Jearl-Miles Clark just misses world indoor record at 400
Olympian Jearl Miles-Clark, 41, took third in Heat 4 in the 4 at the Penn State National Invitational this past Friday in University Park, Pennsylvania. No big deal, except for the fact she beat the American indoor age-group record of 57.40 by Lesia Batiste in 2003. Jearl ran 57.09 -- just a sneeze short of the W40 listed world record of 56.82 by Holland's Tilly Verhoef-Jacobs in 1997.
