Alisa Harvey lowers own W40 world indoor mile record

Alisa Harvey out on the East Cost, again allowed back on the George Mason track, reports that she lowered her own world indoor W40 mile record Saturday. “I ran 4:47.2,” she writes. “I finished second behind Keira Carlstrom (4:46.1). It was a pleasure to be allowed to compete again at the Mason track meets. I give much thanks to Coach Andrew Gerard and Coach Julie Henner who were instrumental in removing the ‘top-50 in the world’ rule of the past.” Meet results here show that she beat 16 women (many half her age; she’s 41).
