Results from the 1500m Race Walk:
W35-39
| Place | Pts | Athlete | Age | Team | Time |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1st | 8 | Cher Armstrong | 36 | Raleigh Walkers | 10:06.04 |
W55-59

| 3rd | 4 | Rebecca Garson | 58 | Raleigh Walkers | 10:12.17 |
Ivonne’s time of 8:52.77 bests her previous team record of 9:10.76 be nearly 18 seconds. USATF’s Masters Age Group Records are a mess right now, but it is possible that this time is a National Record as well. Cher & Rebecca continued their history of quality performances at these National Champs.
