Alisa Harvey’s indoor track opener: 4:53 mile, 2:12 half
Alisa Harvey, who turned 42 in September, ran a nifty 4:53.36 mile and 2:12.76 for 800 meters Saturday at the Liberty Kickoff Invitational in Lynchburg, Virginia. Alisa holds the listed W40 American indoor mile record of 4:46.29, set last year. But she could use more competition. She won the 800 and took second (barely) in the mile to Emily Anderson of William & Mary. (Emily should thank Alisa for pushing her to a PR.) According to the Age-Graded Tables, Alisa’s mile is worth an open mark of 4:32.

Good job Alisa! Very impressive start to the Indoor season. Must have a very good base going. Does Alisa ever race anything longer than her specialty of the mile? Interested because I will suffer through 5/10k’s (even xc) to get the required strength for that final lap in the mile.
Go Alisa Go
Tony,
Alisa has been a road warrior this fall. She won her age group at the Army Ten-Miler on Oct. 8 in the D.C. area. Alisa had a gun and chip time of 1:00:34 — 6:03 mile pace. I’d be thrilled to go sub-6:30 for a single mile!
