Suzi MacLeod’s WR mile for W75 featured in Eugene TV clip

Suzi MacLeod of Bend, Oregon, has been having fun as a new W75 runner. This month, she ran the mile in 8:16.3, bettering the listed world record of 8:17.4 by Canada’s Hazel Cameron in 1999. It’s also apparently (and strangely) an automatic U.S. record, since USATF doesn’t list a mile record for her 75-79 age group. (Suzi claimed an American record earlier, but it never got posted.) Eugene TV station KEZI, which puts on all-comers meets, named her its Amateur Athlete of the Week and showed this nice clip. Great job, Suzi!
