Today in Ireland, Mary Cain ran 4:13.46 for 1500 to finish 6th, 5 seconds back of the winner.
Definitely a step in the right direction for Cain who ran 4:20.73 11 days ago in her European debut in Germany.She's still got a ways to go to be a force in the US or internationally.
(We didn't see the race but see some message boarders commenting in the Swedish WR meet thread oday did. We'd love to hear your comments on how she looked.)
In other distance action Michael Rimmer and Melissa Bishop got 800 wins. Shawn Barber won the pole vault.
