Hartshorne races include women’s elite battle: Sonja vs. Alisa
Saturday brings the always dramatic series of indoor miles known as the Hartshorne Memorial in upstate New York. See a list of the top entries here. One that caught my eye: Alisa Harvey at age 46 taking on Sonja Friend-Uhl at age 40 (who has signaled her interest in Alisa’s age-group world record). This women’s elite race could be a barn burner. M40 Charlie Kern appears to be the favorite in the men’s elite race. And two Nolans might shock as well: Harold Nolan and Nolan Shaheed. Good luck to all, and look for a full report by meet announcer Pete Taylor. Here’s a taste from 2010:

Part of the battle for some of the runners from NJ and PA, as well as Pete Taylor, may be getting to and from the race. Parts of their routes got a large amount of snowfall last night.
Saw one result 4:38 for second M 45
Any other results?
Nolan Shaheed broke M60 WIR by running approx. 4:50.95 (don’t have sheet with me). He was definitely under 4:51.00 to destroy the old world mark.
Sonja Friend-Uhl ran high 4:49s to set meet record for 40+.
Peter- you mean HIS World mark?

Incredible! Legend.
Yes, Matt, I now have my notes. Nolan ran 4:50.96 to obliterate his own world record of 4:57.06.
Sonja Friend-Uhl ran 4:49.82 to set meet record. Alisa Harvey ran 5:05.95 in running second but was not far off her American record (5:04.02).
I was not there, but from a good source have:
