Kathy Martin on a records rampage; 3000 AR reported

Kathyrn Martin’s time for the indoor mile Jan. 11 has now been posted. According to the New York Road Runners site: “Kathy Martin’s world record in the mile (was) the highlight (of the Armory all-comers meet).” But no sooner we learn of the 5:26.0 hand-time mark that we hear she set another W55 indoor best — an American record for 3,000 meters — at a meet Thursday night. My source didn’t give a time. Now we’re awaiting that clocking as well. (The listed AR for W55 is 11:25.05 by Joan Ottaway in 2000.) Kathy will eventually get an electronic time this season. In the meantime, stay well, KM. Go for it!
