I have just come back from a trip to DL land, and  am horrified to discover they spell metres the Yanke way (and they drive on the same wrong side of the road :-)

All the athletics events articles use 'metres' as they were started by
UK authors and it seems to have stuck, see
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/60_metres. There was a conflict when we
started the 60 meter one that it clashed so was changed to 'meters'...

Since we seem to be in agreement, please do visit the article talk page
and add your comments there.
