Al Filreis
My mother is faster than yours
My own dear mother, Lois Filreis, holds the following track records for all New Jersey runners between 1987 and 2006: the fastest woman in the 800 meters (approx. 1/2 mile) aged 65 or older; the fastest woman in the 1500 meters (not quite a mile) aged 60–65 and also aged 65 and older. Here are the official listings.
