national record last season with a time of 12.16 which places her 2nd on the ranking list. Charmain is better known as a triple jumper and still holds the S.A. Senior Women's Triple Jump record for almost 20 years:

Senior Women Triple Jump 13.46m Wind + 0.3 m/s Charmain Barnard Bloemfontein 10 April 1992.

Winnie has just entered the 45 age group, but is sure to be pushed to another age group record by Charmain when they meet at the Gauteng North provincial championships
on 31 March at Pilditch, Pretoria !
