Jamaica’s Aisha Praught-Leer ran four minutes, 31.48 seconds (4:31.48) at the Bruce Lehane Scarlet and White Invitational at Boston University, to break Jamaica’s indoor mile record.
Her personal best bettered the old national standard of 4:32.33 by Kenya Sinclair, done in Gainesville, Florida in 2005. Praught-Leer’s previous best was 4:32.86 minutes in Birmingham eight years ago.
Despite breaking the national record, she finished fourth in the event.
