PHILADELPHIA - Ida Keeling of New York City set a record that was a century in the making at the Penn Relays on Saturday afternoon.

Keeling, 100, ran in the masters mixed 100-yard dash. She finished last out of the nine competitors, the youngest of whom was 80, but received the loudest cheers in Franklin Field when she set a record for centenarians in 1:17.33.

She did not need to use all her strength to do it, as she did pushups shortly after the race for the photographers.

Champ Goldy, 99, finished eighth with a 45.70. Goldy is a retired minister from New Jersey.

Finishing between third and seventh, with age and time were Bruce Gilbert (80, 19.26), Michael McDonnell (80, 20.42), Susan Wilson (86, 26.78), George Scott (95, 27.24) and Elizabeth Leander (86, 30.16).
