Monica Joyce, Aeron Arlin Genet post nice times at Stanford

Monica Joyce, running at the Payton Jordan Invitational yesterday at Stanford, again broke the listed W50 world record for 5000 meters. This time she ran 17:13.42 — almost a minute behind the 16:19.1 she ran at Mt. SAC, but that was a mark that probably won’t get record recognition.  In the 1500, W40 Aeron Arlin Genet ran 4:35.12, which is behind her season best of 4:27.5. On her Twitter blog, Aeron wrote: “My 1500 was a long way off from what I was gunin 4. I felt every inch of 41, & those 2 back 2 back marathon expos. Need 2 refocus 4 next wk.” Don’t sweat it, Aeron. Just consider it a fast workout! Here is video of Aeron’s race. Here is video of Monica’s race. Thanks to Flocast!

The Payton Jordan Cardinal Invitational was the first since Payton’s death from cancer in February. A memorial tribute for the masters sprint legend was held the night before the meet, and according to John Reid’s article:   

Jordan will be remembered with a moment of silence at Saturday’s Payton Jordan Invitational at Cobb Track and Angell Field at the 5:10 p.m. break. The official starter will start the race and the moment of silence will take all of 14.65 seconds. That was Jordan’s best 100-meter time after he had reached the age of 80. I agree. We weren’t worthy to live on the same planet as the man.
