Trip Report

Colleen Milliman did not disappoint us today!! She was competing in the Women’s 800m race at the Hayward Classic today, in the 95–99 year old age group. She was attempting to set her fourth world track record, but missed it by just six seconds. Colleen did set a new American record, however, and did it by taking off over two minutes from the old record time!
We also noted that Colleen seemed to have the biggest fan group. Deservedly so!
