Boston Indoor Games
Check out RunningTimes.com for my race recap and photos of the Reebok Boston Indoor Games held at the Reggie Lewis Track Center in Roxbury, MA on Saturday, 7 February 2009.
A few extra photos, below, and also on my FLICKR photo page:
Jenn Stuczynski sets a new American Record in the women's pole vault, 15 feet 9 inches.
She collected $25,000 for the record, as did Shalane Flanagan for trouncing Marla Runyan's 2001 record by 20 seconds in the women's 5,000-meters with a time of 14 minutes 47.62 seconds.
American Record Holder in the mile, Alan Webb, stumbled with 600 meters to go. The men's mile came down to the final 20 meters, with NZ Olympican Nick Willis pulling out a 3:53.54, followed by Mexican Olympian Pablo Solares in 3:54.52 and American Chris Lukezic holding for third in 3:56.04. Webb finished fourth, four seconds behind Willis.
