M35 world record in 4×800 quietly smashed as April dawned

Jason Rhodes, commenting elsewhere on this site, notes that a team he was on shattered the M35 world record in the 4×800 relay on April 3 — two weeks before the record attempt at Mt. SAC. The College of William and Mary, reporting on its Colonial Relays in Williamsburg, Virginia, said: “The day started off with a world record in the 4x800m relay, as the team of Miles Smith, Mike Schroer, Jason Rhodes, and Scott Anderson ran 7:55.67 to break the sub-master’s (35-39 age group) world record by nearly 16 seconds.” (See results here.) Of course, that’s actually a masters age-group record. M35s were added some years back. Our belated congrats to Miles, Mike, Jason and Scott!

    Berra won the 800 at drake 1:59.34 to Nash 1:59.88 close! I know Nash has a heck of a kick, so these guys must have been battling. Wonder if there is a video?
