Breaking 4:00 indoors (even if on an oversized track) bodes well for outdoors. Good running.

Yeah, that track is, what, 300 meters instead of 200 meters? BTW, Mildenhall won his 3000 heat and set a PR of 7:57.40. Good weekend for the guys (PRs from Beamish (13:51) and Long (13:39), Gibney, and Mildenhall). I thought Mackenzie was going to do the mile out there, but he did not. Wonder what's up.
