NYRR posts 2 world records from last week’s 1500s

Better late than never. According to the NYRR club’s results site, Poland’s Zofia Wieciorkowska clocked a 1500 in 4:40.4 to beat the listed W45 world record of 4:41.67 by Spain’s Aurora Perez in 2006 — as telegraphed a week ago. In Heat 3, Marie-Louise Michelson is indeed credited with a W65 world indoor record of 5:52.1 (lowering her own mark by 5 seconds). Both were set at the Armory track in New York in the “Thursday Night at the Races” series. Nice runs, ladies!
