WR

Would be nice to have a list of world records -- is she still the only woman to ever break 9:00 on 2miles or 3200m? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Suahi (talk • contribs) 11:45, 28 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I'll try to do a bit of work on this article in the near future. Sillyfolkboy (talk) 22:23, 1 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

There is a List of world records in athletics but 2 miles and 3200 are not distances that the official world body IAAF keeps records for, therefore any records for those distances would be unofficial.Trackinfo (talk) 05:01, 6 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Prose

Someone inserted a suggestion that this article would be better in prose. I can't see how that would improve this article in the least and I removed that.Trackinfo (talk) 05:03, 6 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
