Boston was veddy veddy good to masters over the weekend. On Friday, Sonja Friend-Uhl ran 3000 meters at Boston University in 9:53.04 to shatter the listed W45 American record of 10:02.55 (at 2003 Boston nationals) by Olympic champ Joan (Benoit) Samuelson. (See results here.) On Saturday, a masters mile kicked off the New Balance Grand Prix at the Reggie Lewis Center, and M45 Peter Brady outlegged a strong field in 4:31.02. (He also won the Hartshorne mile.) Kevin Burke, my subject of a week ago, finished in 4:48.4 — 10 seconds better than his recent masters PR. Good for him! The W45 world record for 3000 seems outtasight: 9:11.67 by France’s Nicole Leveque. But Sonja is still a stud.

Here’s how Sonja fared against the kdidies.
