Four-time Olympian Jearl Miles-Clark, who turns 42 in September, was a mystifying no-show at the Boston masters indoor nationals a few weekends ago. But if she was ailing then, it doesn’t show in her latest performance. At the Florida Relays on Friday, she ran the 400 in 55.18. That creams the listed W40 American outdoor record of 56.98 by Lesia Batiste in 2003. (The listed WR is 53.68 by Chile’s Sara Montecinos in 1994.) The “B” qualifying standard for the U.S. Olympic Trials is 52.60 (or the top 30 Americans by mid-June.) So Jearl has a ways to go before thinking Eugene seriously. But nice run, Jearl! Glad you’re OK.
