Watch Cranny's US #2 All-Time 4:10 1500 on Flotrack
Like she jumped in the elite women's 800 at the Mt. SAC Relays two weeks ago last second to run a US #1 time of 2:04 in the 800, Elise Cranny got bumped last second into the fast section of the women's 1500 at the Payton Jordan Invitational on Sunday night at Stanford University in Palo Alto, California.
The increased level of competition paid off for Cranny as she moved one spot up the US all-time list in the event with a near 5 second personal best improvement in a time of 4:10.95. The time equates to about a 4:30 in the mile for those high school boys curious at home.
Only current Nike professional runner Mary Cain at 4:04 has run faster at the distance with Cranny's time moving herself ahead of another all-time great in Jordan Hasay. Race video and interview with Hasay to be uploaded courtesy for Flotrack soon.
