Kris Paaso runs lifetime best in the 1500 — 4:23.54 at age 40!

Kris Paaso

Kris Paaso, the new W40 middle-distance star, is reportedly not interested in Sacramento worlds. Pity. She ran a lifetime best of 4:23.54 in the 1500 meters Sunday at the Payton Jordan Invitational at Stanford — a relative stone’s throw from Sacto. (See her results.) Masters Mole 43ce reports: “We have had many discussions on this, even up to April 23rd and 24th. Long story. From a coaching perspective, it seems irresistible! But when your athlete is a 40-year-old person, you don’t always have the persuasive powers you might have over an 18-year-old college student. Like I said, long story.”

    What a wonderful performance by Kris; congratulations to you. Your time, of course, brings up a familiar problem; it is one of about 18 marks (my best estimate) that are under the listed W40 record of 4:32.73 by Joan Nesbit-Mabe.

    What do you do when the listed record ranks about 19th on the all-time list? What can be done? And here we are, essentially 2 months after Albuquerque, and various marks made there in the 60, 200, 400, 800, high jump, and shot put, among other events, have not been listed. Oh, well.

    Wow!

    That’s All-American Status… for a 40 year old MALE
