A personal best doesn't mean the best performance in an event so far - it means the best that an individual has ever achieved. I would take issue with several other of the answers given in that alternative words or phrases should be at least equally acceptable - e.g. match, back straight, acceleration phase/zone, changeover, sprint finish, long-jump pit, illegal wind.
