The Boston indoor nationals wrapped up today with a raft of records — some duly noted and at least three overlooked. Also, the Day 3 results sheet posted Sunday included an addendum: “Some Day 3 results were not received from the meet and are, therefore, notincluded on this page. USATF is trying to get the missing results and will post them as soon as they are received.”

In addition, Friday’s men’s pole vault results have yet to be posted — all age groups M60 and older.
Oh, well.
But let’s savor what we know about.
Jill Geer, USATF director of communications, noted:
Johnnye Valien of Los Angeles set her second world record of the meet in field competition, triple jumping 5.57m/18-3.25 to break the listed women’s 80-84 world record of 5.15m/16-10.75, set by Margaret Hinton in 2002.
(Me: In fact, JV upped her own W80 world TJ record. Johnnye went 5.27 (17-3 1/2) in Linz earlier this month. Not mentioned was her high jump Sunday — 0.94 (3-1), which betters the listed American W80 indoor record of 0.92 set by Hinton in 2003. Johnnye’s 0.94 is just short of the W80 world indoor best of 0.96 (3-1 /34) set by Germany’s Margarete Strüven a week ago in Linz.)
The 3,000-meter race walk saw an American record set as Miriam Gordon of Hollywood, Fla., set the W80 record with her time of 23:08.58, as the first American of her age to walk the distance.
(Me: Not so sure about Miriam being the first W80 to racewalk 3K indoors. In any case, the distinction of being the oldest American 3K racewalker probably belongs to W90 Mary Lathram, who heel-toed 28:13.40 indoors in 2005. And American Fay Benno-Caris holds the W85 world indoor record at 27:11.02, set two years ago in Boston.)
Several other athletes came tantalizingly close to setting records. World Masters Athletics Indoor gold medalist and last week’s USATF Athlete of the Week, Bill Collins of Houston, threatened his own M55 200m dash world record of 23.36, set at the 2006 WMAs.
On Sunday, Collins won his division in 23.43. Nolan Shaheed of Pasadena, Calif., nearly claimed another record after breaking the M55 mile world record on Saturday. In Sunday’s race, he ran 2:09.95 to just miss the world record of 2:08.15.
On the women’s side, Alisa Harvey of Manassas, Va., was just a few strides off her own record in the W40 800 meters, running 2:08.68 to finish near her record of 2:07.23 run last month.
(Me: All true. But Jill missed three other records — JV’s high jump and these on Sunday:
— Bob Whilden, 71, of Houston broke the listed M70 American indoor record for 200, going 27.11 to better the 6-year-old mark of 27.75 by Harry Brown. (The time also beat the listed M70 world indoor best of 27.40 by Britain’s Allan Meddings in 1998.)
— Kathy Bergen, 66, of La Canada, California, cleared 1.31 (4-3 1/2) to break the listed W65 American indoor record of 1.28 (4’2¼”) by Evelyn Wright three years ago in Boston. (It also topped the listed W65 indoor world record of 1.30 by Holland’s Rietje Dijkman last year.) Kathy also set a 60-meter-dash world indoor record in this meet. Her husband, Bert, was fifth in the M65 high jump, BTW. Bert, 68, jumped 1.35.)
So there we go. Another Boston in the books.
Let’s do it all over again next year — in Boston.
