W50 Philly quartet claims American indoor record in 4×800
Chuck Shields reports an American record in the W50 indoor national 4×800 club relay Sunday. The quartet of Wendi Glassman, Mimi Newcomer, Cheryl Bellaire and Phyllis Yester ran 11:37.15 at the USATF Mid-Atlantic Open and Masters Indoor Championships at Ursinus College in Collegeville, Pennsylvania.They smashed the listed record of 12:49.94. (The nonclub 4×800 American — and world — record is 10:49.68 by an all-star team of Kathy Martin, Eileen Troy, Coreen Steinbach and Carolyn Smith-Hanna at 2006 Boston nationals). “Greater Philadelphia Track Club entered a W50-59 in hopes of surpassing the 2001 Indoor cialis American club mark set by Liberty AC in Boston,” Chuck writes. “The time to beat was 12:49.94. Wendi Glassman led off in 2:54, Phyllis Yester ran second leg in 3:00 followed by Mimi Newcomer in 2:53. The anchor leg was run by Cheryl Bellaire in 2:50.” Nice run, gals!

Sorry Ken – but these are last years results.
To be clear, the attached results are from last years meet. Congratz are due to the new record setters.
Maybe that is why Bruce McBarnette tied his own year-old M50 American indoor record in the high jump, clearing 1.93 (6-4).
