John Hinton of North Carolina improved the M45 world indoor record in the mile today at the Hartshorne Masters Miles in Ithaca, New York. Frank Condon of California added an M65 American record in another race at the annual event at Cornell University. John, 45, clocked 4:20.18 to beat the listed world age-group record of 4:21.90 by fellow American Albin Swenson in 1993. Frank, 65, ran a 5:22.02 to nip the listed USATF age-group record of 5:23.05 by Sid Howard in 2004. Alisa Harvey, 42, of Virginia was the only women to run sub-5. Nolan Shaheed, 58, of California ran a 4:45.6, less than 3 seconds off his own M55 world record.

Her mark of 4:52.33 was more than 16 seconds ahead of runner-up Zofia Wieciorkowska of Connecticut. Alisa was 5 seconds short of her own W40 American mile record of 4:47.26, set a year ago in Fairfax, Virginia.
On the Age-Graded Tables, John’s mile is equivalent to an open (age 20-30) time of 3:56.76, and Frank’s mark is worth 4:07.65.
