International Pentathlon (Women) Record Tables

International Pentathlon (Women) Records

The Track Pentathlon consists of five separate events with grading tables used to convert individual event performances to points. The athlete that accumulates the most points wins.

The Women's Pentathlon contested in Oceania competition uses a different set of events to those used in International Pentathlons at the World level.

The International Women's Pentathlon consists of the Short Hurdles, High Jump, Shot Put, Long Jump and 800m.

The International Pentathlon is a rarely contested event for Masters. The World Masters Champs elects to offer the Decathlon and Heptathlon instead of a Pentathlon for combined events. The World Masters Games will sometimes offer the event.

To be valid for a record, the events for which wind readings are required must produce an average (sum of readings divided by the number of those events) wind reading of +2.0 or less.

Where Centre records are better performances than National or World records, this likely indicates that the athlete either failed to apply for the record within the application window or was unable to meet the stricter paperwork requirements. More recent records could still be in the processing stage at World or National level.

Note: Athletes move. Wellington records applicable to athletes registered to Wellington at time of performance. Island championship records applicable to athletes registered to that island at time of performance. NZ records applicable to athletes registered appropriately to NZMA at time of performance. Oceania championship records applicable to athletes registered to OMA at time of performance. World records quote national affiliation of athlete at time of performance.

Prior to the September 2016 agreement on shared membership between Athletics New Zealand and New Zealand Masters Athletics, only those masters athletes who had joined NZMA were eligible to claim records. Now domestic Masters Records can be claimed by both ANZ and NZMA members.

Note 1: Age factor points tables were updated by World Masters in 2010 and revised again in 2015.

Note 2: Records marked + require recalculation to 2015 factors. Records marked * require the individual event performances to be located to allow the recalculation to 2015 factors.
