David Callum presented the Last Chance Indoor National Qualifier at Boston University on Sunday. It was a great time to be in Boston. There were so many fast times and exciting races.
Graham Blanks ran the third fastest time in the country for the 3000 meters. Only Grant Fisher and Cole Hocker ran faster this indoor season (in that duel at the Millrose Games.) Valentin Soca finished in the second position with a time of 7:34.10. Graham's New Balance teammate Sam Gilman finished third (7:34.69)

In the women's mile, Heather MacLean faced a challenging field and ran two fast times in one race. Her finishing time for the mile stands as the second fastest time all-time in the women's mile. On her way to the outstanding finish in the mile, she clocked 3:59.6 to break the US women's record in the 1500 meters.
Sintayehu Vissa running for On finished second in 4:21.51 in a personal best. Maia Ramsden placed just behind Sintayehu for third in 4:21.56, which was also a personal best for Maia.

On Sunday, On's Josette Andrews ran a very fast 5000 meters, taking the win and running 14:44.80. She led New Balance's Emily Mackay, who finished second in 14:45.81 and third place Lauren Ryan (Under Armour) in 15:05.68. All three women recorded personal bests in the event on BU's fast track!

Yared, we don't think you're petty...
In the men's mile, Yared Nuguse sought to reclaim his short-lived mile record by running a fast time at the fastest track in the world. He did run a fast time but it was off the world record. (If you would've closed your eyes, and listened to the cheering crowd, you would have been convinced the world record had been taken back!)
