75-year-old Jeannie Rice blows away the 10000m world record for the 75-79 age group.
She did it again. On Thursday (July 20), the amazing Jeannie Rice, 75, broke the W75 World Record in the 5000 Meter Run. Jeannie Rice won Gold in Greensboro in the W75 5000 meters with a time of 22:41.46. By our calculations that betters the World Record of 22:53.55 set by British icon Angela Copson in Tampere last year. So, Greensboro Nationals may have already yielded a new World Record and the first morning of the competition isn't even over yet.
Today (July 21) she broke the W75 World Record in the 10000 Meter Run here in Greensboro, pending ratification. Jeannie ran 46:53.07. The existing W75 World Record is 50:00.93, set in 2005 by Melitta Czerwenka of Germany. Congratulations, Jeannie!
