NCAA 1000M WOMEN'S RECORD

I'm pretty positive marey slaney did not run 2:23. That would be a ridiculous time.

WR/World's Best is a tad under 2:29, 2:23.8 is just a typo.

but she could have run 2:32.8??

maybe she ran 1000 yards and they used a generous conversion?

I hate it when they put Colorado next to Mary Slaney's name.

2:23????

No way.

2:33 is a ridiculous time for a female athlete of any level, 2:23 would be like a woman running a 1:49.

It looks like she got the record, it wasn't Bowman's though. Bowman ran 2:42-3ish for the high school national record her senior year, so Olgilvie must be confused on that one. The previous record holder was definitely Teena Colebrook. Either way, fantastic run Kate, and a 2:04 800m split in the relay to back it up!

I can't imagine either of those are correct.

2:41 is very good, but come on, it's slower than the 1500 record pace.

The 2:23 is obviously wrong. I wouldn't bet against slaney for a 2:33 though

The 1000m is not run all that often by US Collegians (Big East and a few other meets as championship events) whereas it is a CIS Championship event in Canada (so the record there is 2.42). If it was a NCAA Championship distance indoors (or outdoors) then it would be much faster than is listed. That some Canadian kid (KVB) could break it says that it was likely a record looking to be broken. I look forward to a battle between her and Sheila Reid for indoor mile supremacy (amongst NCAA-Canadians anyway) in March.

Mary Slaney may have run 2.23.8 for 1000yds (~2.37 for 1000m), but not 1000m and certainly as an "official" collegian she hasn't run any faster than the listed record time (2.41+). This comes under the "don't believe everything you read" category, especially if you didn't read it correctly anyway- and the OP must have not seen the "yards" designation as I find it hard to believe that TNFNews could screw up that badly.
