Posted: January 1, 2006 Athletics: Mortimer Sets Course Record At Millennium Mile From David Monti © 2005 Race Results Weekly, all rights reserved RaceResultsWeekly.com Amy Mortimer of West Roxbury, Mass., set a course record at this afternoon's Millennium Mile, a downhill road mile* held in Londonderry, N.H. Mortimer, 24, scorched the course in 4 minutes and 20 seconds, four seconds ahead of course record holder Katie McGregor, the reigning U.S. 10,000m champion. McGregor had set the 4:27 course record in 2002. Canadian 1500m record holder Kevin Sullivan won the men's race in 3 minutes and 53 seconds, one second up on former Brown University star, Patrick Tarpy. Sullivan fell two seconds short of the 3:51 course record jointly held by Scott Anderson (1999) and Andy Downin (2001). Sullivan and Tarpy were the only athletes to break the four minute mark today. The race recorded a record 674 finishers, despite cold conditions. *Course is not certified for distance Comment on this story. |
