Sorensen beats Young, takes Portland masters mile in 4:14

M40 Jim Sorensen delivered today, winning the most highly touted masters mile in years at the Portland Track Festival. He did his usual come-from-behind thing to beat M45 world record holder Tony Young, 4:14.47 to 4:22.98. Pete Magill has the best (and only) report I can find online so far. Check out his magnificent account.  I would expect runnerspace.com to post a video of the race here shortly.   Sorensen also revealed his plans for Oshkosh: “I signed up for four events (800, 1500, 5K and 10K) at masters nationals,” Jim told Pete, “because I don’t know what I want to do. . . . Running in my first masters nationals — that should be cool!” Finally, a big HAPPY BIRTHDAY to masters mile organizer Dave Clingan, my partner in crime. He turned double-nickels today and celebrated by running a 1500 in  4:35.17.
